Etallo Werefore (U-75)

Etallo Werefore is a scientist and researcher who finds himself as the sole humanoid inhabitant of his version of Arcarea. Having devoted his life to scientific pursuits and seeking to resolve conflicts, Etallo reaches a profound realization that conflict is an inherent part of life's existence. This realization leads him to develop various plans with the intention of ending life on the planet.

## Character

Etallo's formidable presence is marked by his towering stature and broad shoulders, which exude strength and authority. His visage demands attention with an elongated face that is further accentuated by the striking prominence of his aquiline nose. Time has cast its transformative touch upon his once brown locks, bestowing upon them a graceful and dignified shade of gray. Particularly eye-catching are the sections of hair on his temples, where strands of an even lighter hue intermingle, creating an intricate tapestry of tones.

A testament to his maturity and wisdom, Etallo proudly sports a thick and well-groomed beard. However, it is around his mouth where the true mark of time becomes evident, as the once vibrant tresses have transformed into a striking tapestry of silver and ash gray. His countenance, already striking, bears a notable absence—the left eye, forever lost to a past confrontation that left its indelible mark. A massive scar, etched across the socket where his eye once resided, serves as a constant reminder of the fierce battle he waged against the Defenders.

But it is not merely his physical appearance that sets this incarnation of Etallo apart. His radicalism and extremism surpass those of his counterparts, fueled by unyielding convictions that compel him to commit any atrocity he deems necessary for the sake of the greater good. His moral compass, though anchored in what he believes to be righteous intentions, steers him to dark and treacherous depths. Etallo's demeanor exudes an aura of harshness and authority, a reflection of the burdens he carries from extinguishing countless lives in the pursuit of his ideals. In the pantheon of the Four Founders, his presence looms as a stark reminder of the complexities of the human condition and the unfathomable lengths some may go to reshape the world.

## History

### Background

Etallo came into the world in the illustrious city of Kasserstadt during the second year of the Fourth Era. Even in his early years, it was evident that his intellectual prowess was extraordinary, leading to his selection to enter the esteemed Royal Sciences Academy. There, he immersed himself in a diverse range of disciplines, eventually earning degrees in physics, mathematics, and political science. Driven by a fervent desire for peace, this particular iteration of Etallo embarked on a path as a prominent public figure, disseminating his insights through the publication of numerous thought-provoking essays and books that challenged the prevailing notion of war. Yet, as time went on, he gradually became disillusioned, recognizing the sobering reality that plagued the world: "As long as there is people, there will be conflict, there will be chaos."

Harnessing his vast scientific knowledge and assisted by the unparalleled sorcerer Wolfram Strauss, known as the supreme blood mage, Etallo embarked on a perilous endeavor. Together, they devised a series of lethal artifacts designed to bring about cataclysmic destruction upon detonation, leading to the demise of a significant portion of the planet's population. However, their devastating power proved insufficient against the resilient forces of the most formidable creatures, who, unscathed by the cataclysm, turned their attention towards hunting down Etallo.

Undeterred by the impending conflict, Etallo stood resolute, armed with a meticulously crafted suit of armor fashioned by the skilled hands of Samuel Smith. This formidable armor incorporated select elements derived from Lazar Zakharov's Enhancer System, bestowing upon Etallo a heightened resilience and enhanced capabilities. Moreover, he possessed three coveted artifacts: the Material Ring, the Mental Ring, and the Space Ring. These precious possessions, obtained through ruthless acts of assassination, claimed the lives of Lazar Zakharov, Wilhelm Luther, and Franz Volkert, respectively.

Etallo's journey unfolded in a web of complexity, where his ideals clashed with the harsh realities of the world. As he ventured forth, an aura of both awe and apprehension surrounded him, for he was a figure who had transcended the boundaries of conventional morality in pursuit of his vision for a transformed future.

### Battle against the Wardens

After a couple of tension-filled days, the Defenders materialized at his very doorstep, their presence a harbinger of imminent conflict. With a deft motion of the Mental Ring adorning his finger, Etallo swiftly employed his formidable mental abilities to neutralize Caesar Fehr, reducing the once formidable warrior to a state of helpless catatonia. Simultaneously, Wolfram Strauss effortlessly unleashed the full force of his blood magic upon Elsabeth Wölfin, causing her heart to erupt in a fatal explosion. Edward Chronos, in a desperate attempt to turn back time, found himself swiftly incapacitated by Etallo's calculated intervention. Condemned to a pocket dimension, ensnared by the manipulative might of the Space Ring, Edward was rendered utterly impotent.

Harnessing the potent capabilities of the Enhancer System, Etallo embarked on a meticulous alteration of Leonhardt's Rehf'mu Mask, each modification reducing its size until it strained against the sorcerer's very skull, ultimately causing it to shatter under the immense pressure. The unleashed malevolence of Usus and Uara, unleashed upon Constantine, ensnared him in their ethereal grip, dragging him relentlessly into the unfathomable Depths of Existence, sealing his fate. In a ruthless display of dominance, Etallo claimed Elsabeth's Soul Ring, Constantine's Void Ring and Edward's Time Ring; and in an audacious act of symbiotic convergence, he channeled their combined energies to instantaneously absorb Wolfram's soul, extinguishing his life force in an instant. Adorning himself with Wolfram's Blood Cape, a chilling symbol of his vanquished foe, Etallo set forth on a grim hunt, methodically eliminating the remaining survivors until he stood alone as the sole survivor of the harrowing confrontation.

Years later, this particular iteration of Etallo would find himself sought out by counterparts from both Universe 2 and Universe 9, both bearing the name Etallo. They extended to him an extraordinary proposition, an invitation to partake in the creation of the illustrious Interdimensional Werefore Council. With unwavering resolve, Etallo accepted this momentous opportunity, assuming the mantle of a founding member. Guided by his unwavering principles, this Etallo ardently advocated for the inclusion of only the most formidable Etallos within the Council's esteemed ranks. Ideally, these individuals would have already confronted and triumphed over dire threats within their respective dimensions, their strength and prowess undeniable testaments to their suitability for this prestigious assembly.
