Ichabod Chuntus

"It was a pity. Chuntus was a good man who had been twisted by a cruel world. In another life, we could have been allies. Even so, you know I had to do it to him."
-Hiram Lamont Forsythe Carjimbo, on his encounter with Ichabod
Ichabod Haruspex Theramere Chuntus was a Shadean revolutionary from the Multiversal Concordat. For a time, he was the most influential figure in the Concordat behind Aldor Zenquinius. A complicated figure, he is remembered by some as a terrorist, others as a freedom fighter, and still others as a mix of both.
== Early Life ==
Ichabod Chuntus grew up on the planet Shade'enar, homeworld of the Shadean people. Shadeans, able to contort their body into any possible position, were valued workers in the Concordat, and were exploited and subjected to draconian breeding programs by a particularly cruel Satrap. This, along with the fact that he never recieved any presents for the question mark holiday, contributed to strong feelings of resentment against the Concordat.
As a young man, he was moved by the speeches of the social reformer Jerbeebis Dwan. He distributed his propaganda and was a minor leader of Dwan's general strike, but stopped when Dwan's universe was destroyed by a discombobulator ray. These events convinced him that only incredible violence could bring down the tyranny of the Concordat.
At some point, he fathered a daughter with a human woman.
== Chuntus Rebellion ==
Using his experience as a union leader, he rallied the Shadean people, who flocked to him as a new beacon of hope. However, he also had a penchant for attacking innocent civilians, and an odd hatred of the question mark holiday. Chuntus had heard stories of the more accepting societies outside the Concordat barrier, and hatched a plan to destroy both the Concordat and the Question mark holiday by shattering the language stream. With this as his new goal, he began an all-out civil war in the Concordat with the ultimate goal of reaching Aldodundis.
He eventually did, but was foiled when Hiram did it to him, forcing him to only take half of the language stream. Nicolas then saved christmas, which was a crushing ideological defeat for him. Desperate to recover his rebellion, he turned to the Golden Legion. However, Xanos had tricked him, and was murdered.
