== History ==
=== Rising through the ranks ===
Aradan Yomen was born as the son of a minor nobleman in [[Luthadel]]. From a very young he felt destined to be an obligator, he entered the priesthood early and distinguished himself through scholarship and theology, and as a philosopher and thinker he ended up in the [[Canton of Resource]] which was the best place for men with an analytical mind.{{wob ref|7766}}
Once Yomen joined the Steel Ministry, he was unknowingly given [[atium]] and forced into a series of physically draining rituals. His body instinctively reacted and burned the metal, which is how it was found out that he is a [[Seer]].{{wob ref|6119}}
After this discovery Yomen rose in ranks very quickly, being a valuable secret weapon to quell rebels or perform feats of wonder to keep the people in line.{{wob ref|8038}}
When a position opened in Fadrex, Yomen jumped at it, as he knew it was a place where most obligators didn't like to serve because it was too removed from important events. Of all the obligators in Luthadel, he was the only one of any distinguished record who wanted to go, and he beat out more qualified obligators from other cities, as he had connections with the Ministry elite in Luthadel.{{wob ref|7766}}
Within five years at Fadrex, he'd risen to being the [[prelan]] of the local Ministry building, despite his youth. However, by going to Fadrex he gave himself a quick path to prelan, but this also more or less locked him out of any higher ranks.{{wob ref|7766}}
=== King of Fadrex City ===
As the former king of the Dominance, [[Ashweather Cett]], left for the [[Siege of Luthadel]], Yomen seized the chance to appoint himself as the new king of the Western Dominance. He reintroduced the social structures under the Lord Ruler, which did not encounter resistance because the people were used to it. He wore a diadem with an [[atium]] bead on it to show his power and led people to believe he was a [[Allomancy|Mistborn]]. He escaped an attempt to be spiked with a [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] spike.
