“The time immediately following the Crisis was a troubled one for the world. The deorbiting of the SolarMax satellites led to a humanitarian crisis the likes of which had never before been seen, and the world scrambled to find a replacement. Such a replacement was found far swifter than expected, in the form of an ambitious project by Noble Industries.
“Noble used his company's assets to buy out the failing SolarMax, and set to work building replacement satellites. Before the month was out the first replacement was launched, and the other two followed in short order. The world rejoiced, and Noble Industries became rich on the profits from the rebranded Helios Network.
“In the wake of his success with Helios, it was suddenly discovered that Isaac Noble was in fact the long-lost king of Britain. He promptly and graciously ascended to the throne, and, once the crown jewels had re-appeared just as suddenly as they had been stolen, was coronated.
“It was only in the years to come that the true extent of King Isaac's Machiavellian machinations were revealed. Accusations of Laser weaponry mounted on the Helios Network, and a rogue AI in charge of that network, were met with calculating silence from the king, and the newly independent governments of the world were slow to respond.
The crisis was eventually resolved by the intervention of the newly formed Knights of the Round Table. Their assault on Noble Keep, featuring a spectacular duel between Noble's Excalibur (an AI-controlled drone armed with a sniper laser) and Avalon wielding Excalibur (a plasma cannon forged from Zeus' thunderbolt). All observers expected the armed and dangerous Helios Network to intervene in the fight, but it unexpectedly remained dormant. Some sources have speculated that the AI controlling the Network may have had a connection to Avalon and her Knights, but this has never been confirmed.”

“He is King! Once! And Future! He is UPLOADed! He is Immortal! He will reign forever! How DARE you doubt him?!? He is of the royal blood! He is the KNIGHT! He is the NOBLE! He is the MONARCH! He wields EXCALIBUR! Look at the birth certificates! Look at the marriage certificates! Look at the blood tests! Look at the genetics tests! How can his claim be refuted?!?”
