Who am I? I am knowledge. I am all knowledge. I know all there is to know about anything you need to know about. No, I'm not playing with your mind. It's true, in fact, it's all true. Even the answers in my mind, then answer to anything. Who am I? You should know. My fame is well ranged over the universe. I'm known for answering any question or riddle anyone can think of, answering them with absolute truth. Who am I? I am the Riddlemaster!

How did I become the Riddlemaster? It started thousands of years ago I woke up one morning with vast amounts of knowledge in my head. I suddenly know everything, literally everything. Every mathematical equations, every scientific and useless fact, every rule and equations of physics, time and space. I became the ultimate knowledge in the universe. I became omniscient, all knowing.

But with this knowledge came a massive duty, to protect the one most valuable piece of information that one could have. The Secret of the Universe. The most guarded secret of all time. The only secret that was never to be answered. I never answered it, I just knew the answer, but I new spoke it.

Also with the title of Riddlemaster, which was given to me by the Riddlemaster of the Past, who's job I replaced, but that's another story and too long to tell now. Anyway, along with the title of Riddlemaster came a wrath. A wrath that could not be triggered, for if it was, anything could happen. If I were to lose control of my self, and let the Wrath take over, it could be the end of some poor soul's life.

I began to wonder the universe and answering questions and solving riddles. I donned a suit black, I wore all black all the time. People knew me wherever I went. I had people serve under me as helpers; people would carry out my bidding and punish those who deserved it.

My answers are always true. Sometime people do not accept this, and that's their problem. But if then deny who I am and defy the title of the Riddlemaster, my Wrath would let lose, and they would apologize or die. It was the way it has been done for millions of years.

But the one secret I bore, the one I could not, because I could not let that information out, was the Secret of the Universe. Even if people would ask, I would not tell them. This would raise doubt in them, and if they acted on it, they would suffer the Wrath.

This is what I do.
This is who I am.

I am the RIDDLEMASTER! My answers are always true. If you deny this truth, it's your problem. Defy who I am, and suffer my WRATH! I am the RIDDLEMASTER! I have spoken!
