Forum:Egroskyk, Emperor Archon

"Ah, Egroskyk, silent, sadistic, and completely sociopathic...and I wouldn't have it any other way!"

- Atrykis' thoughts on Egroskyk

Egroskyk, Emperor Archon is the Archon for the House of Emperors and one of Atrykis' most trusted lieutenants. He is also the brother of Akildis, Baron Empress.

Scourge of the Hive
Egroskyk was born into the House of Exile on the Moon, alongside his sister, Akildis. Their mother was a former member of the House of Devils before she was promptly exiled. After their mother died of unknown causes, Akildis and Egroskyk were left on their own within the House. Rarely interacting with their compatriots, if at all, the twins spent their adult lives hunting the Hive around Hellmouth. Egroskyk became fascinated and obsessed with the Hive and their The Sword Logic. While his sister hunted and killed the Hive, Egroskyk often collected their parts, weapons, Worms, and even live specimen at times.

While on one raid, Egroskyk was badly injured by a Wizard. Though Akildis hauled him to safety, Egroskyk's voice box was damaged, rendering him mute and only able to communicate through growls and 'laughing'.

Eventually, the two were found looting an abandoned installation on the moon when they encountered a team sent down by the House of Lions, lead by none other than Atrykis. Atrykis demanded their surrender at first, but Akildis and Ergoskyk refused and fought back. Though they were able to box off Atrykis from the rest of his team and nearly killed him during their duel, they were eventually beaten by the Lion Baron, who shot a power conduit that electrocuted and stunned Akildis before tackling Ergoskyk.

Instead of killing them, however, Atrykis invited the two into the House of Lions; impressed with their strength and skill, seeing as what a Lion should be. The twins would agreed and were brought back to the Lions' Run to be made full fledged members.

The Void Crisis
By the time of the Void Crisis, Egroskyk was nowhere to be found. It was first assumed he had maintained his role as Archon Priest with the Akildis and her Traditionalists. However, data shows that Egroskyk had disappeared entirely from the Sol System. Further intelligence on behalf of the Emperor Reformists and the House of Lions showed that one of the Emperor's two remaining ketches was spotted near Saturn, with traces of SIVA and Blight traces aboard.

Egroskyk himself was later confirmed to be aboard the Ketch, along with remnants from the Jackal Splicers. Oddly enough, the body of Atrykis was also reported to have been kept in cyrostasis aboard the same Ketch. Egroskyk's current location, and motives, are currently unknown.
