Namrask

Namrask is a Fallen from the House of Light who left the House of Salvation in the Lorebook: Achilles Weaves a Cocoon. Regretting the past atrocities he committed in his lifetime, he sought to escape from it by becoming a weaver in hopes of no one remembering his past.

Early life
Whilst the early life and identity of Namrask is unknown, he lived on Riis alongside his race who were described as peaceful gardeners. The Eliksni were once graced by the Great Machine and with its blessings made many advancements as an interstellar civilization. They also matured to the size of Captains as Ether was plentiful. However, this changed when the Darkness brought a "whirlwind" of destruction that destroyed their prosperous society. Namrask witnessed the horrors it brought and watched the Traveler flee.

Many revered Eliksni warriors, such as Chelchis, Kell of Stone, stood before the "maw", but fell to Oryx, the Taken King; a student of the Deep. When Chelchis fell, the Eliksni were struck with feelings of hopelessness and rage and many were forced to abandon their homeworld. Namrask was among the most prominent of Eliksni who ordered his fleet of ships to follow the fleeing Great Machine. However, in their desperation, Namrask abandoned many ships on Riis that had many hatchlings. He was also aware of Eramis sending her mate Athrys and their children to a different star system, but did not care as he abandoned the Houses who were unable to make war. He relentlessly pursued the Great Machine across the vast expanses of space and many ships rallied behind Namrasks' fleet of Ketches. This period of space flight lasted for centuries and is collectively known as the Long Drift.

However as the Long Drift persisted, the high-ranking Eliksni neglected their old customs and adopted new means of survival. They established a new social hierarchy where disgraced Eliksni were docked into subservience and Ether rations were reduced among the population to starve them into social control. The Eliksni no longer held their past roles of being builders, caretakers, physicians, negotiators, but instead turned into warriors and scavengers. Namrask was instrumental in helping make this an Eliksni law where basic workers such as farmers, healers, weavers were reduced to the labor of a Dreg and forced to steal what they can with a pistol and a knife.

The Smokesword
Reaching to where the Great Machine had fled, Namrask would finally arrive to the Sol System, with each of his ships separately began their own wars against Humanity in anger and favor for the Great Machine, which had floated above the Humans. As for Namrask, he would take the name, "Akileuks", which was a Human hero's name known as Achiles, meaning "woe to the enemy", as well as the epithet "Smokesword". Using these names, he took part in the significant events that the Eliksni, now Fallen, had led, with one notable event being the Burning of London, where he had partaken in the slaughtering of numerous lives and burned down several of their gardens and structures. With the surviving witness, one such being Lakshmi-2, who had saw the killings with Akilueks being at the front of it.

As time passed since the Battle of the Twilight Gap, Akileuks would began noticing the degradation of his kind as the slaughtering continued, witnessing the rise of the Devil Splicers on Earth and then on the Reef, the evolution of Fikrul and his compatriots into the undead Scorn. Horrified at what his people were becoming, along with growing resentment for the mistakes he made and it coming back to haunt him through the Guardians, Akileuks would attempt to abandon it all and discarded his name so that no one would remember who he was before. Eventually he would attempt to become a weaver, hoping to create a new life identity for him to live by.

The Empty Weaver
Some time later, Akileuks left the Tangled Shore at Eramis' invitation, arriving onto Europa under the assumed identity of Namrask, a weaver. He was placed into a group of House-Winter Dregs and implored to fight with House Salvation. Namrask refused, citing the self-destructive traditions and transformations the Eliskni have undertaken since the Whirlwind.

Following Variks' call to arms, Guardians of the Last City arrived on Europa, resulting in the deaths of Akileuks' companions: Eoriks, Oeriks, and Yriks during the War of Salvation. Namrask fled to the House of Light's refugee camp in the Last City's Botza District, where he learned to work in human textiles, eventually gaining enough skill to gain an audience with Ada-1 and her Synthweave Loom.
