Just for the reference of the timeline, when Regulus met Emilia when she was a child, was 100 years ago. Emilia was frozen for a century. More than 100 years ago, Regulus used to live with his family in a village of a small country outside the Four Great Nations. His father was an alcoholic yet tried to be a good father, his mother complained about bad earnings but apologized for it occasionally, and his two brothers who were sometimes mean to him but gave him their share of their meal if he accidentally spilled his. At an unspecified point in his life, Regulus was chosen as a Sin Archbishop and obtained the Witch Factor of Greed. In accordance with his deepest desires, he developed the overpowered Authority of Greed, which he used in the following century of his life. Regulus subsequently killed his entire family, then the villagers who looked down on him, followed by the people from the nearby town who pushed his family into such peril, and finally, his entire home country. He broke the mind of his childhood love, slaughtered her family, and forced her to marry him, thus compelling her to become his wife. Only after having committed such atrocities did Regulus finally see a way to live–free of all worries, not needing anything as he considered himself satisfied as he was. However, she eventually committed suicide, sneering in her last moments. Happening across this, Regulus buried and made a grave for her, and began to take many wives after her, forcing each and every one of them to remain expressionless and never smile like his childhood friend did. At some point in the past, Regulus got hold of a small black box, similar to the one Petelgeuse Romanée-Conti used. It is unknown if it was the exact same box or a different one. Regulus, however, did know what was inside of it when Petelgeuse showed it to him during the events of the Elior Forest battle, suggesting the box Regulus once held contained either the Witch Factor of Greed or Sloth. In the following years, Regulus became the Sin Archbishop of Greed, joining the Witch Cult where he became the leader of the radical faction. Familiarizing himself with the doctrine of the Cult and its members, Regulus met Petelgeuse, the leader of the now-forgotten moderate faction. It's safe to assume the two didn't harbor a friendly relationship although they occasionally cooperated along with the other Sin Archbishops. Just like other high-ranking members of the Witch Cult took care of their own eccentric goals, Regulus spent his free time carefully and meticulously search of beautiful women he'd forcefully marry and spend his days with, before eventually watching them die, be it from natural or unnatural causes, more often than not being the one who delivered their deaths.
