Name : Nicolaus Copernicus

Serie : 1st generation

Type : Darkness

Attack 1 : Father of Astrology
Copernicus is known as the father of modern of astrology. He proposed the theory that the sun was the center of the universe and all planets revolved around that, a view held by ancient philosophers. His theory wasn't widely appreciated until galileo and kepler helped propitiate it and build on it.

Attack 2 : Death and Legacy
Copernicus died on May 24, 1543. He died right as his work was being published, causing uproar in the scientific community who deemed him a heretic. Galileo and Kepler also were tried as heretics for this as well. Eventually due to Isaac Newton's celestial theory, in most non catholic country's it became an accepted and respected theory.
