Sabborus Keshlam was a Sparron nobleman, from the area currently retaining his namesake. He is remembered by some with fondness and others with disgust, for his life-long campaign to rule to world. At the apex of this endeavor for conquest, Sabborus ruled 85% of the population, with the exception of those directly opposed his claim to power and the people who resided underwater. Though Sabborus and the Tritan emperor agreed to avoid hostilities between the land and sea, they both openly denounced one another's right to power.

With the Tritan empire temporarily out of the proverbial picture, Sabborus was free to focus his efforts on the elimination of his opposition on land, who constantly struggled to regain ground against him. This was a goal which he would never see through to its fulfillment however, dying of old age in the 178th age.

Sabborus would leave behind an array of children, both legitimate and otherwise. Only a handful of these descendants bear any significance to world history. After Sabborus died, his family exploited their collective bid to succession, calling themselves the Keshlam dynasty.
