Crimson

## Biography

Known through his numerous encounters with many vessels of the **United Systems Commonwealth**, **Crimson** was the first of the **Ghast Dominion** encountered when he was running an **Illegal Cagefighting Operation** within **Black Eye Dominion** space in **2421**.

Since then, Crimson has continued to make enigmatic appearances to different crews within the Commonwealth, most commonly on the **U.S.S. Normandy (NCC-61944-A)** after taking a liking to **Sky Marshal Leogryn Romeli** in the same way that a master would to their beloved pet. Crimson has proven himself to be duplicitous, untrustworthy and endlessly ambiguous during his appearances.

Seemingly able to alter **reality** at will and appear in any place, at any time, similar to the **The Q Continuum**, Crimson has deliberately helped the Commonwealth on more then one occasion, such as assisting the Normandy in retrieving **Nakaja**, the daughter of Normandy crew member and **Khydallan** Hataxi from the grasp of **The "One"** known as **Aza'lon** during **The Abyss War**.

Despite his blustering and demeanour, resembling that of an outdated **1920's Showboat Salesman**, Crimson has proven that both he and his species are not all powerful on more then one occasion, such as when the escape of the **Spirit of the Abyss** from the **Immortal Prison** in the body of **Aza'lon** caused him to lose all his control over reality and almost die.

In **2421**, Crimson was forced to marry **Black ("Rebecca")**, another Ghast who was designated as **"Princess of the Innerworld"**, the domain which the Ghast seem to originate from, despite enlisting the help of the **U.S.S. Republic** crew to attempt to call off the marriage. This proved unsuccessful when her father, **Amaranth**, one of the **"Three Princes of the Innerworld"** forced the marriage onto Crimson, wanting to pass control of the Innerworld over to both of them.

Since then, Crimson has become the **"Inheritor of the Soul Matrix"**, a vast collection of neural energy collected by willing people at the moment of death that continues to nourish and feed all the Ghast of the Innerworld. Despite his misgivings and wishing to stay a bachelor, Crimson grew to genuinely care for Black over time and even had a son with her, **Indigo**, who has continued to also be a source of annoyance for the **United Commonwealth of Planets** and later **United Systems Commonwealth**.

Despite his playful demeanour and being what some consider to be a **"Demon"** (Even though he personally hates that term), Crimson has shown a fondness for certain individuals in the Commonwealth and is both capable of compassion and empathy when the need arrives, despite always hiding it behind his persona. He has shown himself to be fearful of other, more powerful Ghast such as **Carmine**, actively refusing to help the Normandy crew when they attempted to save the neural energy of **"Snek"**, a **Siqahi** music star that had made a deal with Carmine for fame years earlier.

Due to his abilities to warp reality, he has appeared in many different forms, both realistic and almost cartoony, a testament to his immature and slightly petulant personality, hiding his inner darkness and ethical conflicts from others constantly through sarcastic quips.
