A-Kul

A-Kul is one of the 10 Luminoth Keybearers in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Both of her cadres were attacked, and she tried to send S-Jrs back for reinforcements, though he did not survive the trip. She was the only one to successfully complete the Keybearer mission, inserting her key into the base of the Sky Temple, the Sky Temple Gateway. Before her death, she stored clues on her nine fallen compatriots within the keyholes they failed to fill in an effort to aid future warriors, in case they should attempt to complete the mission.
Most lore names her as the "Champion of Aether", likely a title given to the mightiest of the Luminoth warriors. Certain Luminoth artifacts, such as the Dark VisorMetroid Prime 2: Echoes; A-Voq: "Our champion wore a visor that pierced the veil of Dark Aether's eternal night. Take it back from the Ing. Let no darkness slow your mighty hand.", Dark Suit and Annihilator BeamMetroid Prime 2: Echoes; O-Lir: "The strongest weapon of our champion is in the hands of the enemy. It fires a blast of light and dark energy, and has no equal. Find it soon!", are stated by the Temple sentinels to have belonged to the Luminoth's champion, implying that these items once belonged to A-Kul, before Samus Aran recovered them and used them against the Ing.

==Trivia==
*A-Kul's corpse initially sits leaning against the pillar where she returned her key. After Samus returns the remaining keys and the pillars lower, the limp body loses its support and falls completely to the ground. When Samus returns to the Sky Temple Gateway for a final time and encounters Dark Samus, the body is strangely absent; Dark Samus may have moved or destroyed it.
