'''Brian Aaron Nadalny''' more commonly known by his ring name '''The First''' is an American professional wrestler currently competing in [[EPW]] and [[A1E]]. His gimmick is born from his real life belief in reincarnation, paranormal events, and spirituality. He alleges that he is the first soul to ever enter into a human being, and has existed in various incarnations for roughly 6,000 years.

=History=
The First spent his life in the North Shore. At the age of 16 he had epiphany brought about from a series of dreams after a past life regression, in the dreams he saw himself amid a group of humans who did not show the spark of a soul in their eyes, he was the only one who had undergone ensoulment. Over time others in the group began to show they had souls also and thus what we know of as humanity began.
With this knowledge, he managed to convince his friends in high school of this fact and began calling himself and being addressed as "First" or "The First". Around his 18th birthday he began training at Supreme Wrestling Academy in Boston. After 2 years in school he worked local New England based leagues for a year before getting a call to UCW.


'''Castor V. Strife''' is an American professional wrestler currently competing in [[New Frontier Wrestling]] and [[A1E]]. He portrays an independently wealthy film maker and is best known for his outrageous promos which often include themes of psycho-sexual degradation, bisexual eroticism, bondage, perverse obsession, surrealness, delusion, dream sequencing, and avant garde cinema.
In UCW The First quickly established himself as one of the top stars of the company, debuting with a win over Jonathan Marx, he went on to win the UCW World Title in a three way dance with [[Dan Ryan]] and [[Irish Red]]. After holding the belt for a while he lost it to Irishred in a [[Last Man Standing]] match, in which First was tied up the ropes and then repeatedly and brutally chairshotted in the head by Irishred. First returned and was the ref when Irishred retained the UCW World Title over Jonathan Marx. Then in a Multi-way [[Steel Cage]] match for the UCW Title, First again won the title from Irishred, before the company went out of business.


__TOC__
First wasn't seen for a while before resurfacing in EPW, this time with a tag partner who was a masked man named 'Dope' who would end up revealing himself to be [[Felix Red]]. The team sputtered in it's attempts at gaining an EPW World Tag Team Title Shot, and then finally broke apart with Felix revealing himself, but they quickly reformed and then defeated [[The Proletariat]] for the [[EPW World Tag Team Titles]]. After that the Forsaken went on a 15 month run with the titles, before finally losing them to [[Jared Wells]] and [[Larry Tact]] of [[Anthology]]


=History=
During his time as tag champion, The First challenged [[EPW World Champion]] [[Sean Stevens]] to a match and was defeated, but only after having had Stevens pinned while the ref was knocked out, this match was an important turning point in First's career as it established him as a real contender for the EPW World Title.  
Details regarding the early life of Castor V. Strife are sketchy at best. He was born in South Tyrol, Italy, at the Austrian border where the Italians speak German. At the age of 10, his parents moved to Los Angeles, California before eventually retiring in Arizona. Castor, by then 16, was working as an intern for Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer and decided to stay in Hollywood to pursue his dream of being a famous director. By the time he was in film school, he was working weekends in a local wrestling promotion where he would do video distribution in exchange for booking. Quite the prodigy in the ring, he learned the ropes rather quickly and had several tryouts for big-time organizations by the end of college.


Joining NFW's ranks in 2001, Castor set out to show the world his vision using pro-wrestling as his platform. He made his mark early, going unbeaten in his first three matches before dropping a razor close match to then NFW World Heavyweight Champion Shane Southern. During NFW's Season 1, Castor was drafted into the North Division where he enjoyed mixed success until resigning from full-time competition by Week 11. Fortunately for him, the newly established NFW Eastern Conference was in dire financial straits and in need of cash. The surplus of revenue Castor received from his films wound up funding the East's operations, and led to him being named Chairman of the Eastern Conference by Commissioner Michael Manson. Each show ended as a "Castor Von Strife Production." (Reportedly, Castor's middle name is actually Valor, although some maintain it is Virtuoso). By the time Season 2 rolled around, Castor had a ceremonial role in the NFW East (mainly handling Michael Manson's documents and such).
When seeking another title shot The First had his promo interrupted by [[Cameron Cruise]] and the two ended up meeting for the [[EPW Intercontinental Championship]] a match that ended up with Cruise winning with aid from [[Copycat]]. After that match First tagged with Sean Stevens and they defeated Copycat and Cruise when [[Shawn Hart]] accidentally hit Cruise with the EPW World Title Belt.  


From 2007-2008, Castor stayed out of the business completely to focus his attention on the ever-profitable Castor V. Strife Productions until making his return to NFW in late 2008. Initially tagging with Problem Child in Jimmy Mylde's 'Bold New Disaster', Castor decided to part ways from the group to once again focus on singles competition. One noticeable difference about Castor since his former days is the change in muscle mass. Initially weighing in at around 245 pounds, Castor came back 20 pounds heavier at 265, rumored to be on banned substances supplied to him by Jimmy Mylde (who himself has been indicted on steroid trafficking charges). Some even speculate that years of blackmarket Rx abuse has turned Castor delusional (as if he wasn't already).
After that match, a win over Shawn Hart, and a draw with Layne Winters, First again sought a title shot, this time seeking to be added to the main event of [[Russian Roulette]] but before he could stage his sit-down strike, he was attacked by former tag partner Felix Red, and is now set to face him in a street fight at Russian Roulette.


In early 2009, Castor had a series of unwelcome run-ins with NFW Television Champion Impulse, culminating in their upcoming title match at Crash 50.
In A1E First has won his first three matches, a three way dance against [[Castor Strife]] and [[Mac Flasher]]. A six man tag, and then a conventional tag match. His next bout is a [[TLC]] match for the [[A1E Challenge Championship]]

Brian Aaron Nadalny more commonly known by his ring name The First is an American professional wrestler currently competing in EPW and A1E. His gimmick is born from his real life belief in reincarnation, paranormal events, and spirituality. He alleges that he is the first soul to ever enter into a human being, and has existed in various incarnations for roughly 6,000 years.

History

The First spent his life in the North Shore. At the age of 16 he had epiphany brought about from a series of dreams after a past life regression, in the dreams he saw himself amid a group of humans who did not show the spark of a soul in their eyes, he was the only one who had undergone ensoulment. Over time others in the group began to show they had souls also and thus what we know of as humanity began.

With this knowledge, he managed to convince his friends in high school of this fact and began calling himself and being addressed as "First" or "The First". Around his 18th birthday he began training at Supreme Wrestling Academy in Boston. After 2 years in school he worked local New England based leagues for a year before getting a call to UCW.

In UCW The First quickly established himself as one of the top stars of the company, debuting with a win over Jonathan Marx, he went on to win the UCW World Title in a three way dance with Dan Ryan and Irish Red. After holding the belt for a while he lost it to Irishred in a Last Man Standing match, in which First was tied up the ropes and then repeatedly and brutally chairshotted in the head by Irishred. First returned and was the ref when Irishred retained the UCW World Title over Jonathan Marx. Then in a Multi-way Steel Cage match for the UCW Title, First again won the title from Irishred, before the company went out of business.

First wasn't seen for a while before resurfacing in EPW, this time with a tag partner who was a masked man named 'Dope' who would end up revealing himself to be Felix Red. The team sputtered in it's attempts at gaining an EPW World Tag Team Title Shot, and then finally broke apart with Felix revealing himself, but they quickly reformed and then defeated The Proletariat for the EPW World Tag Team Titles. After that the Forsaken went on a 15 month run with the titles, before finally losing them to Jared Wells and Larry Tact of Anthology
