Biography
Early life
Aket was born on 13-8 1798 TT. He was the firstborn son of Kadar, who was the leader of the Arkaran.
During his youth, Aket's father rallied many of the drikes of the Karin Plains against the Andu Kur by challenging the Karinian definition of divinity and claiming that he had fought and defeated the King of the Spirits and doing so granted him special powers. On 24-7, 1787 TT following victory against the Andu Kur Kadar declared the creation of the Akarinian Confederation with himself as the leader.
Kadar grew ill in early 1757 TT. During that time, Aket was by his father's side at almost all times. Kadar died on 12-3 1757 TT and as planned, Aket declared himself the leader of the Akarinian Confederation.
Leader of the Akarinian Confederation
Initially, Aket did not claim the foresight powers that his father had claimed as his father's powers were based on his merger with a spirit and Aket had encountered no spirit. However, during his first year in power, the ossbosches of the various tribal groups would routinely convene to discuss whether or not the spirit that had inhabited Kadar had transferred itself to Aket. On 22-11 of that year, one of Aket's personal Ossbosches informed him that the Ossbosches had been convening to discuss Aket's divinity. On that day it was announced that the spirit that had been within Kadar had fled into Aket upon his death.
Aket died on 10-10 1728 TT and was succeeded by his son Gotiph.

War against the Long One
Most versions of the Karinian Bakoro claim that Aket fought a war against the Long One. The story states that shortly after Kadar's death the Long One began a campaign to kill Kadar's lineage to free the King of the Spirits who Kadar had bound during his journey to the Isle of Mirrors. The Long One's children, the snakes of Akaria, betrayed information about the Long One's plan to Aket. Using this information Aket launched a surprise attack against the Long One, who was defeated and driven back into either the sea or the Spirit Pool.
