Biography

Azeryks was originally a member of the House of Winter on Venus. However, his Captain would dock their arms with her bare hands, regarding him as a waste of Ether. Eventually, after his final docking when he thought he would die, an Eliksni named Levaszk would convince him to abandon Winter and join the House of Exile of the Moon. Once there, he would help Azeryks trim the last bits of muscle and shell and show him a way to grow strong without Kells or Archons. After which, Azeryks became very trusting of Levaszk.

Sometime following the emergence of the House of Dusk, Azeryks would be among many Exiles to join Levaszk in finding a new home away from the conflict in Sol. They would eventually settle on the planetoid of Kepler and live alongside the residing Aionian civilization, thanks in part to Levaszk's charisma. While Azeryks found their new home better than Luna, the humidity made his lower arms ache with the memory of Venus. He would befriend one of the Aionions, Rhys, and the two would often talk on what their people had in common, such as scrapworking. Azeryks would also once sing a song of the Long Drift. While Rhys did not understand the language, he could understand the emotion behind it.

Overtime, the Exile's Ether would become tainted by the Dark matter on Kepler. Levaszk would be begin to view it as "Gift-Ether" and claim that he needed to be Archon to make it. Despite his belief in the old understanding of what the Exiles were: that they would not be led, Azeryks trusted Levaszk's decision. He later spoke his thoughts to a group of hatchlings; how Levaszk had saved them all by bringing them to Kepler and away from the fighting with the Guardians, how breathing the Gift-Ether would allow to do more than survive. Azeryks briefly doubted if this path was right, but ultimately decided that it was the only path forward, releasing his last Ether created on Luna.

Azeryks would continue following Levaszk, breathing the Gift-Ether and remembering what he owes him whenever he eats. However, after witnessing Levaszk give a speech to the Exiles decrying the Aionians and that they must take more of Kepler, Azeryks would seek out Rhys, breathing in as little of the tainted Ether as he could. After finding Rhys, he spoke to him about how Levaszk's mind had been tainted by the dark matter in the Ether and asked Rhys if he could tell an Apothecary if he described the symptoms. As he described how Levaszk claimed to hear the voice of the Giver, Levaszk began speaking through Azeryks with Rhys watching in horror. Azeryks then told Rhys not to trust him again before fleeing back to his Archon.
