Lord Zhuleshxi was the first and final ruler of The Congregation, and the last survivor of the Zhulultu race.
History
Origin
Zhuleshxi was a militant commander of the Zhulultu; a highly advanced race regarded as precursors or even Ultraterrestrial that oversaw the propagation of life and civilisation within the Tuuros Galaxy. The Zhulultu during some period of their existence, anywhere between 8.5 billion to 1.4 billion years ago had sworn fealty to the Xhodocto, and thus much of their exceptionally elitist ideals began to influence the Zhulultu to the point of where the Zhulultu as a whole began to exterminate lesser races in order to maintain complete and utter control of the Tuuros Galaxy, right down to the very last sentient individual. Zhuleshxi was one of the most revered 'exterminator-caste' Zhulultu who fervently worshipped the Xhodocto; who in those times were widely known for their destructive ideologies, and Zhuleshxi was viewed as a head of such ideologies and therefore was an enemy of the ancient Gigaquadrant.
By the time of the War of the Ancients, a 2,334,000,000-year long war between the Xhodocto and the Vyro'Narza and Vi'Navitum and countless proxy wars of which the Xhodocto acted through other precursors and Ultraterrestrials (including the Zhulultu), Zhuleshxi was already over one hundred thousand years old and had willingly headed these proxy wars against those of which the Vyro'Narza and Vi'Navitum had allied with. The war eventually resulted with the defeat of the Xhodocto, and the Zhulultu race fell into ideological disarray and rapid political collapse, eventually allowing the life of Tuuros to evolve and populate naturally. Zhuleshxi foresaw the downfall of his civilisation and sought for escape, eventually sending himself into a stasis sleep. Before he did so, Zhuleshxi sworn a pact with the Xhodocto in that by releasing monolithic structures which would trigger Zhuleshxi's awakening, would also trigger the Xhodocto's reawakening into a state of war.
It was eventually on Earth did that ancient humanity activate one of these monoliths which the Zhulultu commander had deployed, and along with the Xhodocto's arrival within the Gigaquadrant once more did Zhuleshxi re-awaken within the barren, enigmatic reaches of the Tuuros Galaxy after one and a half billion years of sleep. Within his flagship, the Zhulultu Ultimatum, he was approached by the Xhodocto of his duty to re-amass their following. Within Tuuros, Zhuleshxi conquered multiple races and influenced them with the Xhodocto's beliefs and his own, which over the period of twenty thousand years had created The Congregation. The Zhulultu technology which Zhuleshxi re-constructed and re-discovered had allowed the Congregation steady and unparalleled dominion within the Tuuros Galaxy, and under his orders invaded the Kicath Empire close to 15,000 BC, where the invasion gained them over seven million territories.

Characteristics
Appearance
Zhuleshxi was of unique appearance as he, in the modern time, was the last living Zhulultu. It was implied that Zhuleshxi was of somewhat greater stature than most Zhulultu of his age, standing marginally taller than most of the Xhodocto husks at the time. He bore the general traits of a Zhulultu; he bore ten nostrils upon his face and six eyes that appeared sensitive to light. His skin was mottled grey and verging on black, suiting his ancient armour of Zhulultu nature that appeared similar to and was the inspiration for most armours for high-ranking individuals of the Congregation. During his life before hibernation, Zhuleshxi had extensive cybernetic enhancements implemented into his body; his arms and lower legs were completely mechanical.
Personality
Zhuleshxi's nature, which was described as thoughtlessly cruel and psychotically dedicated to his masters was what cited him as one of the most hated and feared individuals of the Gigaquadrant and in living memory. Nonetheless, Zhuleshxi was exceptionally intelligent, beyond most mortal comparison and was unusually educated in the lore of the Xhodocto and other Essentials. Much of his manipulative skill was used in maintaining loyalty in the Congregation alongside his ability to spread fear through example. It was his failure however to underestimate the power of other civilisations and individuals due to his life as being viewed as a god among those who the Zhulultu controlled, which eventually lead to his death.
Abilities
The Xhodocto's gift of their energies coursed through Zhuleshxi, and may have been considered before Hez'Kalka, the second leader of the Congregation's remnants as the most powerful user of Demonic Energy to have existed in the Gigaquadrant. Though he rarely ever used this ability within combat, some examples were causing fleets to retreat or being destroyed upon Zhuleshxi's ability to conjure storms as well as being able to deter individuals such as Kroc and Lagartoss from fighting him. His powers increased throughout the duration of the war, eventually eclipsing the power of the Xhodocto in their husks.

Notes
Quotes
“Sincere thanks, teacher for bestowing this journey upon me.”
“Too old and too out of touch with the rest of the universe, it seems. Hmph, the technological and cultural knowledge of a man older than most of the stars just so happened to culminate into a batshit insane asshole with an ego problem, who also just so happened to drag the rest of the damned universe down with him.”
“The War of Ages was terrible, by all means. But if there's one moment I remember fondly was when this bastard died.”
- - Koluap
“Though your race might have achieved a highest level of enlightenment, you in your ignorance have always remained in darkness deeper than that enveloping the lowliest of beasts. To think chaos is the highest form of universal order is as much madness as it is cowardice. Revel in destruction as much as you wish - creation shall ever triumph!”
- - War Predictor Tadjamad during the War of Ages
