Aza'lon

## Biography

Known as *"The Black Goat"* by his followers, Aza'lon is a former member of the Q Continuum and now considered to be one of the most dangerous of the *"Ones"*.

Worshipped by his sect, *The Cult of the Black Goat*, Aza'lon was formally a well respected scientist during the early days of the Q Continuum, renowned for his experiments into the element of Nuridium. At some point, Aza'lon was contained by the Q Continuum and imprisoned in a manner similar to his brethern who reside at the centers of most known galaxies behind a *"Great Barrier"* which amplifies the intense gravitational fields of the *Supermassive Black Holes* in order to serve as an eternal prison for them.

Credited with the discovery of Nuridium isotopes, which almost resulted in the destruction of the Q Continuum, Aza'lon wished to use his powers to establish direct control over the inhabitents of the known universe, believing himself to have achieved a level of purity beyond that of any other known species, even *The First Humanoids* who seeded the universe with humanoid life billions of years beforehand.

For his arrogance, the Q Continuum had no choice but to confine Aza'lon in a specially constructed prison at a point in the *spatial void*, erecting a star system at the very point equidistant between the Milky Way, Andromeda and Triangulum Galaxies, known as the Immortal Prison.

At some point during his isolation, Aza'lon's desire to worshipped intensified, allowing him to reach out with his powerful mind, past small weaknesses in the *"Great Barrier"* , the contact and influence others as far away as the Black Eye Galaxy.

During these visions, everybody envisions him differently and he is always constantly changing, as a result, no definite description of him exists. There is evidence the physical manifestation of Aza'lon in the universe is continuous with a spot in the central region of his prison.

Among his many followers there are Nox-Veredian Empire that practice "obscene rites" that involved "atrocities practiced on still-living victims" in Aza'lon's conical temple, bringing the temple across the universe with them. It was believed until recently by the United Commonwealth of Planets that the *"Cult of the Black Goat"* were actually worshippers of The Old Ones, however that has recently become clear.

## Embodiment of the Abyss

In November 2451, Aza'lon succeeded in using *Nakaja* and a few mutated members of the Vectis Planetary Navy to release himself from the Immortal Prison.

Although he was originally a member of The Q Continuum, his confinement revealed that he had also been *"melded"* with another cosmic entity that the Q were not aware of, one far older and could date back to the creation of the universe itself.

He attempted to possess *Nakaja* but found himself unable to following steps taken by U.S.S. Normandy (NCC-61944-A) Chief Science Officer and Nakaja's mother, *Hataxi* who was aware of Aza'lon's desire to inhabit the body of her daughter.

He then sought about mutating the rest of the Vectis Planetary Navy into the Avalid Empire in order to do his bidding, his desire for chaos replaced by a longing to return the universe to the *"purity of order"* that it had once been before the *Big Bang*.
