Immortality, what a curse... and yet man wishes to live forever. How incredibly greedy... Why would you wish to live forever? 

And yet there I was... nothing more then a greedy human. A human who has lived for thousand's of years in solitude, the knowledge of the world stored inside of me. Many have sought my council and knowledge. Heroes of great. Kings of old. Villains of the worst kind. All motivated by the greed for my truth. 

So I disappeared, I lived hidden in privacy and mystery. While countries fought I stayed silent and then... I met him. The only person I truly loved, and the only person who truly loved me. We stayed together till he passed, and even then I stayed with him. Lying with his bones, imagining he was still alive. 

To help with my grief I met many others, both man and woman. None could help no matter how they tried and I would get bored, getting rid of them no matter how much they screamed and cried, I felt not an ounce of pity in my heart. My one true love had passed and I was alone.

I fell into depression and allowed my home to rot around me. When I finally became aware of how much my home had become destroyed, I left.

Taking nothing I ventured away, I traveled the world and learned many new things. Languages and cultures. New sciences. I sponsored some of the greatest people in time. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Leonardo Da Vinci, Issac Newton, Nicola Tesla, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, and many others. 

Part of me still searched for love, but other parts of me gave up all hope. 

When the second World War started I was drafted into it. I climbed the ranks and became aware of a new program... the super soldier program.

I offered to over see it. I met Dr. Abraham Erksine and Howard Stark. Peggy Carter became my friend and I looked up to her. I met Steve Rogers a young man with plenty of courage and strength in his heart. 

I was the one to give the okay on him being used as the test subject for the serum, I watched him grow into a hero and helped him along the way. Finally I found love, in the form of James Barnes. 

What a fool I am... to hope that perhaps I shall finally get my happy ending...

But then again immortality... such an awful curse to bear.
