Maakia Milrankus

* Milrankus
* Belia

Maakia Milrankus, known as Maakia Belia, rose to power as the Supreme Senator of Hiddranda while being a secret descendant of the Milrankus bloodline. He sought out the Cursed Banishment Set in order to protect his village by indiscriminately removing any threats from the outside world, battling the Starrite Guardians, but was ultimately killed in a joint effort between Magnus and GOD Milrankus.

## Appearance

Maakia is a very large and overweight scale-less Dragonborn with grey eyes and two white horns that curve upwards. His skin is bland and deformed, sagging across his lower body like dead weight. Additionally, he has a ring piercing on his nose.

## Brief History

Maakia Milrankus at birth, disguised as Maakia Belia for political reasons, was a resident of the secret village Hiddranda. Despite being born with an exotic physical illness, he rose to power as their Supreme Senator, governing various aspects of the village. He learned of the Cursed Banishment Set, a suit of armor with exotic properties, and began studying it to fulfill his goal: to eradicate all threats outside of Hiddranda for the safety of his village.

Maakia learnt of its locations in the Dark Mountains and sent rookie hero Maigo Milrankus to retrieve it. Maigo failed, prompting Maakia to kidnap Mazgorr Milrankus and forcing him to send a mysterious message to the Starrite Guardians. The heroes traveled to Hiddranda in order to investigate, greeted by the senator, and were presented with the quest to retrieve the armor. The Starrites were successful, defeating a Death Knight and returning the large set to Maakia. Not long after, he was confronted by the heroes after they learned the truth behind Mazgorr's disappearance, revealing his Milrankus heritage and true motives then speeding away with his armor.

After finding Mazgorr, Magnus gave the Sword of a Million Ranks to GOD Milrankus, perfecting the beast, and the group of heroes quickly chased the senator. Maakia confronted them outside of Hiddranda, explaining his plans and beginning a fight. Unfortunately for him, GOD launched a flurry of powerful attacks, with the last one managing to slice off Maakia's head.

## Abilities

Maakia did not have many physical abilities due to his condition, making him a big and slow individual. Additionally, he used no magic and had no proficiencies with the arcane.

* **Multilingualism-** Maakia is capable of speaking and understanding both common and draconic.
* **Enhanced Strength-** Despite his overweight physique, Maakia is surprisingly strong, being able to carry and wear an insanely heavy set of armor that would prove difficult for most others. Without his illness, he would've been blue-scaled, but lacks any of their signature abilities.
* **Master Strategist-** Maakia was an excellent strategist, hiding his Milrankus ancestry to gain a political advantage, as well as planning and executing a well-thought out plan to have the Starrite Guardians obtain his prized armor for him.

## Equipment

Maakia only uses a very special piece of equipment, learning of its existence through the study of Orcish history. The senator knew it was the perfect way for him to obtain power and use his physique to his advantage.

* **Cursed Banishment Set-** A set of Venge-Metal armor that provided Maakia with near-perfect protection; it's magic is constantly imprisoning a mysterious Orc, causing anyone who lacks the strength to wield it temporary insanity, such as Maigo Milrankus.
	+ **Spherical Transport-** Once the user repositions their armor, it could serve as transportation. This allowed Maakia to roll around at very fast speeds, quickly exiting his building and Hiddranda as a whole in a matter of minutes. This could also be used to damage enemies by running over them in battle.
	+ **Bounding Orc Spell-** Through the study of the specific Orcish spell used to bound the orc, Maakia was be able to wield the orc's abilities without becoming possessed. These included increased strength and tactical abilities, as well as proficiency with heavy weapons. The orc's features would begin to manifest, allowing Maakia to damage enemies by hitting them with Orcish arms.

## Weaknesses

* **Skin Disease-** Maakia was born with a rare skin-related illness, causing him to never develop his natural blue scales and causing him physical discomfort. Not only that, but it also damaged his throat, removing his ability to breathe electricity.

## Trivia

* The alias "Maakia Belia" is a reference to Renaissance philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli, mainly due to his controversial political views, alluding to Maakia's villainy throughout the session.
