**Horus** is the main antagonist of the *Lightning SMP*.

He serves as the unseen overarching antagonist of the Vault Arc, the main antagonist of the Taiga Arc, one of the two overarching antagonists of the Liberal Arc (along with Zillius), and the overarching antagonist of the ongoing Indigo Arc.

He is voiced by Zillius123.

## Appearance

### Alive Form

Horus' alive form hasn't been seen or described thoroughly yet, the only description comes from ancient murals that described Horus as "a king with six eyes and seven tongues, ghostly skin, a voice of a thousand locusts with hands capable of slicing a man in half". SERVER stated that Horus has the ability to alter his size unlike other Reptillius who stay the same size like Zillius, which might explain why the fossilized skull of his alive form is gigantic.

Within the ruins of the Temple of Hormlash, there consists of various murals depicting Horus. One of them depicts Horus as a humanoid in black armor with bat-like wings emerging from the darkness, another mural depicts Horus as a titanic snake devouring several deities.

### Spirit Form

As a spirit, Horus can change his appearance into whatever he wants. However, his most prominent spirit form is that of a tall humanoid similar to Zillius with purple eyes, he sports a black and indigo suit, he has charcoal skin and has a smile that resembles that of a scarecrow's. He sometimes wears a crown identical to Zillius' but colored grey and with an amethyst replacing the ruby. His lower body is replaced with a tail-like shadow that can extend and grab objects.

Horus has other forms such as a giant purple disembodied eye that stares eerily and a swirl of dark gas.

### Dream Form

Within the dreams of his victims, Horus can warp the dream and take any appearance he wishes. When he tormented Zillius, Horus took the appearance of an inverted-color Zillius with indigo and lime king's robe, purple eyes and a violet crown, Horus also added bloodstains to this form's robe in order to remind Zillius of his true self. In Aikkop's dream, Horus manifests as his usual spirit form but with his lower body instead of his tail-like shadow.

## Personality

Down came the lightning that paralyzed his life
Out came the sun that dried up all the blood
The itsy bitsy v0xy is now a lifeless crud (chuckles)

Horus comes off as a charismatic and sophisticated person, having a well-mannered persona. At first glance, Horus is a polite and charming individual, bathing others in compliments, however this is all a way to manipulate others into his bidding. In actuality, Horus is extremely sadistic and cruel, having a twisted sense of mannerism shown when Aikkop attempted to break a part of his skull, stating that it is impolite for her to touch that before summoning a blob of crying obsidian to encapsulate Aikkop. Horus takes pleasure in torturing those who gets in his way, both physically and psychologically, stating that by torturing would force them to get out of his way, leaving them out of harm's way. Horus has no remorse over his actions and truly believes what he is doing is right. Horus seems to show little to no anger even if his plans fail, maintaining a collected and charismatic personality.

Horus has proven to be incredibly calculative and cunning, targeting his enemies' loved ones in order to gain leverage and influencing cults into following his twisted plans. He is loyal to his minions and cares about them, he treats them as if they were his own offspring. Horus takes any opportunity to attempt to corrupt and manipulate his enemies so they won't get in his way, he also almost always has a backup plan should his main plans fail, making him steps ahead of his enemies.

## History

### The Beginning

Horus belonged to an ancient race of humanoid reptiles called the Reptillius. Horus was born to a Reptillius known as Osiris and an unnamed mother, he had a brother named Sobek who would be Zillius' grandfather. Horus was abused and incriminated by almost everyone he knows as he was considered “different” by them, he was treated differently than the others and was subjected to loneliness and physical abuse (by his father) every day for several millennia while his brother was loved and adored by them, driving him insane and lonely. Overtime, he began practicing dark magic and taught himself how to extinguish all light sources within a close range. Horus began to distance himself from everyone and shunned them out from his life to travel across the world and see how it truly works, as time went on, Horus witnessed many civilizations become corrupt, abusing and enslaving the lesser beings, and laying waste towards nature, Horus was disgusted by this, he believed that the entire world would never change and millions will suffer a fate he is very familiar with. Horus would travel to a distant ancient city and looked around, the city was indeed corrupt, the evident being a high amount of poor suffering from starvation and homelessness while the superiors live in luxury in their palaces, Horus decided to take matters into his own hands and commits genocide on the superiors of the city, he would then bring the starving people of the city a new home in his infant kingdom. He then decided to target his own kind and family as revenge and paranoia as he believed his entire family was as corrupt as his father, Horus caused the entire Reptillius race and other species to almost go extinct.

Horus would eventually meet Arius and fell in love with her, Arius too fell in love with Horus and the two went on a date. Arius was charmed by Horus’ personality and deceived by him in order to make sure she doesn’t know of Horus being a tyrannical warlord using unholy things like necromancy. At some point, Arius figured out what Horus has been doing all this time and planned to confront him but Horus broke up with her and disappeared. Arius was then heartbroken and vowed to bring Horus into Limbo so she can torment him for all eternity for what he has done.

Horus then met Dagon and the two became close friends. Horus later discovered deities stronger than him, Horus initially tried to respect and politely greet them, however the deities mocked him and called him "weak". This angered Horus, he decided to behead and violently murder each one of them when they were alone. Horus then drew power from the fallen deities and became an unstoppable force that even civilizations from the End and Nether are aware of. Horus, now with immense amount of power, can now see how imperfect the three dimensions are and enacts a goal on conquering and rebuilding the three dimensions. Horus at some point came into contact with an ancient Nether being named Moltar, the two initially became allies before Horus discovered Moltar was merely trying to obtain Horus' vast powers. After finding out, Horus didn't hesitate to rip Moltar apart piece by piece before turning Moltar's remains into gold, Horus now began his hegemony and influenced several non-human cults to bow down to him (one of them in particular being the Void Screamers). Horus brought a new age across dimensions and began conquering kingdoms and continents, thousands of deities were slaughtered by Horus’ hands and civilizations started to go extinct.

Horus initiated the Great Deity Genocide and hunted down every single deity and god across the three dimensions, giving them a choice whether to surrender and join Horus’ crusade or perish. During the genocide, Horus singlehandedly burned down seven divine pantheons and slaughtered several others such as the Shinto deities Raijin and Fujin.

A few centuries following the massive extinction event, Horus conjured a reanimating spell across the Overworld and the Nether, bringing rise to undead mobs. Horus found the phantoms to be his most favorite creatures and watched as they gain the ability to grow in size as they feed on insomnia. Horus' reign of terror came to an end when an enigmatic deity known as SERVER confronted the dark god with the Elemental Swords, Horus didn't underestimate SERVER as he knew how powerful the Elemental Swords were before the two engage in a battle. The two sides proved equally matched until SERVER combined the Elemental Swords together before decimating Horus' body, only his head was left intact. Horus, not wanting to face Arius, decided to use his necromancy powers to revive him as a spirit. SERVER started to eliminate everything Horus has built to restore everything to how it was supposed to be, Horus watched in the shadows as SERVER ended his hegemony. Horus' skull was buried in the sand so no one must know about the horrors of the past, despite that Horus came in contact with other spirits and decided to forge an alliance with them. Horus would wait until what remains of those who bow down to him find a way to revive him, Horus would watch and observe the formation of the Lightning SMP.

### Events of the *Lightning SMP*

#### Taiga Arc

Horus made a cameo in the first chapter of the Taiga Arc, "A New Era". As the narrator introduces new characters to the SMP, a figure is seen on top of New Honduras' mountain watching over v0yx. It was speculated that this figure is a Void Screamer, though the series creator confirmed that it was indeed Horus.

Horus made a proper appearance in "Seductive Deal". During the middle of the chapter, a cryptic whisper was heard by v0yx which made him panic and forced him to hide in his bunker. The whisper became clearer and politely told v0yx to come to Stonehattan, v0yx was hesitant but he shook it off and decided to head to Stonehattan. As v0yx arrived, he noticed that everyone there was gone, he remembered that they were going on a trip that v0yx wasn't invited to. Dark clouds began to cover the sky of Stonehattan, effectively blocking out the light from the sun, v0yx looked up and saw lightning bolts beginning to culminate in the air before a purple astral projection manifested itself. The projection faced v0yx and greeted him, it announced that it was a being called Horus, stating it lost something valuable and has been searching for it ever since.

v0yx, due to not knowing of Horus' mythology, was susceptible of Horus' charisma and persuasion, Horus attempted to manipulate v0yx into helping the latter obtain the elemental swords and kill v0yx's friends. v0yx was shocked and tried to argue that he couldn't kill his friends but Horus kept saying it is the only way and tried to antagonize v0yx's friends to convince the latter. In the end, v0yx hold his ground and told Horus to never bother the SMP ever again, Horus then disappeared and plotted to kill v0yx to teach him a lesson.

In "We're Not Alone", Horus was discussed by Aikkop and v0yx when v0yx visited Aikkop at her hobbit hole. The two discussed that Horus will cause massive chaos to befell over the SMP, Aikkop then suggested v0yx to stay low and not to wander alone and too far. Horus is seen in the end grinning behind a birch tree stalking the two.

Horus later appeared in "Bleeding Ice", he stalked v0yx and caused a thunderstorm to make it harder for v0yx to mine packed ice. Horus then whispered to v0yx, telling him to look up, v0yx did and saw a bright flash of light. v0yx was struck by lightning and his items were dropped on the icy floor, some of them burned from the fire caused by the lightning. Horus manifested and descended to gather v0yx's items, Horus laughed and rhymed a twisted version of the Itsy Bitsy Spider nursery rhyme to mock v0yx's death, Horus then stated he was disappointed at how weak v0yx is before proclaiming to torture v0yx until his last canon life, Horus then proceeded to teleported away.

Horus returned in "Into the Dune", he was discussed by Aikkop, Inmos and Zillius. The trio talked on what way they could avenge v0yx's first death and defeat Horus, Inmos stated his own powers are inferior to Horus' and there's no way of overpowering the dark god, Zillius however proposed the idea of somehow restraining Horus to his skull. Aikkop agreed and Inmos did too but stated he needs time to find a way to restrain Horus, the three then went their own ways to prepare for their confrontation against Horus.

As Zillius began travelling to the desert that the burial is located, a Void Screamer went up behind him and knocked him out in the back of the head. Horus then proceeded to intercept Zillius' mind in order to infect him. Aikkop then arrived at the burial and was ready to confront Horus before he manifested on top of his skull, the two had a tense stare before Aikkop grabbed her pickaxe and proceeded to swing it at the bottom-left part of the skull, to no avail. Aikkop was confused before Horus asked if she knows about manners before summoning crying obsidian to encase Aikkop. Horus then tortured Aikkop by forcing her to hear disembodied screams and illusions of her friends leaving and fire. It came to an end when Inmos entered the digsite and helped Aikkop break free from the crying obsidian, Inmos and Aikkop faced Horus before devising a plan to stop the dark god. Inmos directly fought Horus despite being weaker while Aikkop was given exorcist lanterns that she needs to place around the burial to entrap Horus. The fight was long but Inmos and Aikkop emerged victorious, in the fight's last moments Horus conjured a spear composed of withering particles and threw it at Inmos, severely injuring the latter. As Inmos and Aikkop left the burial, Horus ragefully roared in defeat.

Horus was mentioned by the narrator in "It's Not Over", the narrator states there are secrets best left hidden as when uncovered, they could threaten our existence itself. Horus then appeared during the end of the chapter, as the camera enters the burial and pans to Horus' skull, an exorcist lantern broke. Horus then manifested though seemingly unable to exit his skull, he then talked to the camera and says what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger before cackling maniacally until the camera fades black.

#### Liberal Arc

In "Empty Promises", Horus was indirectly mentioned by Zillius while he was building the castle of Athena Kingdom. Horus was later mentioned again by Aikkop when she visited Distortion. Horus, by proxy, is the reason v0yx is in debt with Stonehattan as he framed v0yx for ruining Stonehattan's farms.

In "Banishments", v0yx suddenly felt a sharp sting in his head and went into New Honduras' bunker, the reason for this is unknown but it is possible Horus is using his mind powers to continuously torment v0yx. Later, v0yx contacts SERVER and asks the latter about Horus, SERVER then explains the tyranny of Horus. As SERVER explained to v0yx, a flashback depicts Horus as a figure encompassed in shadow with purple eyes engaged in battle with two deities. In the flashback, Horus quite easily overpowers the two deities and obliterates the two.

In "Revelated Science", Horus appears watching Distortion through the eyes of a Void Screamer. Horus says that Distortion could be useful in the future but later doubts that the latter wouldn't be weak like v0yx. Horus' cave murals were seen when Distortion investigates the Temple of Hormlash, it depicts Horus emerging from the darkness below.

In the arc finale "Bargaining Peace", as the chapter comes to an end, the camera gives glimpses of Horus' burial. As the camera suddenly stops transitioning and stays still in front of Horus' skull, two exorcist lanterns broke simultaneously, leaving behind a few left before the camera goes black.

#### Indigo Arc

##### Fleeting Horizons

Horus is mainly the cause of the tragic events in "Nothing Lasts Forever". It was revealed that Horus' withering spear that pierced Inmos slowly killed the Flint God. When Inmos told Zillius that he was dying, Zillius was enraged and promised to find a cure for Inmos, however Inmos stated that nothing can cure him and it is only a matter of time before death takes him, the two then tearfully argued whether Inmos should die or not before Zillius cried that Inmos was the closest thing Zillius has to a father. This surprised Inmos before he teleported himself and Zillius on top of a cliff overlooking a sunset, Inmos then stated that Zillius would be fine without him

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Nigh-Omnipotence:** Horus is considered one of the most powerful entities in the Lightning SMP universe, almost capable of defeating SERVER even with the Elemental Swords. Horus possesses nearly omnipotent levels of primordial and dark magic, wielding power that could easily decimate the End Islands and erase other powerful beings such as the Wither and the Ender Dragon. As of now, Horus is severely weakened when SERVER killed him however he still retains some of his powers as a spirit.
	+ **Electrokinesis**: Horus is capable of summoning bolts of lightning to attack his enemies, these lightning bolts are capable of burning down a forest and crippling a human wearing iron armor. Horus can alter the frequency of the bolts and can also use them as a way of disorienting his enemies.
		- **Electric Beam Emission**: In a flashback in "Banishments", Horus, when he was alive, fired a beam of concentrated purple and violet electricity from his hand towards two deities. This beam easily decimated the two deities and left nothing but ashes in their place.
	+ **Weather Manipulation**: Horus can manipulate the current weather and change it into whatever he wants, he can easily cast a thunderstorm with a snap of a finger. These thunderstorms are widespread and stretch dozens of miles long.
	+ **Intangibility**: Horus, due to now being a spirit, is intangible and can phase through any solid surface with ease. He is capable of phasing through swords, axes, arrows and fireworks, making him invincible to any form of physical attacks, Horus can perform selective intangibility which allows the dark god to physically touch others while they can't touch him. However, he is unable to phase through exorcistic magic and is harmed by it, objects imbued with exorcistic magic are capable of restraining Horus and keeping him in place. As shown when Inmos created the Exorcist Lanterns to serve as nullifiers to Horus.
	+ **Withering Spear Construction**: Horus can create a spear composed of withering clouds that are capable of piercing through a deity. Horus used this against Inmos when the latter fought him, piercing through Inmos' chest and inflicting a withering effect that slowly decays Inmos from the inside until the latter’s imminent death.
	+ **Telekinesis**: During the burial fight in “Into the Dune”, Horus lift up several pillars of sandstone before sending them towards Inmos. Horus attempted to stop Aikkop from putting down the exorcist lanterns by telekinetically dragging her towards him but was stopped by Inmos.
	+ **Technopathy**: Horus is capable of sending messages to "chat" (which is a small phone-like device in the SMP Universe). He can also disrupt chat and make it unusable in a specific radius.
	+ **Darkness Manipulation**: Horus masters in umbrakinesis, he is able to destroy and extinguish most light sources within a 120 meter radius. He is capable of inflicting the blindness effect to distract his enemies, Horus can see perfectly well in the dark, though this could be perhaps he has adapted to the dark or naturally has night vision, he is capable of seeing invisibility particles in pitch black. Horus has not shown the full potential of his umbrakinesis, however.
		- **Umbrakinetic Constructs**: Horus can manipulate the darkness and solidify it to create various constructs, he is able to construct enchanted weapons and armors for his followers. Horus can make crying obsidian out of darkness to immobilize his enemies. Horus is theorized to be the cause of various stalagmites composed of crying obsidians to manifest in the Nether. In “Into the Dune”, Horus transformed his arm into a large shadow tentacle to slam Inmos to the wall of the burial.
	+ **Immortality**: As a Pure Reptillius (unlike Zillius who is half human), Horus was impervious to aging and diseases and can only be killed by manual means. After being killed and turned into a spirit, Horus is now completely immortal and can't be send to Limbo easily. Currently, there is no way to send Horus to Limbo where all deceased individuals are supposed to go.
	+ **Transmutation**: As implied by the Paladin, Horus gave the latter the “perfect body” (his Enderman body) in order for the messenger to be stronger than the rest of his kind.
	+ **Advanced Necromancy**: Horus is the most powerful necromancer in the world and is capable of raising the dead back to life just to inflict chaos and terror. Horus is also capable of saving himself from being sent to Limbo and unlike most spirits who return to the Living Realm due to unfinished business, Horus is different and is fully himself thus making him far more powerful than regular spirits. However, as a spirit, he can no longer use necromancy unless he is revived by an outside force.
		- **Reanimation**: Horus can utilize his necromancy knowledge and bring back deceased creatures to the living realm. The undead creatures that Horus summons lack the original souls they once have and are only mindless pawns that attack any human that comes in their way. During his reign, he casted a reanimation spell throughout the Overworld and the Nether.
		- **Soul Absorption**: Horus, both alive and dead, can absorb soul energy from living creatures, spirits and soul fire. Horus typically uses this ability to enhance his capabilities but is mentioned to sometimes absorb souls just for his own pleasure. Zillius also possesses this ability but to a lesser extent, suggesting that any Reptillius can absorb soul energy.
	+ **Mind Manipulation**: Quite possibly Horus' most deadliest abilities, Horus uses this ability in order to tear apart his enemies minds. Horus can enter the minds of others and twist it to cause psychological pain to his victims. Once a victim is vulnerable enough, Horus can infect their minds and make them obey him. Should a victim be infected by Horus, their eyes will turn into a shade of purple and become more aggressive, a person with strong enough willpower can somewhat halt the infection as shown by Zillius, who's left eye is a shade of purple while the right is still normal. Despite that, Zillius suffers from nightmares and immense psychological pain from time to time and sometimes develops an unusual bloodlust that is not shown before by Zillius.
		- **Dream Manipulation**: Horus can enter the dreams of others and manipulate the dreams into nightmares. Akin to Freddy Krueger, Horus can manipulate the dream world into anything he wishes, Horus however cannot kill them in their dreams nor he can restrict them into their dreams. This ability is usually used to slowly reduce the sanity of his victims to the point where they go completely insane.
		- **Hallucination Inducement**: Horus is able to cause hallucinations as a way to confuse his enemies or to mentally torture them, Horus was capable of conjuring disembodied voices and illusions of fire and lava to torture Aikkop.
		- **Telepathy**: Horus is capable of seeing into the minds of individuals and find their darkest secrets, he uses this ability to exploit their fears and render them vulnerable. Horus can also telepathically speak to others. Horus is able to make his victims remember memories that their minds have sealed away in order to torture them. This ability seemingly has no limit and is still capable of being used even after being restrained.
		- **Hive Mind**: Horus can see the world through the eyes of the Void Screamers, while still being restrained. This ability is similar to Telepathy and also has no limit.
	+ **Teleportation**: Despite Horus' ability to effortlessly fly around and phase through solid surfaces, He prefers the use of teleportation as a way to navigating. Horus seemingly almost has no limit to how far he can teleport as he can teleport to v0yx and maim him despite the human being thousands of blocks away from Horus' skull. Horus cannot teleport across dimensions and therefore must use a portal to travel between dimensions.

### Abilities

* **Authority**: Horus holds absolute dominion over the Void Screamers and numerous other cults, with dozens of members ready to do what he orders. Horus is also the de-facto leader of the Spirits of Hormlash, all the members respect Horus and consider him their generous lord. Horus also holds authority over undead mobs, despite them being simple-minded Horus can control them to do his dirty work.
* **Genius-Level Intellect**: Horus is incredibly intelligent, he primarily uses his mind instead of brute strength. Horus is a exceptional learner, able to memorize and master various types of magic. During the start of his genocide campaign, Horus was able to locate his family, including his father, and end them. After falling in love with Arius, Horus deceived her with his charm in order to cease the risk of her finding out Horus’ crusade. When Arius figured out his plans, Horus broke up with her and disappeared without leaving a trace behind.
* **Manipulation**: Horus utilizes his debonair and charismatic personality to fool others into making deals with him. Horus can come off as a sympathetic person who pities others while in reality he only wants to take advantage of them. Horus likes to peer into one's mind and find their deepest desire to exploit them, Horus also deceives other into thinking he is powerless only revealing his true powers when it's too late.
* **Intimidation**: One of Horus' most utilized traits is striking fear into his enemies, Horus is well aware of his reputation as the dark tyrant that nobody mentions anymore in spite of fear, he uses that fear to make sure others obey him. Horus' own mythology was altered by the Egyptians just so their descendants won't grow up in fear like they did, Horus also induces fear to some of his subordinates as a way to ensure they stay in check, just the mention of his name is capable of causing Zillius to stutter. Even Inmos had second thoughts of helping Aikkop defeat Horus, Distortion also at one point hesitated to research deeper into Horus though he overcome it out of curiosity.
* **Master Tactician**: Horus conquered several continents and kingdoms using his strategies, he even deceived SERVER and caused v0yx to be left unprotected from his influence. Horus is the mastermind behind the Void Screamers and the Spirits of Hormlash, he ordered the Void Screamers to frame v0yx and make it look as if v0yx trashed a carrot farm that belonged to Stonehattan thus causing v0yx to be in debt with said faction. Horus also has a backup plan should the main one fail, as shown when Aikkop and Inmos restrained him to his skull and despite that he was still capable of tormenting v0yx in his mind.
* **Multilingualism**: Horus is well-capable of speaking English, Spanish and Arabic. He can also speak a demonic language used by spirits.
* **Leadership Skills**: Horus’ charisma and intellect increase his capabilities as a leader, he was able to become a strategic and ruthless tyrant who was capable of toppling dozens of kingdoms that have ruled longer than his.

### Weaknesses

* **Elemental Swords**: The cause of Horus' death, the Elemental Swords consist of eight different swords that embody elements of nature (Dark Sword, Light Sword, Fire Sword, Water Sword, Earth Sword, Ice Sword, Air Sword and Lightning Sword). Each sword alone proved to be capable of harming Horus, even as a spirit, but when combined the swords proved to be more than capable of destroying Horus' living body and weakening him as a spirit.
* **Arius**: Arius is the Embodiment of Death in the Lightning SMP Universe. An enigmatic and primordial entity who reigns over Limbo, Arius is the only entity Horus is truly afraid of. Arius intends on finding and taking Horus to Limbo where the latter can be punished for his unholy deeds such as bringing back the dead. In terms of power, Arius outclasses Horus and SERVER and is perhaps the most powerful entity in the Lightning SMP Universe, however Arius is unable to directly see where Horus is and thus cannot find him as of now.
* **Exorcist Lanterns**: Due to Horus being a spirit, he is affected by exorcistic objects. The lanterns proved to be capable of keeping Horus in place and cancelling out his intangibility powers. Horus' telepathic abilities are still able to be used although to a somewhat weaker extent. One lantern gradually breaks every few weeks, thus the effects are temporary.
* **Indomitable Will**: Despite Horus’ extreme mind powers, his effects only work on beings and entities that have moderate levels of willpower. Creatures such as the Smog Horrors are susceptible to Horus' corruption due to them not having strong enough willpower, with Horus physically touching them already forces them to do his bidding. Should a being have enough willpower, they are capable of halting Horus' corruption or in rare cases completely immune to them, humans that have trained their minds can be resistant to Horus' infection such as Aikkop and v0yx, though it takes exceptional strength to combat Horus' corruption and without losing their sanity in the process. Zillius mind is different than the likes of Aikkop or v0yx, and despite Zillius being capable of halting Horus' corruption, he is still vulnerable to sudden mood swings and unusual bloodlusts and is only safe from them when in the Nether or the End.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Zillius

Zillius is Horus' grand-nephew. Their relationship has not been explored in detail yet, but it is assumed Zillius deeply hates Horus despite the latter being his grand-uncle. Horus has no guilt invading Zillius' dreams or infecting his mind, showing that Horus cares little about Zillius. Despite that, Horus states there is a little of him inside of Zillius, due to them being relatives and sharing a manipulative persona, which might be the only thing about Zillius that Horus deems equal to himself.

### Allies

#### Void Screamers

The Void Screamers are a cult that originated from the End Dimension. They worship Horus and believe he is their lord and savior, they act as minions to the dark god and will serve him no matter what. They are extremely loyal towards Horus and one of them was appointed by Horus to being his messenger. The Void Screamers who truly believe Horus have allowed the latter to enter their minds, the cult presumably has a rivalry against other cults, particularly the ones from Hormlash. They want to prove to Horus that they are the most loyal to him.

#### Dagon

Dagon is a fellow member of the Spirits of Hormlash. Despite their relationship mostly shrouded in mystery, Dagon is regarded as the closest to Horus and is his third-in-command, Horus and Dagon both have a common goal of cheating death and taking over the three dimensions (though Horus plans to do so due to seeing it as "imperfect"). The two have been close allies ever since Horus was alive.

#### Amun

Amun is another member of the Spirits of Hormlash. Being the most active and the only one besides Horus that will enter the area of the Lightning SMP, Amun is close allies to Horus though not as much as Dagon. Amun is quite vengeful to Horus' defeat in the hands of Inmos and Aikkop and was mentioned to be haunting Aikkop when she was mining iron in a ravine, making blocks disappear and tricking Aikkop into getting lost in the ravine.

### Enemies

#### SERVER

SERVER is an enigmatic deity who killed Horus thousands of years ago using the Elemental Swords. The two are archenemies and both fantasize on destroying the other, Horus shows disgust if SERVER's name is mentioned and wishes to destroy the Lightning SMP as revenge against SERVER. SERVER wishes to contact Arius and tell the latter where Horus is but is unable to for some reason, SERVER restricts most members of the smp from going near Horus' burial. Horus berates SERVER whenever it's name is mentioned, calling it a "stupid metallic imbecile".

#### Arius

Arius and Horus have a mysterious history together. Horus is afraid of Arius and goes as far as turning himself into a spirit just to get away from Arius. The series creator has joked that Arius and Horus were a couple and Horus cheated on Arius to become a powerful necromancer, the series creator has stated it may or may not be canon. Assuming the joke is canon, the reason Arius is vengeful against Horus is due to the latter cheating on Arius for something considered by Arius to be unholy, as of now it is unclear.

#### v0yx

v0yx initially was willing to accept Horus' deal, but he stopped himself due to not wanting to kill his friends. v0yx then mocked Horus for thinking the latter could convince v0yx to killing his friends, this prompted Horus' anger towards v0yx. Horus then killed and took v0yx's first canon life by summoning bolts of lightning at him, Horus then proceeded to mockingly rhyme about v0yx's death and take away his stuff. Despite v0yx's first death was avenged through the efforts of Aikkop and Inmos, it proved unsuccessful in stopping Horus telepathically tormenting v0yx to the point where v0yx decided to enter Horus' burial and possibly lost his second canon life.

#### Aikkop

***Horus**: (giggles) Oh really? (in a playful tone)*

Aikkop despises Horus for killing v0yx, she didn't hesitate to attempt to defeat the dark god and punish him for his actions. Horus views Aikkop as a small bug that can be flicked around as much as he wants, though Horus is aware the problem of what Aikkop can cause should she interfere in his plans and thus doesn't hold back when torturing Aikkop, believing that torturing her will make her go insane and prevent her from getting in his way. The two are complete opposites to one another, Aikkop almost always dresses in light pinkish outfits while Horus sports a dark-purple suit, Aikkop loves animals and treats them as if they are people while Horus merely sees them as tools, Aikkop has all three of her canon lives while Horus has lost all of his and is now a spirit.

### Others

#### Distortion

Distortion, despite Horus' reputation, is willing to research and investigate about Horus and those associated with him. Due to Distortion being a scientist, he cannot deny on researching about the dark god and Distortion seemingly doesn't care on the torment Horus caused to v0yx and instead wants to find out the extent of Horus' mind powers. Horus is well aware of Distortion actively researching him and will wait until
Distortion is capable of being manipulated.
