Zenzil

A
former Magnificentus who was responsible for the Plaguespreader Virus, and is a
member of the Apex Dozen.

## **History**

Zenzil,
like his compatriots M'Gilrma and Fechus, was once a Magnificentus. He was in charge of
designing benign bacteria which would fuel much of the biological processes of
the universe, but he saw a deranged beauty in the way in which hostile bacteria
would destroy and conquer the body of a living organism over time, and decided
to create the first plague instead. This plague went out of control and killed
a thousand Magnificentus before he was locked away and the plague eradicated.
When the Demonkin invaded
the universe, Zenzil was released and he allowed the plague to spread once
more, cutting a swathe into the Magnificentus’ numbers that were available to
tackle the threat. When the Divine Council used their remaining powers to
defeat the Demonkin and evict him from their reality, Zenzil lost his abilities
and was exiled from the Magnificentus. He hibernated beneath the surface of
Nakonn with his brothers, Fechus and M'Gilrma.

He was awakened by the disturbance caused by Tyranis'
attempted conquest of the Imperian Confederacy, and Zenzil used his knowledge
of the most dangerous toxins and total domination over poisonous substances to
devise a plague which would target Makori and them alone. He then devised a
similar plague which would target Diabolith, with a 99% fatality rate. Before
he could release them both in order to begin his plan to rule the known
universe, Tyranis was defeated and the Diabolith almost entirely wiped out
anyway, with the few surviving members being far too potent and strong to be
affected severely by his plague. In a rage, he stormed Misorake, home world of
the Misorus war spiders, and made two species of Misorus extinct to heavily
upset the food chain in that region of Imperian Confederacy space, resulting in
the deaths of thousands of Makori.

Like his brothers, he was soon contacted by Tyranis
and convinced to join him in his goal of becoming a Master of the Multiverse,
with the promise that once Tyranis ascended, he would give the three brothers
their position as a Magnificentus back. Zenzil was delighted at the prospect of
being able to make even more potent and destructive plagues, and quickly joined
him. He was not known to have made significant contributions to the Apex
Dozen's cause besides one, immense 'achievement'-a modification of the Makori
virus to target Erthus and Kilaro along with assistance from some of his fellow
Dozen. This virus was responsible for the death of approximately one billion Erthus,
Makori, and Kilaro, and resulted in a colossal shift in the focuses of the Imperian
Confederacy. He has since gone back to work devising another plague with even
more potent capabilities.

## **Tools and Abilities**

As a Magnificentus, Zenzil had the ability to
create any given micro-organism or collection of them with any given purpose he
had in mind. He could, technically, have created bacteria which granted
immortality via cellular regeneration, but he instead liked using his powers
for more lethal purposes. When he lost his status as a Great Being, his powers
were greatly diminished, although he still possessed the knowledge and
expertise to breed small amounts of a given bacteria over long periods of time
and accelerate their evolution, which after many centuries work allowed him to
create some similar (although smaller scale) marvels.

As Diabolith, he wore an enchanted helm which
allowed him to infect any one individual with a special plague which would
cripple them in minutes. This helm also gave the wearer complete immunity to
disease and any kind of bacteria. He wielded the Axe of Virulence, a special
relic made by him which was imbued with similar abilities his helmet, although
it would inflict anyone who touched it (besides himself and some other powerful
beings) with an incurable disease which would kill them within days.

## **Personality**

Zenzil was a dark personality, holding a deep
disregard and disgust for all biological life. He had great respect for bacteria,
and did not consider it on the same level as he believed it to be the simplest
and most perfect form of life. He despised the natural processes of living
things and designed to eradicate all life to alleviate his disgust. It is
unknown whether this disgust is of himself or not, but as he has displayed
little in the way of biological consistency that other beings have, he is
believed to have altered himself in some way to remove that aspect of his
being.
