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.

Birth under Rain
During the events of the Long Drift, Egroskyk and his twin sister, Akildis was born within the surviving House of Rain, but their father would abandon them at birth, only being raised by their mother until they were old enough to live on their own. Due to the Rain's situation when the Whirlwind effected the Eliksni, Egroskyk's life was in a risky position at the time, low of supplies and Ether, Egroskyk had to live with whatever they had, not to mentioned his mother was nothing but a Dreg when they grew up. However, when he reached their age, the twins would leave their mother, as well as their House altogether as they reached to the Sol. Living on Earth, the two would live as Houseless bandits, scavenging and stealing from other Houses and even Humanity at a few times, and faced off incursions that they came across, staying side by side amongst the ruins of Earth.

Scourge of the Hive
Following the Battle of the Twilight Gap, Akildis and Egroskyk would hitch a ride on a Skiff that was flying to the Moon, where the House of Exile would be born. Egroskyk and Akildis would become full fledge members of the House, but rarely interacting with their compatriots, if at all. But the twins spent their time 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 such as Thralls 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 Splicership Dreksor-Syn, the current flagship of the Emperors, was spotted near Saturn, with traces of SIVA and Blight aboard. However, the ship fled the system before it could be intercepted.

Egroskyk himself was later confirmed to be aboard the Ketch, along with remnants from the Jackal Splicers and the Houses of Salvation and Vipers. 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.
