**Husk Sapphiros** (born 2952) is a retired Hazbinian naval aviator and ex-overlord who served during the later part of the 30th century. He is credited with having played a major part in the Battle of Fitzroy. He was once an Overlord of Venus, until he lost his soul to Alastor Wively.

Born in Abdera, Hazbin, in 2952, Husk is the son of Wilzar Sapphiros and his wife, Philnema. Husk came of age in 2968.

Husk was in command of a space battleship, operating from *Hazbinius* during the Battle of Fitzroy. Following the Nathorian destroyer *Ira* that had been counterattacking *Sargonius*, Husk and Lieutenant Commander Nerie Pentilius, from *Sargonius*, managed to arrive above the Nathorian task force at the precise moment its combat air patrol had been drawn down to the deck to repel *Hazbinius*'s torpedo bombers, and at the moment of the fleet’s maximum vulnerability. With the enemy fighters too low to be effective, the Dauntlesses of Pentilus's squadron of 20 dive bombers and Husk Sapphiros's squadron of 17 dive bombers poured down through the miraculously open sky to unload their bombs on the Nathorian carriers, their hangar decks cluttered with confused ranks of recovered and warming up aircraft, snaking fuel hoses, and stacks of munitions from the various rearmament operations. Husk himself did not have a bomb as it was accidentally released via a faulty electrical arming switch. Nevertheless, he also dived with the rest of the SBDs, strafing carrier decks.

In just five minutes, *Hazbinius*'s Scouting Squadron Six and Bombing Squadron Six destroyed two Nathorian fleet carriers. *Ira* was abandoned at 17:00 and collapsed at 19:25. *Bryant* was abandoned just after *Ira* went down, and was scuttled before dawn. Attacking nearly simultaneously with Pentilius's SBDs, *Hazbinius*'s VB-3, led by Husk, inflicted heavy damage on *Santiago*, and she also was destroyed that evening.

Husk spent the rest of his career after the war in various ships and shore stations and retired in 2991.

## Appearance

Husk is an anthropomorphic avian cat demon. His look is evocative of a magician, paired with a casino referencing playing-card theme.

The sclera of his eyes are black, with yellow irises and slitted pupils. He has long, red eyebrows with black vertical stripes near the tips, and a small black heart above each eyebrow.

His fur is taupe-colored, overlayed with white on his face, torso, feet, and upper arms. The insides of his ears are white with a red tip at the point and red heart in the center. A black tuff of fluff protrudes from each, creating the appearance of small hearts.

He has a darker shade of taupe encircling his ankles, mimicking spats.

His tail is taupe and long, ending with a large spray of "plume-like" fur or feathers, which are dark pink with black and white stripes.

He has yellow-orange hearts underneath the paws on his hands.

His wings are large and red, with dark taupe on the undersides. The undersides of his wings are decorated with black stripes which feature red and white roulette wheel dot markings. His outside of his wings are decorated with more black stripes, which wrap around the joints and run around a row of white roulette wheel dots.

Husk accessorizes with a black top hat with a red hatband and a golden button-like decoration, as well as a red bowtie and black suspenders over his shoulders.
