Samuel Fate is the ruler of a vast inter-stellar empire that threatens the world of the Course Books, who first appears in The Inclination to Destiny and becomes antagonist. Originator of the Long Night; destroyed in the New Day.

Origin

Absolutely nothing is known about Samuel Fate and very little is given about his empire. He is a mage of unspeakable power, and commands and army that wields both magic and technology. He is known by Laytami Gudernsipe and refered to rather cryptically as "the one we missed".

Various characters throughout the cannon refer to areas of the Multi-Verse in which "the Mage Wars never stopped", and it is hinted that Fate and his empire may be only one of dozens of like it. However, victory over Samuel Fate appears to be the one thing necessary to secure the continued existence of the world as we know it.

Territory

The exact size of Fate's empire is not given, but it is generally indicated to be vast. He is able to conquer the entirely of the known worlds within the span of a few human generations(a remarkable feat considering that without GATE travel it would take at least that long just to move from one side to the other).

Governance

Samuel Fate rules primarily by peddling in ignorance. Some worlds are allowed to maintain high levels of technology in order to manufacture war goods, but most of the population is forced to technologically regress. Fate employs technologies similar to the Origin Satellite on technologically advanced worlds to meet this goal.
