==Biography== | ==Biography== | ||
Varlak, the Corruptor is one the first [[Knight]]s created among the first Hive and with his raw strength and power, he became one of the strongest among them. Varlak joined Xivu Arath's main force, Arath's Vengeance, for numerous reasons: he believed she embodied true strength, her forces took part in more wars and finally he was enamored by her. Varlak rose through the ranks of the Vengeance with sheer brute force, both through feats of destroying civilizations and slaughtering those who stood in his way in the army. While there were some who considered him reckless, Varlak believed himself fulfilling their sacred Sword-Logic by killing those who were weak. Despite his belief in strength, Varlak is in no way a mindless brute. Varlak has proven himself to be an uncanny tactician, for even he knows that strength needs direction. Many of those who underestimated Varlak, learned that the hard way. | |||
Varlak earned his name for his ability to decay and rot anything he kills with his dual [[Ascendant Sword]]s but more so for his ability to take the powers of his defeated foes and create darker, corrupted versions of them. Thousands faded and were left as festering corpses at Varlak's hand with this ability. He took sadistic pleasure as he watched the last bit of life left them and stole their power in Xivu Arath's name. Xivu Arath was further impressed with his exploits and as a reward, named him the leader of Arath's Vengeance and her consort. After [[Oryx]] gained the ability to Take, he followed his consort into traveling the universe to become stronger, as she felt Oryx became to powerful for her to accept. | |||
It is rumored that he has been a long-standing rival to [[Alak-hul]], The Darkblade. Both were ambitious, powerful and desired to be gods of the Hive themselves. When he learned of his rival's attempted usurpation, he was disappointed that he could not take part in defeating the Darkblade but laughed at his eternal sentence. | |||
After he, Xivu Arath and the rest of the Hive learned of the deaths [[Crota]], Oryx and numerous other Ascendant Hive, Varlak considered this not only an opportunity for vengeance but also make himself and his consort the masters of the Hive. He is particularly angered that the [[Guardians]] killed Alak-hul because he desired to do the deed himself and thereby prove himself the superior of the two. With Alak-hul dead at the hands of the Guardians, Varlak feels he may now never know. However, he decides to circumvent this by destroying Alak-hul's killers, which would in turn prove himself more powerful than the Darkblade. Varlak has taken a unique interest into the elusive [[Warmind]], [[Rasputin]] and his constant endeavors to stall the Hive. Therefore he plans to corrupt the ancient machine into serving the Hive, gain as much powerful technology from or destroy him before it can subtly but inevitably aid the Guardians. | |||
