Sauron Yetzar

Sauron as he appears in his Troll Call card.

**Sauron Yetzar** is one of the main characters in Aleph Null (Webomic). He is the closest to a protagonist the comic has.
Sauron is a Lowblood hacker that was hired for Nexus' Sabotage Heist alongside Falmea Luxura, Majell Averos and Cyrusk Belgor.

## Appearance

Sauron is a tall slim man with long legs, waist-length straight black hair tied in a ponytail with short messy bangs at the front and downward pointing rectangular horns. He has glowing dark red eyes with bright red pupils, with dark circles under said eyes. He also possesses distinctively shaped eyebrows, as well as a long pale scar across his throat.
Sauron is wearing a fake black leather jacket, and underneath it a gray long sleeve shirt. Furthermore, he is also wearing skinny black jeans alongside long black laced up boots, fingerless gloves and a black belt with a metal buckle. All of which have some sort of decorative red pattern on them. (Except the long sleeve shirt.)

## Personality

Sauron is a very reserved and rather standoffish person. He is mostly passive, often preferring to stay in the background because his lack of the ability to speak demotivates him from trying to contribute anything to a conversation. He is also nearly constantly anxious, often fidgeting or reaching for a cigarette to calm down. His introverted personality and occasional rude remarks make him appear quite antisocial. The fact that he tends to push away those who try to get close to him, contributes to it.
His exterior however comes from a deep fear of hurting those dear to him, and exists in a rather protective purpose. More privately, Sauron is extremely self-sacrificial towards his friends, to a dangerous degree. He is also more calm and even pretty easy-going, and reveals his quick-witted and rather dry sense of humor.

## Relationships

### Cybele Abedon

Cybele is Sauron's closest friend, and they have an almost sibling-like relationship. They deeply care for each other, and look out for one another. Cybele is very concerned with his wellbeing, as well as looks out for him whenever she can. She gets very worried when she suspects him to have taken drugs, as well as when he was unable to reply to her because his Holo was taken away. He greatly appreciates her company, and remarks that he never wanted anything from her, and she never wanted anything from him. Meaning that the relationship wasn't established out of need for selfish gain from either side. He has a great amount of trust towards her, and even asked her to take care of his apartment while he's gone. He feels bad about having to lie to her in order to keep her safe.

### Majell Averos

Sauron was initially very hostile towards Majell. Quite reasonable, as their relationship had a very rocky start, since Majell nearly threw him off a roof, and gave him a drink spiked with sleeping pills so he was knocked out for neurosurgery against his will. The more they spent time around each other, the more pleasant side of Majell's personality was revealed, and they ended up feeling quite comfortable with each other. Majell also functioned as his translator when needed.

### Cyrusk Belgor

Cyrusk and Sauron got along fairly well since they met, though Sauron does think Cyrusk is a bit odd. He was caught off guard by Cyrusk's ability to read minds, however it did make the communicating between them much easier. They had a moment where they got to know each other a bit better alongside a drink. Cyrusk seems to be the troll partaking in that heist that Sauron is the most comfortable around, as he opened up to him quite a lot for his standards, especially towards a stranger. Cyrusk is quite confident in Sauron's skills, defending him when Helstm was attempting to undermine them during their meeting. He was also the first troll to pick up that something wrong was going on with Sauron during the heist.

### Falmea Luxura

Sauron isn't very fond of Falmea, she made him feel a false sense of security by pretending to be worried about him, which led him to drink the drugged water. She also made him upset by smoking his cigarettes. Sauron himself later on describes her as a "Psychotic rustblood."

### Irecel Haleer

Although not having yet appeared in the comic physically, Irecel's cerulean bubble can be seen on Sauron's phone and later on his laptop in [S] Fast Forward. Irecel Haleer is a cerulean blooded paramedic employed by one of the many hospitals in South Neo-Kansai, and neighbor of Sauron Yetzar in their lowblood hivestem.

## Background

Sauron is a troll with many issues, very notably mental ones that result from lack of access to health care, but also many traumatic events from his past. Not much is currently shown in the comic about his past, aside from being mentioned that he was once a helmsman for a train, until the day he had a psionic backlash accident that nearly fried his brain and depleted his ability to use his psionics, as well as severed the ability to connect to Cyberspace. Sauron has a history of depressive episodes, drug abuse and self harm.

## Abilities

### Psionics

Sauron is able to utilize his psionic powers mainly in order to charge or power electronic devices, such as his laptop. He is also able to use them to pick up things and trolls.

### Hacking and Programming

Sauron is very skilled in hacking and programming, to the point where he is able to warp cyberspace in nearly any way he wants using code. He also wrote a black ICE key in around two weeks, and he's able to hack security cameras on the fly. Sauron programmed a lot of his own software, for example his own VPN (which are illegal and hard to obtain). He's able to move around the darkest parts of Cyberspace undetected because of his programming skills as well.
