## History

### Early Life

Based on the Coluan Scale of Intelligence, the Dox Dynasty was one of the premier minds of planet Colu– the foremost of these lifeforms being Vril Dox. Vril Dox was the leading scientist on Colu – going forth to contribute many inventions to the intellectually gifted species such as miniaturization technology and limitless force fields. The chief accomplishment of the premier gifted mind of Colu was that of C.O.M.P.T.U – an advanced technological grid that eased the life of all Coluans. C.O.M.P.T.U. was responsible for harvesting all pieces of usable technology and furthering the evolution of the Coluans, all ran by Vril to ensure the survival of his people. The massive advancements made by that of Vril’s artificial extension was defining to the point of finding the fifth dimension… granting him insight to a coming calamity know only as the ‘Multitude’. The Multitude, a weapon that was set on by a construct of the fifth dimension in the appearance of a swarm of angels, ravaged across the third dimensional universe… claiming planet after planet, civilization after civilization.

### Merging Mind and Body with Technology

The number of worlds that were to be targeted by the Multitude were numerous, ranging in the billions across the Milky Way and beyond… included Colu. To try and find ways to save his planet, and thus its civilization, Vril eventually merged his consciousness with C.O.M.P.T.U., his own artificial construct, to better assist him in having full control of Colu without needing to press a button…. His thoughts alone were enough to run subsystems and execute commands. The merging of his organic composition to that of C.O.M.P.T.U. officially brought Vril to the Twelfth Level on the Coluan Scale of Intelligence, making him the definitive, smartest being in the entire galaxy… though what was that title worth if he had no civilization to share it with? Experimentations on his son and wife eventually brought Vril Dox to be imprisoned by Coluan authorities… but the attempts of the world government to halt the computations of Colu’s leading scientist were made in vain.

To safeguard his work, and to ensure the survival of his species against the coming calamity, Vril used his planetarily spread intelligence to conquer the planet in one fell swoop. By this point, Vril’s bonding with his artificial offspring, C.O.M.P.T.U., had made him more machine than organic. Synthesis was never achieved, it was as though the technological superiority of the A.I. had absorbed all the intellect from the corporeal form of the Coluan, making him evolutionarily superior… but losing his spirit. No longer was he bound to a single set of eyes in a single body, Vril was the true embodiment of C.O.M.P.T.U….. he was Brainiac. Drones, databases, technological achievements… each was overseen personally by him – there was no separation any longer. Brainiac was a single strand of code that could duplicate into any program and reconstruct itself if ever physically defeated… but his evolutionary transformation into a piece of artificial intelligence never made him stray from his main goal: to preserve every civilization that was to be wiped out by the Multitude.

### Setting Sights beyond Colu

Using the remaining resources of Colu, Brainiac invested in the construction of a grand armada of spacefaring vessels to assist in the documentation of species for eventual collection – though each starship was dwarfed in comparison to the massive ship that was to house the storage of a galactic collection: the Skull Ship. The Skull Ship was the flagship of Brainiac’s armada; a behemoth in size that could harvest large swathes of land and store them properly… though there were smaller variations of the ship which would bring collected worlds to the larger vessel. It would be the center of C.O.M.P.T.U. from here on out, and the base of operations of Brainiac as he sought to collect each civilization to preserve them eternally…. And to save them from damnation. Brainiac’s first target was that of Colu itself, and the pinnacle of it’s culture: his home city dubbed: ‘The Bottle Planet of Colu’, where his son and wife still reside to this day. The collection of the first city was used through a process of miniaturization of the city, and then storing it in force-fielded containers… a practice that Brainiac would utilize throughout the universe. Many civilizations that have been privy to Brainiac’s exploits, including Krypton, have steered clear of the Skull Ships that scour the universe out of fear of the machine-like efficiency and brutality that Brainiac operates with. The collection of cities, especially the prize jewel Kryptonian city of Kandor, earned him the moniker: **The Collector of Worlds.**
