'''[[Melkezedek the Great]]''' was a [[Feline]] male who was the High King of the United Kingdom of Bakil (which is also known as and is believed to the the first iteration of [[Packilvania]]). He was the 16 monarch of the Iktanite dynasty and of Packilvania more broadly. He reigned from 957 to 983 [[Common Era calendar|CE]].
 
He supervise and directed the addition of texts known as the Bingolian or Melkezedekian additions to the ''Vagumar'' (one of the [[Writings of Paxism]] commissioned by [[Suleiman of Yehudah]]). The Bingolian Additions and the Vagumar are known together as the ''Bas Magdamar''. The Bingolian Additions consists mostly of a single book known as ''the Government''. This book contains instructions for the founding and running of the [[Magisterium of Paxism]] which remains active and is one of the world's oldest continuously functioning organizations.
 
During his reign, the [[Temple of the Restoration]] burnt. Some historians argue that Melkezedek undertook the ''Bas Magdamar'' to defect fromdeflect criticism due to the fire or to prevent the emergence of panic from his subjects about the end of the world. The reason given by religious scholars and to a degree ''The Government'' itself is that High King Melkezedek sought to stem the infiltration of so-called pagan beliefs into Paxism due to the expansion of Packilvania at the time.
 
His work is commemorated by the Temple of the Authority on the grounds of the [[Bingol Royal Palace]]. The sect of [[Paxism]] which claims to draw from his teachings is known as Melkezedekism. Most but not all members of that sect also belong to schools of thought known as Sohadekism and Madvinism which were practiced in Packilvania by the Demirite dynasty and [[Bedonite dynasty]] Respectively. Thus, the Temple is regarded as the third holiest site in Paxism by his followers.
