Master Cyclonis

Master Cyclonis is the autocrat of the Cyclonian Empire, having inherited the position at an early age from the previous Master Cyclonis. She is fanatical on extending her new empire by conquest. She is the main antagonist of Storm Hawks.
==Background==
=== History ===
Master Cyclonis is the diabolical sovereign of the Cyclonian Empire. She is descended from a long line of evil emperors and became monarch at an early age due to a tragic incident involving her father. Once leadership of Cyclonia was passed to the young Cyclonis, she decided that the best way to expand her empire was by force. She controls a number of Terras within her Empire's borders which she has conquered, and has given over control of these to some of her high-ranking underlings, namely Ravess and Snipe.
=== Present ===
In the beginning of the series, Cyclonis declares her plans to her underlings, recruits the Raptors to her side, and builds the Storm Engine doomsday device. After her spy, Carver, fails to get the Aurora Stone, she sends the Dark Ace to successfully steal it, which she uses to power the Storm Engine. Using the machine, Master Cyclonis plans to wipe out every Terra in Atmos simultaneously, so she can remake the planet in the Cyclonian image, but Cyclonis' plan was ultimately thwarted by the Storm Hawks.
Master Cyclonis largely remains a figurehead of the Cyclonians for most of the series, relying on her Talon underlings to carry out her many plans of conquest. Occasionally, she makes personal appearances to complete her own schemes. These include impersonating Piper's best friend to try to recruit her to her side, trying to eliminate the Storm Hawks using a fighting competition Cyclonia was hosting, and using a canister of Aggrospores to infect Junko and Finn.
In one episode, when Snipe breaks a special crystal of hers, she searches for a repair crystal that leads her to go after the Storm Hawks to acquire it. Cyclonis attacks them with newly upgraded Night Crawlers, sneaking aboard during the confusion. She is defeated but escapes with the repair crystal, which she uses to fix the broken crystal, revealed to generate a holographic image of her younger self with her grandmother, the previous Master Cyclonis.
Later, Master Cyclonis conceives of a grand plan called Operation: Exodus. It is a plan that requires a large amount of warp crystals and a mysterious temple that she sends her underlings to search for and find.
As she leaves with the Dark Ace to check out the temple and bring back the doorway inside, she leaves Ravess in charge of Cyclonia while she is away, trusting her to keep everything on track. She returns to find Ravess, Snipe, and the Reptons locked in the dungeons, because of bumbling power plays. Master Cyclonis would rather leave them to rot, but still needs them for her master plan, only banishing Ravess for her incompetence.
Cyclonis has her subordinates deal with the Storm Hawks once and for all next. She has the Reptons blow up the Condor, but they fail to wait until they were inside before setting it off. Cyclonis expected them to fail and sent an army to deal with the Storm Hawks, also declaring she doesn't need the Reptons anymore and will deal with them too. After her forces failed to destroy the Storm Hawks, Snipe is brought before her and begging for mercy, Cyclonis decides to let him live, but banishes him to the Wastelands.
After getting the key to the doorway from Piper and Aerrow at the Forbidden Temple, Cyclonis uses the door leading to the Farside of Atmos to bring Farside crystal technology far beyond that of the Sky Knights. Using it, she is able to outfit her Nightcrawlers with incredibly powerful weapons and Cyclonia itself with levitation pods, turning the entire terra into a massive flying fortress with which she takes over all of Atmos. With the enhanced Cyclonia, she can destroy whole terras by ramming her fortress into them. She also gets a giant crystal prison to put her enemies inside to be completely immobilized, yet fully awake while inside.
In Aerrow and Piper's battle against Cyclonis and the Dark Ace with the Binding, Cyclonis draws too much energy from the Farside crystals to empower the Dark Ace, which apparently kills him in the process and ultimately destroys the crystal pod. As Cyclonia falls with its shields demolished, she however manages to escape through the door leading to the Farside of Atmos, but fortunately the Storm Hawks then followed in after her. Cyclonis' eventual defeat is never shown however, since the show has been cancelled. Therefore, her ultimate fate remains unknown.
== Appearance ==
==Personality==
Master Cyclonis exhibits a number of traits common to evil overlords: high intelligence, arrogance, expertise in doomsday devices, and a low tolerance for failure on her minions' part, though she is more forgiving towards Dark Ace likely because of his loyalty to her. She believes there is nothing she cannot master or bind to her will. To accentuate her evil personality, any particularly threatening statements made by her are often accompanied by a distorted secondary voice in the background. 
Possibly due to the death of the previous Master Cyclonis, and a combination of her adolescence and the fact that the majority of Atmos wants to be rid of her, Cyclonis is very paranoid and her only true confidant seems to be the Dark Ace. This is likely due to his unconditional loyalty to her, and their relationship seems closer than master and subordinate, suggesting a bond of true trust and friendship between them. The Dark Ace even endangers his life to protect hers.Age of Heroes (Part 2) Power Grab
Once her Talons fail her (something they do quite frequently), she punishes them harshly. The only exception is Dark Ace, with whom she is more forgiving when he fails her as he has rarely done so before.
Cyclonis is a crystal expert and as such finds Piper to be one of the strongest members of the Storm Hawks due to her crystal expertise and fighting skills; in contrast, she is fairly dismissive of Aerrow, the squadron leader. In the episode "Best Friends Forever", she disguises herself as a girl named Lark to befriend Piper, which allows her to spy on the Storm Hawks (Piper in particular) and lead them into a trap. Once she is found out, she tries to get Piper to join her, claiming that they are very much alike, more than she knows. Piper refuses and manages to fight her off, after which Master Cyclonis retreats. Cyclonis uses an oblivion crystal in an attempt to send Piper to realm of oblivion, which fails as Piper states "Oblivion crystals won't work on friends, even if they were your friends for a moment." Cyclonis must have considered Piper her friend, like Piper says "You can act all tough and destroy the world, but you can't hide who you really are; a lonely girl, who desperately wants a friend". 
Cyclonis appears to be close to her grandmother, a previous Master Cyclonis. In "Five Days", Cyclonis steals a Nil crystal from the Storm Hawks, even leading the raid herself. Cyclonis uses it to fix a crystal which Snipe broke. The crystal generates a hologram of the previous Master Cyclonis with her granddaughter, the current Cyclonis herself. It's apparently one of her treasured possessions because when it was smashed, she was upset in a similar fashion to when Aerrow destroyed the Storm Engine.
== Relationships ==
=== Master Anarchis ===
Master Anarchis is the grandmother of Master Cyclonis and was the Empress of Cyclonia before she died. After losing her parents at an extremely young age, Cyclonis had to be raised by her grandmother who taught her presumably everything she knew as well as instilled in her the ideology of Cyclonia's 'rightful rule over all the Atmos'. It is implied in 'Five Days' that Cyclonis heavily values the memory of her grandmother as she goes to great lengths to retrieve the Nil Crystal from the Storm Hawks after Snipe broke the crystal that held an image of her with her grandmother when she was a child. It can be presumed they were close up until the moment of her death.
=== Dark Ace ===
Cyclonis met the Dark Ace when she was a little girl, after he destroyed the original Storm Hawks and pledged his loyalty to Cyclonia. After years of service and Cyclonis ascending to the throne, the Dark Ace became her right-hand man. He appears to be the only person she trusted above all others. She seems to punish Dark Ace the least for his failure, understanding that most of the blame is on the Storm Hawks.
Their relationship as master and subordinate is what got Cyclonis to choose the Dark Ace as the catalyst for the Power of Binding. But after she opened the doorway to the Far Side of Atmos, their relationship had deteriorated somewhat; with the Dark Ace feeling uneasy about her new plans and weapons, and Cyclonis giving him orders against his favor.
=== Ravess ===
=== Snipe ===
=== Aerrow ===
=== Piper ===
==Weapons==
=== Crystal Staff ===
Master Cyclonis' weapon of choice is her crystal staff which, like Piper's staff, can have any number of effects depending on the crystal currently powering it. Cyclonis is shown to be capable of blocking Aerrow's Lightning Claw attack with her staff. The staff is also shown to be capable of reforming itself after it has been damaged enough to break it into pieces.
=== Crystals ===
In addition, Cyclonis herself can control and generate crystal energy without an intervening device and can transform her weapons crystals during battle. At one point, she is able to stop one of Finn's crystal arrows in midair and fire it back with an additional massive charge. She also uses a red crystal at various points in the series to create energy tendrils to grab her targets. According to Gundstaff, Piper is the only person who rivals Cyclonis in terms of crystal mastery.Payback Also, the Oracle admits that Cyclonis must have great power to have been able to summon her back to the Forbidden City.The Key
