A really long time ago he really liked some chick, and gained Jesus powers letting him absorb the sickness out of people into his body. He was Noctis' granddaddy's brother and basically his brother and him were competing to be king of the whole planet but the gods have to choose you. Ardyn started to get AIDS from healing too many people with spaceAIDS and it was getting to be time for the gods to choose a monarch so he went with his babe to some cool ruins to see the crystal(tm) because he was told he was gonna be king but it turned out it was a trap. Noctis Sr. Sr was lying in wait and killed his hot babe and when Ardyn approached to crystal to talk with Bahamut and be like "bro wtf" he was just like "i was just joshing lol u r basically destined 2 sit in tha cuck chair" and gave him super powers so he couldn't die and made him live a fucked up existence on some rock in the ocean for like 2,000 years then the nifelheim empire broke his ass out of ocean rock prison and he enacted his plan to get revenge on you for being his brother's shitty spawn and finally experience the sweet release of death in one swoop.
