Demonkin

"Look, Lieutenant. If we don't stop these things right now, an army from Hell itself will rise up and leave the Abyss." 
-Captain Enriquez to Lieutenant Black
Demonkin are a mysterious sentient species originating from another dimension where they are the sole rulers of the galaxy. They have only been sighted in the Hierarchy fortress the Abyss, from which they made their way into our dimension. They are the primary enemies for much of Black Hearts: Cataclysm's Missions gametype, and a minor one in Darkness Rising's Missions.
==History==
Not much is known about their history, as the only Demonkin to speak was Commander Gha'an Thul. It is unknown whether he is their greatest leader, or simply a military commander in this dimension. Gha'an Thul claims that the Demonkin came from a galaxy with a human-like species and "magicks tattooed humans" (could be referring to Reborn), and that the Demonkin conquered all, and killed every other sentient species in the galaxy. Demonkin probably have firearms in their dimension, considering how proficient they are with weapons.
The Hierarchy met Gha'an Thul in a calm and diplomatic manner at the Abyss, which indicates that it is possible the Demonkin were also planning for interdimensional travel. However, the Demonkin violently tried to take over the Abyss, and were locked down in the dungeons, the black hole shielded. 
Once Captain Enriquez and his unknowing team freed Gha'an Thul and his Demonkin prisoners to help them revolt against the Hierarchy, the Demonkin made an attempt to lower the shields on the black hole keeping more of their species from entering the dimension. With the swelling of the black hole, and the initial explosion in the Abyss, most of the Demonkin died, and it is believed that they are stopped from entering our dimension - for now.
==Appearance==
Demonkin are savage looking in appearance, but they are very intelligent. They have a rough, thick, muddy-colored skin, full of extremely large muscles. They have four eyes, two pairs of two. Their skulls are wide and flat, and bumpy ridges cover much of their heads. Their hands and feet are very humanoid, but their nails are not groomed, and are very claw-like. They have long, extendable tongues like those of lizards, but are mammillian (as confirmed by the few hairs on their back). They stand a little taller than the height of Captain Enriquez, an average male human. Their beastlike characteristics earned them the name "Demonkin", courtesy of Enriquez's science officer Saverio.
