-Kyborg of Evirwinter

The nemesis of Kydelius of Evirwinter, Quadron is the leader of the Quadron Squadron, and is the main antagonist of Arc 5: *Armageddon*.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Quadron is depicted as a four-armed construct with a iron-plating covering all the cyborg parts of his body. Each of his arms are depicted as distinct, with artwork depicting him as having gelatinous and rock-like arms on his left side, and with eel-like and a segmented arm with a duo-headed double-bladed scimitar on the right side.

In the past, Quadron had 4 mechanical eyes, with one of them being shot out by Kyborg. When encountered in the Flats of Tabul, Quadron is described again as having 4 mechanical eyes, with one of these eyes being revealed to be a diagem.

When defeated in Tabul, Quadron’s plating falls off, revealing him to be a Tabulian, a scaly serpentine with wings and no arms of his own.

### **Personality**

Quadron is portrayed to have a sadistic and power-hungry cyborg that has an obsession with collecting arms from his victims.

## **Biography**

### Attack on the Evirwinter Woods

During Kyborg’s childhood, Quadron and the Quadron Squadron led an attack on Kyborg’s childhood village to find a map holding the location of a diagem, protected by Kyborg’s mother, Kristallenna of Evirwinter. This attack resulted in the deaths of Kyborg’s family and the rest of the village’s inhabitants. After Kristallenna’s death, Quadron obtained the map’s information and burned the map to hide its secrets from others seeking the diagem’s power. While he was distracted reading the map, Kyborg took a shot with his mother’s longbow and shot one of Quadron’s mechanical eyes out. Quadron retaliated by pinning Kyborg to the ground and sliced Kyborg’s right arm off, taking it with him as he left Kyborg’s village in ruins.

### Assassination Attempt on Kyborg and Ambush Attempt

After the Infinight Interns returned to Boulderay from their harrowing battle with Paralyte and the Everguards, Kyborg and Mudd visited Boulderay Highschool, running into graduates, Hardy and Sophie, while trying to speak with mayoral candidate, Lewis. While talking to Lewis, a Squadrone steps forward and announces to Kyborg, “Quadron sends his greetings” and proceeds to explode. This assassination attempt is foiled, however, by Meld Manner, who saves the duo and proceeds to explain her current situation since their last encounter in Urbloom. After explaining her time-venturing expeditions to find her mother, Meld revealed the existence of the Tetragogues, a fourfold axis of evil that conquered Faesa and rid the world of magic under the leadership of Entropa, revealing Quadron to be a part of said group. Meld revealed how in the future she visited, Kyborg was killed by the attempted assassin and his body parts were collected by Quadron and reassembled into a reconstructed version of himself, named Kydron, that would only serve Quadron.

After revealing this information to the fully assembled group, Meld suggested the the Temple of Dia to speak to Pastor Oshen to see if they could uncover any information on the identity of the Tetragogues and see if he could shed any information on the location of her mother. As they entered the temple (with Kyborg kicking down the door and somersaulting in), the group was ambushed by a group of Squadrones who attempted to defeat the party. After defeating this squadron of Squadrones, the group learned of the history of Faesa and the passed down history of the diagems from Father Oshen.

### Cult of M’ra

After reliving Kyborg’s memories and solving the puzzles of the monolith in the Evirwinter Woods, the party now in possession of one of the diagems, set off to Pyous Pass to find a guide for the Flats of Tabul in Winder Canyon. After arriving, the group learns of the town’s residents by Tabulians from Sheriff Guv, and soon captures two Tabulians who mention artifacts they’re looking for, as well as mentioning in Draconic, the name M’ra. After extracting a flaming poison from Mudd, the Tabulians sprout appendages and grow in size, and before leaving, they mention returning to their home of Tetora, as well as giving guidance as to how to get to the Flats of Tabul. After the trek to the Flats, the Infinights enter the Tabulian lair and rush to rescue the Pye prisoners from their captors, the disguised Quadron (under the title of M’ra) and his Squadrones. As M’ra, Quadron has been using the Tabulians to capture and cut off the arms of their prisoners, stating that they have been communicating with “the Great Cloud”, and giving the Tabulians arms using the power of a diagem in order to take back their homeland of Tetora.

After a long and arduous battle against Kyborg and the Infinites (as well as a mini anarchy of Tabulians thanks to Gum Gum and Mudd), Quadron is defeated by Kyborg and pummeled by the sudden appearance of Smarsh; however, a surprise appearance of Entropa ends in the loss of the diagem as well as leaving ambiguity to Quadron’s fate for now.

### Quadron’s Return and Final Clash

After the Infinights’ encounter with a possessed Brink Tussler and the Anarx, the party engages into a battle with the Tetragogues: Slujj, Inku, and Quadron. During this intense battle, Kyborg clashes with Quadron once again, with many burns thrown from both sides. Mudd engages in the clash by dropping a flurry of fey cows onto Quadron, completely obliterating him before trapping him by using a Briar Orb.
