San-Sokeh

San-Sokeh is a major character in the Pyroverse. Formerly a mere preacher of the Cataloger race in Fera's time period, a message from the beyond eventually sent him back into the past, where he acted as an orchestrator and instigator of many of the actions that allowed the goddess Tiera to regain her full strength. Seeing himself as a messiah-like agent of her will, San-Sokeh now serves a member of the Chosen Four, a being of immense power tasked with overseeing Earth's subjugation as Tiera rejuvenates her power and plots to regain control over the universe.
==Personality==
San-Sokeh can be best described as a very serious individual, considering every action he is involved in very thoroughly and cautiously before making a decision on what he will do in a given situation. This can lead some to initially believe he is slow and dimwitted, when the exact opposite is true; San-Sokeh is analytical to a fault, only showing signs of confusion or protest when something throws him completely off guard.
San-Sokeh also thinks of himself rather highly; while he used to see himself as rather average for a Cataloger, questioning elements of his race's heritage such as their use of Lillius as slave labor, being chosen from on high to serve Tiera directly has inflated his ego to dangerous levels, making him see himself as a being more powerful than anything other than the goddess he now serves. He shows unwavering levels of dedication and devotion to Tiera, and open disdain towards any who would dare defy her, even if it is mere backtalk from another servant of the goddess. San-Sokeh is not one to break into a rage easily, but it is entirely possible, and in such instances he tends to vent his frustration by means of violent assault.
San-Sokeh also has a notable sexual side that he desperately represses, worried it will make him seem less than pure. That said, this side of him does occasionally reveal itself around Raune, and he becomes noticeably more domineering and abusive in these instances. 
==Description==
As is common for a Cataloger, San-Sokeh's general appearance is that of a large monochrome crustacean-like humanoid, with a large jaw-like faceplate that rarely finds itself opening and a row of shell ridges running down the back of his head. He possesses four glowing orange eyes, two of which reside on the front of his face and two of which are located on either side of his head, where human ears are located.
San-Sokeh's common garb is an elaborate garment consisting of black, grey and orange cloth, resembling a preacher's robe. Draped over the back of his neck is an orange scarf-like ornament, which bears the six-fingered hand insignia often associated with Tiera. He also wears a small ornamental crown around his face, made of an unknown silvery metal.
==Abilities==
Like all Catalogers and similarly to a lobster, San-Sokeh is biologically immortal, meaning that he cannot die from old age or sickness. He is, however, fully capable of being harmed or killed by direct harm or trauma.
San-Sokeh's muscles are tightly honed and coiled after nearly a millennium of training in various martial arts, granting him the ability to move and strike at speeds that render him nearly invisible to the naked eye. With the sharp shell covering his fingers, he has developed a fighting style primarily consisting of high speed open-palm strikes, capable of piercing clean through a target's body in a single attack. He also has a penchant for rushing up to opponents and grabbing their neck, usually followed up by choking them or slamming them into the ground.
==Appearances==
===Heroforce: Heart of Iron===
San-Sokeh makes a minor appearance in his debut story, primarily being seen as an ally of Terran commander Gangue. In the story's finale, he aids the commander in arresting Lucius and his allies, taking the Lillius regent Raune for himself.
===Pyroverse: Collision Course===
In his second appearance, San-Sokeh becomes more prominently featured after a message from a dying Tiera results in him murdering Gangue and travelling to the past, where he convinces Katarina Omegance to amplify her strength with Feyblood and transform herself into the ideal host for Tiera to inhabit. Struggling to fight off Lucius and his new allies, he and his goddess eventually emerge victorious, with San-Sokeh himself being empowered by his mistress and being promoted to the Speaker of the Chosen Four.
==Trivia==
*Visually, San-Sokeh's design was inspired by the Chozo Statues from the Metroid series. Many of his personality elements simply stemmed from the desire to have a preacher-like figure interact with Tiera, but his sexual deviancy was inspired by Frollo from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
*San-Sokeh's intense speed and combat style are inspired by the high-powered strikes of the mantis shrimp, which are capable of generating miniature explosions upon striking a target.
