===Overview=== | |||
Thralkis previously served as a guard for [[Serkuleks, the Fount]]. He was so zealously protective of it, he would lead counter assaults on Guardian efforts to neutralize the production of their enhanced ether. However, because of his preoccupation with the Guardians, he failed to notice one of them shut Serkuleks down. Karnix, Dusk Archon demoted him from a [[Baron]] to a [[Vandal]] by feeding on some of his enhanced ether shortly before chaining him to a wall of spikes as a form of torture. He remained tortured for several days and his wounds became infected. But, using his incredible strength, he broke free of the chains and gone rabid, tearing off Karnix's lower arms with his sharp teeth, who later had to run off in fear of ever encountering Thralkis again. His infection had given him increased physical strength and aggression, the kind unseen in other Fallen. | |||
He could then continue his rampant ways by attacking both civilians and Guardians of the [[Last City]] alike; he was practically a wild animal that couldn't be controlled for months. After the infection partially wore off, Thralkis regained his cognitive skills and could finally become a functioning member of the upper echelon of the Dusk Splicers. His ritual replaced most of his natural muscle mass with hardened SIVA strains, and his brain was connected to the rest of his body via nanites which protruded his skin in several regions in his body, effectively causing him to bleed. To contain this hemorrhaging, he donned a heavy SIVA exoskeleton with external weapon systems and extra appendages, enabling him to wield multiple weapons at once. His scars remained hidden to the rest of the world, and all Guardians could ever look at was a rumbling metallic monstrosity... | |||
