Background:
Noone knows what his mortal life was like
But in 1950 he appeared, he didnt have a name for the first few months, till someone named him Ophellion. He was a brief member of the Court of winter before joining the Winter Court.
He built contacts in the goblin markets and a few years later was handed the Winter King position.
He was a very active member, learning and spending a lot of time in the Dream world and soon became a very able Oneiromancer and Skilled at Oneiromachy. That caused friction with a Ikelos, The master of Sleep.
The Ikelos Challenge years
1974: Apparition of Ikelos. In the Goblin markets, a new dream, a dream filled with angst and sorrow was made available. A Dream of supreme quality. Ophellion at that point lost all his contacts in the goblin markets. Ikelos went to challenge Ophellion in Oneiromachy to see who was the better changeling. Ophellion lost horribly and was scarred mentally after that single combat.
1975: Ophellion, weak from the 1971 defeat, challenged Ikelos to a revenge match, to see who was the supreme Oneiromachy master. Again, the Stronger Ikelos won out and Ophellion returned to his home a broken man.
1976: By this point, this annual event became well known and betting pools, festivities and commemorative dreamvessels were offered to interested Changelings in all goblin|winter markets in England. Ophellion was feeling the heat, not liking being on the forefront battling this Ikelos. Odds were drastically against Ophellion. During the Oneiromachy, Ikelos was suddenly felled down, victim of a goblin spell. Ophellion stopped the duel, not willing to take advantage of this.
1977: Security measures in place by the goblin market of Essex, permitted the 4th Annual Oneiromachy challenge. It was to be the final confrontation. Ikelos seemed to enjoy battling Ophellion and showing to others his grand powers. Ophellion kept returning to the fray, year after year. Defeat after defeat. During the Challenge, Ophellion kept refusing to bow down, to submit. The Challenge was epic and grandiose. Ophellion surviving the dream-attacks of Ikelos, barely holding on for hours, before saying a single phrase...
Ikelos then felled down unconscious and when he finally woke up, tears felled down his cheeks and he left England, never to return.
1978: Ophellion, secure in his throne and his capacities, continued his rule without further challenges.
