Subhraj Anand was a bull born more than 20,000 years before Book 1 as a prince on Bharatam. He was the heir to the throne of the Mongoose Empire, but he and his sister Priyanka found being rich pointless and decided to attempt to achieve what they called enlightenment: the obliteration of all desire and total submission to The Gods. Their father, King Ashcobra of the Mongoose Empire, found their beliefs abhorrent and banished them from the planet. They then ended up on Ryu 97, where Anandism, the philosophy they came up with, began to take hold. One day, during a solar eclipse, Subhraj entered Shadow Mode and blasted the top off of a mountain, revealing himself as The Man of Light and Shadow. As it was now his duty to learn Astral and Shadow Magic and protect The Galaxy, him and Priyanka traveled Ryu 97 and the rest of the Galaxy to master Shadow and Astral Magic. When he returned to Ryu 97, he discovered that the planet had been taken over by the evil warlord Huise Gongniu. He eventually defeated Gongniu's army, but was killed in a duel with Gongniu himself, leaving Priyanka to defeat him. Subhraj was then reincarnated on Caput Tatiium as Harkahome. As Subhraj was the first bull to live on Ryu 97 and he had a son named Wan that was also a bull, Subhraj is the ancestor of all Samoorai.
