The First is the overarching, nigh-absolute leader of the Major Explorer Group. He garners de facto leadership of the Editorial Council of the Major Explorer Group, but hardly ever exercises this power.

Life

The First was born a healthy male on June 9th, 1850-1853 (although unconfirmed, the former is likely.) During his first two years of life, he contracted various infections; this was odd, due to the wealth of the family he emerged from, and seemingly healthy practices within. Out of fear of these infections being fatal, the family was very strict on the First. By the age of six, it was decided that he would be homeschooled and tutored until eighteen; then, he would be assessed for health, and sent to the University of Cambridge. This time was very hard for the First, as he remarks having been rejected by other children his age due to his privatized life. At the age of 11, he snuck out of his parents' estate to go to a library; it was quite far, having been a tad over 4 miles away (33 city blocks; 7.5 kilometers.) Nevertheless, the young child managed to reach the library and stayed for a few hours, before deciding to retreat back to the estate. Surprisingly, his parents were home and confronted the child; security was to be increased around the estate, and he would not leave again. Although the First protested, this was entirely in vain. The majority of his life until 18 was rather unremarkable, and thus will not be included in this page.

At 18, the First was sent off to the University of Cambridge, where he managed very well; he was extremely joyful to be away from his home, yet still cared for the learning environment that effected him. Graduating with a PhD at the age of 21, the First decided to finally garner employment. Sometime in 1877, the First was elected as a minor government official in the United Kingdom. Although not in direct commune with Queen Victoria or the larger British government in of itself, the First desired to rise in rank. Sometime in late 1882 to early 1883, the First noclipped into the Backrooms whilst in a lucid dream. This was done by various colleagues of his; they had seemingly found a location of noclip and forced the First within. Temporal Displacement's effects on him were extremely mild, and thus no major change in time was caused. The First, having noclipped during a lucid dream, seemed to garner some form of power in the Backrooms. Although not as omnipotent as described in the original Theory of the Lucid, this enabled The First to travel through Levels with extreme ease; founding the Major Explorer Group's Consensus of Impresarios within ten years.

Life within the Backrooms

Due to the aforementioned abilities of The First, he has survived over 170 years whilst still appearing as a 30-33-year-old. Although there are speculations regarding The First, his family, and more, nothing is confirmed; however, it is majorly accepted that he has a wife and at the very least one child. Within the Backrooms, residence is unconfirmed; it may vary, but this is unlikely, due to the dangerous nature of the Backrooms and the ability of the First not being a trait that can be inherited. However, it is accepted that what the First inflicts upon himself using his abilities (perks such as longevity,) he is capable of causing upon another. Nevertheless, this has never been done, except in the likely case of the direct family of the First.
