...I was only ever a conduit unto greater things, Civatron; the destruction of your galaxy was but a beckoning call for much greater things to come. I will not live to see my work finished...but you...you will...and I will be but a pleasant memory...

- Lord Zhuleshxi's final words

Razindhumas (Infernal Will), otherwise known as Ekthrikos is one of the seven Xhodocto Eyes; the coalesced destructive energies that created the hellish realm of Inferno that acts as the godform of Demonic Energy. The first spawn of Angazhar, Ekthrikos is destruction and malevolence made manifest, bearing an incalculable hatred and endless hunger for the destruction of all life. Ekthrikos remains as one of the most powerful and feared of the Essential godforms, laying waste to endless dimensions.

History[]

Ekthrikos formed into existence as the incarnate will of Inferno, immediately after its creation. As the culmination of all destructive energies that flow through Inferno's hellish landscape, Ekthrikos is the progenitor of the Samut'angar. Since time immemorial, Ekthrikos has sent forth countless Samut'angar to consume entire dimensions, leaving them lifeless burnt husks - the other Essentials have spent eons combating the Samut'angar, only for them to sprout forth from other infernal cesspits. At some point in ancient history, the Iluvii used dire and strenuous means to banish the Samut'angar from the universe, using extremely powerful psionic energy to shield them from returning en mass.

The barrier was destroyed alongside the destruction of the Tigris Galaxy by Lord Zhuleshxi at the close of the Tigris War, allowing the Samut'angar to return and invade all corners of the Gigaquadrant. The rifts caused by the Samut'angar were closed before Ekthrikos could enter the universe through them, preventing the Gigaquadrant's assured and irreversible doom. In present times, Ekthrikos sleeps dormant under the deep fiery seas of Inferno, biding its time until it is beckoned forth again.

Characteristics[]

Appearance[]

Ekthrikos appears as an incandescent Ayrai'Shikua; its physical form is constantly set ablaze by uncontrollable and vitriolic flares of demonic energy that wrap around its very being. As a Xhodocto Eye, Ekthrikos' habitual form is that of a blackened sphere; however, as never having entered this dimension as an unassuming artifact, the sphere that contains its conscience comprises most of his chest area in its full physical form. A radial disc is set upon Ekthrikos' back similar to the physical manifestations of the Xhodocto themselves; this is likely an aesthetic marker of its godlike status over Inferno.

Personality[]

As the very will that governs demonic energy and the endless swarms of demonic forces of Inferno, Ekthrikos harbors inexhaustible and endless hatred for all things - including other demonic forces that seemingly serve Angazhar and the other Xhodocto. Ekthrikos' malevolence is second only to Angazhar, and much of its dormancy in Inferno is spent consistently spawning swarms upon swarms of demonic creatures from infernal pits. Much of Ekthrikos' danger towards other demonic forces is forcibly stayed by Angazhar himself; as a result, Ekthrikos does not acknowledge other demonic forces as potential victims. It is thought however that Ekthrikos has at least some passiveness towards Shu'rimrodir, as it is a spawn of a sibling Xhodocto Eye.

Abilities[]

Whereas most Essential godforms are extraordinarily powerful entities, Ekthrikos' origin as a direct spawn of Angazhar places him at an echelon above most godforms. Ekthrikos is among the most powerful of the Essentials; much of the efforts to prevent Ekthrikos from emerging into the universe was done so by the forces of several Essential godforms. It is said that Ekthrikos' presence alone in this universe could ravage vast swathes of the universe into demonic firestorms (and has done so in countless other dimensions). Ekthrikos is in fact able to manifest in other dimensions in merely its form as a Xhodocto Eye, though this renders it powerless until it possesses a host.
