		+	Ridelo Wikel is best known for his Napredak theory, which states that the Veiidic infighting commonplace in the preceding centuries was due to a lack of a common struggle. Wikel suggests to unify Veiid, the populace must dedicate itself to non-stop progress. This progress can take any form, be it increasing quality of life, technological advancement, megaprojects, or expansion into the solar system.
		+
		+	Wikel states in his second book, War in Veiid, that Napredak theory is applicable in Veiid because patrist ideals emphasize progress and duty as core values. Patrism has held such sway over Veiid that these values have become deeply ingrained in Veiidic culture. Thus, Wikel argues, when unable to work towards common progress, the populace of Veiid falls into an endless cycle of infighting. The conclusion that Wikel comes to with Napredak theory is that to prevent the cycle from continuing, Veiid must have a perpetual goal to work towards.
		+
		+	In his second book, War in Veiid, Wikel credits the genesis of Napredak theory to his study of Patrism and how religious norms influence even the non-religious. He also aknowledges the similarities to Ascensionism in that they both aim for progress, but states{{Quote\|While ascensionism intends to bring about progress for the sake of material gain, Napredak theory seeks to attain progress lest we fall again into that red fog.\|cite=Ridelo Wikel}}

−	Ridelo Wikel was an Atreian political scientist, soldier, poet, and veteran of both the Atreian Civil War and Novenadian Revolution. Throughout his life, Wikel wrote prolifically on politics and the nature of war, publishing 5 books during his life with another published posthumously.

Wikel worked at NAS Tolburg as a civilian contractor for several years until he finished his philosophy degree. Wikel briefly considered law, but lacked the money. After the death of his father, Wikel returned home to support his mother and run his father's general store.

		+	At age 27 Wikel joined the Veiidic-Baskayan Patrist church, where he met Kallia Vitie. The two began dating, and got married a year later. Wikel was initially tentative to join the church despite being raised as a patrist, but embraced the religion quickly. Patrism and associated themes show up often in Wikel's works, and played a significant role in his formulation of [[Napredak]].
