"Did the Khan's daughter send you? That woman ruined me. Promised me the thrones of the world. All I had to do was bring down the Masters of the Bazaar."

Yesterday's King became immortal through a deal with the Bazaar. At some point in the early-mid 1800s, the Gracious Widow advised him to rebel against the Masters of the Bazaar; in retaliation, the Masters razed the Fourth City to the ground, and deposited him in the only remaining part in the Neath, the Forgotten Quarter. (Since then, he seems to have had some run-ins with irrigo, as his memories are very jumbled.) Then they began searching for another city to take. 

Most of the survivors of the razing of the Fourth City went to the Khanate, established by those who had escaped the fall of the Fourth City 450 years before.

Yesterday's King dislikes devils, but is willing to help anyone that seems to be plotting the downfall of the Masters (like the Calendar Council). However, he can only tell these anarchists how he failed in his plot, so that the next generation of revolutionaries can succeed.
