recursal/Fanatic-Fandom huggingface dataset:
Ishan

Ishan was a young noble of the Ruby Palace and the youngest of four brothers. Before his death, he was betrothed to Darya, Karnan’s older sister. After their betrothal feast [session 4, Horus interlude], Horus overheard a conversation between Ishan and his brothers, in which Ishan expressed distaste for Emperor Zahreb’s intentions of war, and it was implied that he was in love not with Darya, but with an unknown Keironian noble’s daughter. Hoping for a good story, Horus spread this news, exaggerating the contents, throughout the Palace. The next morning, word of the conversation had reached the Emperor, and Ishan was dragged off publicly and executed for treason. This experience traumatised Horus and led him to consider his words more carefully.
Akheila

Akheila is the current Elder of the island of Alaxos, the largest of the six Sekhtis Islands. She is a stately middle-aged woman with a blue tinge to her skin. She inherited the title of Elder at the age of 18 after her father, Elder Malpatos, was murdered at the hand of his own son, her younger brother Aimon. Under her rule, Alaxos is mistrustful and wary of outsiders. Akheila is stern but honourable, and rewarded the party’s rescue of two young Alaxan girls with the information they sought about the Ten Exiles [session 7].
Pranu and Prishti

Pranu and Prishti are eleven-year-old twin boys, the youngest children of Maita and Aram and the brothers of Arjun, Aisha and Maya. They are notorious around the East Side for their bad behaviour. Pranu, the elder twin, is particularly given to acts of delinquency, including but not limited to shoplifting, vandalism and pantsing unsuspecting passersby.
Rishi

Rishi is the younger half-sibling of Raiyesh and Reaver. An energetic, kind and sincere individual, they are a beloved member of the East Side community, and keen to participate in the Rebellion effort. They work in the weavers’ guild along with their fiancée Maya and future mother-in-law, Maita. Rishi loves both their siblings deeply and is often saddened by the rift between them.

When Rishi was very young, the siblings’ mother disappeared, leaving Raiyesh to take care of his younger siblings. They journeyed to the East Side, where they were fostered by Maita and her family for three years. When he turned eighteen, Raiyesh took custody of Rishi and the two moved into the loft of the glassblower’s shop where Raiyesh was apprenticed, where they have lived ever since.

A popular heartbreaker in their adolescent years, Rishi eventually fell in love with their best friend, Maya, whose family had remained close to Rishi since fostering them years ago. The two became engaged shortly before the events of the campaign, much to Maita’s delight and relish. Rishi invited both Raiyesh and Reaver to the wedding as a plea for reconciliation between the estranged siblings.
Hilos

Hilos is a young Choleri from the island of Khoros, the most welcoming and traditionalist of the six Sekhtis Islands. He is the eldest son of the current Elder, Silvanos, and the two have a fractious relationship as Hilos does not live up to the ideals of his Choleri blood group, but instead prefers to eavesdrop on the Phlegmati’s scholarly discussions. When the party arrived in Khoros [session 6], Hilos volunteered to translate for them and show them around the island. His enthusiastic and open nature endeared him to the party, and he introduced them to a variety of Khoros traditions, including group dancing, the roles of the four blood groups, and the use of sekhta, community-based magic, in daily life. When the party departed the Islands [session 7], Raiyesh gave Hilos a Sending Stone so that they could share information about the Ten Exiles.
Maya

Maya is the third child and second daughter of Maita and Aram, and the fiancée of Rishi. Maya takes after her mother in her fiery nature and sharp tongue. She is betrothed to Rishi, her best friend since childhood. Maya is particularly close to her brother Arjun and took his estrangement from the family hard.
Maita

Maita is a middle-aged matriarch of the East Side, the leader of the weavers’ guild and a well-respected pillar of the community. Ferocious and generous, she takes great pride in her family, her parties, and her cooking. Her soft-spoken husband Aram, a jeweller, is often the voice of reason to her outbursts.

Maita has five children: Arjun, Aisha, Maya, and the twins Pranu and Prishti. Before the twins were born, she and her husband fostered the siblings Raiyesh, Reaver and Rishi for three years.
Zahreb

Zahreb of the House Khandra, Most High and Glorious Emperor of the Holy Lands of Ishvar is the seventh and current member of the Khandra dynasty to rule Ishvar. As Emperor, he is considered a divine vessel of the gods’ will on Earth. He is very rarely seen outside of his quarters in the Central Tower of the Ruby Palace, where he confers with his trusted advisors.

The Emperor has now announced to his inner circle his intentions to marry again, which many assume to mean the approaching birth or legitimacy of an heir. Since the Khandra dynasty has followed the one-child rule for three previous generations, this implies a disregard, if not an outright rejection, of Valani as heir, which is particularly striking given the recent attempts on her life.
Fobahnax

Fobahnax, alternatively known as Fobahn or Fobahna, is an extraplanar being of great power who is capable of granting magical ability in exchange for a pact. They are the warlock patron of Jaina and Pietra. While blackmailing the party, they signed the notes as "The Beckoner".

(stub. will expand later)
Delmani

Delmani is Karnan's mother and a high-ranking noble in the Ruby Palace. She is married to Havar, a fellow noble, and the two have three children: Darya, Karnan and baby Ghaneshi. Their bloodlines have long been close to the royal family, and the continuation and glorification of that line is a priority for the couple. When Karnan was believed to have attempted to elope with Princess Valani, Delmani chastised him upon his return [session 5]. When Karnan showed no signs of backing down, she disowned him.
Six Meridians Rejuvenation Medicated Bath

A special series of baths Song Qingshi gives to Yue Wuhuan to help him recover from Golden Phoenix Manor. It includes five initial baths, followed by two more with the Muscle Generating Flower, Snow Toad Cake and Hibiscus Cake. The main medicines used in these baths are referred to as the Six Meridians Rejuvenation Decoction. The final bath using Hibiscus Cake takes roughly half an hour.
Pissmaster Supreme

Pissmaster Supreme is the party's boat, given to them by Valani in order to travel to the Sekhtis Islands. It is a small, unremarkable cargo boat with built-in bunks, a hold for cargo and a small compartment for the captain. It was named by Horus to commemorate the occasion on which he killed a Giant Octopus by urinating on it.
Aisha

Aisha is the second child and eldest daughter of Maita and Aram. She is level-headed and poised, putting her at odds with her more passionate family members.

Known as a local beauty since her youth, Aisha shocked the community by marrying a bald, irregular man ten years her senior who was virtually unknown to her part of the East Side [session 4, Raiyesh interlude]. However, Aisha’s good sense won out, and Niko turned out to be a kind, generous and dependable husband with good business sense. The couple are currently expecting their first child.
Izali

Izali is a high-ranking member of the Syndicate who acts as a bartender at Davina’s Eye, a rough tavern in the Docks region of Solari. She is a short, stout middle-aged woman with a no-nonsense attitude and a reputation for being relatively honourable. As Reaver’s immediate superior, Izali is responsible for managing the Docks chapter of the Syndicate and passing on jobs sent by her employer, whom she refers to only as “The Boss”.
Talea'Ilavar

## Pflanze Talea’Ilavar (Sternenlicht)

Die Pflanze die bei den Elfen unter Talea’ilavar bekannt ist, war eine Erfindung Elfischer Druiden und daher eine Pflanze die künstlich mittels Magie hergestellt wurde. Man kombinierte die Eigenschaften eines Rohrkolben und des Glühmooses, welches auf dem Pfad zum Herz des Waldes wuchs, miteinander. Dies wurde aus der Not heraus geboren, als man feststellte, das offenes Feuer und Bäume keine guten Bekannten mehr werden würden und man nur so gerade ein paar Beinahe Katastrophen entkam.

Die Pflanze hatte die längliche Form eines Rohrkolbens auch wenn sie nur noch entfernt danach Aussah. Die magische Pflanze nahm tagsüber das Sonnenlicht auf und gab es in den unterschiedlichsten Farben ab, sobald es dunkel wurde. Wenn sie abgeschnitten wurden, verlor sich diese Lichtgebende Wirkung innerhalb eines Monats.

Wenn man sie zerstampfte und in Wasserauflöste, dickte dies das Wasser leicht an und man konnte es nutzen um damit wie mit Tinte auf Schriftstücken zu schreiben, die man nur bei Mondlicht lesen konnte. Die Schrift wurde dann in einem silbrigen Ton sichtbar. Es wurde auch dazu genutzt einige Gebäude mit schönen Elfischen Bemalungen zu verzieren.
Pietra

Pietra (born Laodice), also known as “the Arcanist”, is a professor at the School of Arcana in Zarion. Unbeknownst to most, she grew up in Alaxos in the Sekhtis Islands, the child of an Islander mother and a Zarite father. When she was sixteen, she undertook the Trial of Light, a coming-of-age ritual for sixteen-year-olds on Alaxos, with nine other teenagers. The group ended up committing several murders, including that of Malpatos, the Elder, and were exiled from the Islands as punishment.

Laodice almost drowned on the voyage, and in desperation, she called for help. This summoned the genie Fobahnax from the lantern she carried as a memento of her mother, and Laodice became bound to them in repayment for saving her life. She reached shore alive but gravely injured, having lost the ability to walk.

Sometime after this incident, she made her way to Zarion, changing her name to Pietra, and successfully entered the School of Arcana. She became a research student and then a professor there, known for her knowledge and skill. At some point in Zarion, she acquired a magical wheelchair which moves at her telepathic command.

One day, Fobahnax made a request of her: they would dictate a series of blackmail notes, which she would write and send out. These notes were received by the party [session 8], directing them to a specific location - the School of Philosophy in Blinstad, where the biannual Symposium was taking place. When the party reached Blinstad [session 9], they were directed to a mysterious room with no exits, where they were forced to listen to individual telepathic messages from Fobahn; these messages gave hints as to the identity and location of the ten exiles, including Pietra herself, and encouraged the party to hunt them down while remaining vague about the genie’s own motives.

Pietra arrived, having full knowledge of this plan and willingly offering up her life as atonement for her complicity in the murders thirty years ago. The party refused to kill her, and in gratitude, she gave them some information about the other exiles.
Anjali

Anjali is a mysterious, elegantly-dressed young woman of significant wealth who lives in an apartment in the Docks region of the city of Solari. The exact nature of her work is unclear, but she has several high-class clients at the Ruby Palace. She is a longtime friend of Reaver’s and a fellow member of the Syndicate, working as a messenger and spy in all three regions of Solari. She appears to have a soft spot for Raiyesh, and offers both siblings information on occasion if she believes they need it. In addition to passing messages, Anjali is known to offer her apartment as a safe space for those she considers her friends (such as Reaver, Sina and Raiyesh).

Upon Sina’s visit to her apartment at the Beckoner’s request, Anjali was revealed to have a “lover”, a powerful man of unknown identity with whom she appears to have an unhealthy relationship.
Dark Matters: Escape Plan (Short Story)

Dark Matters: Escape Plan is the fourth short story within the 2018 Dark Matters series. It continues the story of Malcolm McGoy from Dark Matters: Aeris Heist.

## Description

* The story is both a sequel to Dark Matters: Aeries Heist and Dark Matters: A City In Peril, continuing Malcolm's and Ramone's story in conjunction.
Multipurpose Crawler (MPC)

While there are various versions throughout the Cursio Galaxy, the first time an MPC was spotlighted was during the events of both the novella and videogame versions of Shadows of Verdara.

## Description

MPCs are, as their name suggests, vehicles capable of a variety of uses. The six-wheeled variants are more often found on swampy or sandy planets.

## Book Appearances

* In Shadows of Verdara, the researchers and mercenaries use an MPC to travel from Outpost V-II to Outpost V-I. It is unknown if this MPC is the same that the survivor in the videogame spinoff was trying to repair.

## Videogame Appearances

* In the Shadows of Verdara, the survivor of the massacre of Outpost V-I is desperately searching for vehicle parts to repair an MPC parked outside the IGA Center.
Dark Matters: Exile (Short Story)

Dark Matters: Exile is the fifth short story within the 2018 Dark Matters series. This is the tale of Collin Williams as he begins his exile on Earth.

## Description

*"Too powerful for his own good, Collin Williams has been stripped of his alias, Dark Matter, and sent into exile on Earth. He can no longer be a hero, and any vigilantism could lead to a treaty being broken between the Intergalactic Alliance and the Industry. Can he come to terms with this new life? Or will Collin be willing to risk breaking the treaty?"*

## Notes

* Taylor has stated that the 2018 Dark Matters Short Story series is only meant to be taken as loose canon.
Feoze River

The **Feoze River** [ˈfi.oʊz] (Gisian: ƕís gqíc [ʍɪːz̥ ɢɪːt͡ɕ]; Fonolian: fīeze hun [ˈfiːy̯ze hun]) is a river in Southeastern Boshua. It is located in Gisia; in fact, Gisia's name comes from the word for river, gqíc [ɢɪːt͡ɕ], in reference to the Feoze River.

## Etymology

For thousands of years, Gisian people simply called the Feoze River *saöt gqíc* [ˈsa.ot ɢɪːt͡ɕ] "great river". When Fonolia took control of Gisia in 1372, they gave the river its current name (feoze [feˈoze] means "brothers" in Fonolian), after the Gisian folktale of two brothers discovering the river and showing it to the people of Gisia.

BIOS

BIOS are a bioweapon created by Peterson Industries, long before they became the Industry. It is rumored they were created from a demonic DNA.

## History

### Dark Below

When a squad of six Agents proceeded to infiltrate an "abandoned" Industry facility, a horde of BIOS ambushed them. Nathaniel Sreth was bitten, but was saved by Dalila Fornay administering an antidote. The Agents were quick to seal themselves in a control room. They remained there for several minutes before overcharging the lights in the facility, partially blinding the BIOS. The Agents quickly evacuated the facility, with Ray Pearson detonating charges to seal the facility. A BIO managed to bite his calf and Dalila was forced to administer a dose of the antidote to Ray. A giant BIO specimen emerged from the facility shortly after, but was quickly dispatched by a pair of Knights.

### Dark Matter Rises

Collin Williams witnessed the Industry dumping thousands of BIOS outside the defensive walls of Pearl City on Managarus. The Industry broke through the walls and unleashed hordes of the monsters in order to eradicate all life in the city as quickly as possible. Collin stood his ground fighting, but showed heavy signs of severe infection after taking on multiple bites. He was eventually found struggling to stay conscious by his friends, who picked him up and gave him a dose of adrenal before going on the defensive against the Industry.

## Abilities

The BIOS increase their numbers by spreading their virus to bodies that they do not *entirely* devour. Once bitten, the victim loses all control of their body and mind. The only desire they have is to feed. Any left over part of a corpse (be it a full body, a head, an arm, a finger, or leg) has a chance at becoming a flesh devouring mutation. The virus will first force the flesh to grow any necessary appendages for mobility, then it will form necessary organs within. Finally, the virus forces it's new body to form a mouth lined with razor-sharp teeth. Other mutations can occur, but they entirely depend on the situation. It is also not known how they navigate. They do not have eyes most of the time, and more often than not are missing ears. There are theories within the DMU that they detect via vibrations in the ground.

## Appearances

* Dark Matters: Dark Below
* Dark Matter Rises
* Untitled

## Notes

* There is an antidote to the BIOS virus, but it must be administered within thirty minutes of becoming infected. The longer it takes to administer the antidote, the less effective it becomes.
* Collin Williams is the only canonical character to survive a bite without requiring an antidote.
Dark Matters: Anthology

Dark Matters: Anthology is an upcoming novel featuring rewritten and reworked versions of the 2018 Dark Matters short stories. While it is confirmed to be in production, little is known about the novel. However, per Laughing Matter Studio's official Discord, the novel will contain several new short stories and it will be released as both an e-book and paperback. The short stories that are currently published will be updated and canonized. Author Taylor W. Wilson has assured that those who had purchased the original short stories individually will receive an update to the e-books automatically.

## Notes

* When the seven Dark Matters stories were published in 2018, author Taylor W. Wilson was very new to writing and suffering from issues in his personal life. This led to him admitting that the stories were poorly written and he established them as loose canon. Anthology was put together by Taylor to fix the stories and update them to match the Dark Matter Universe canon properly (e.g. the Intergalactic Alliance had not existed for more than a couple of years in Dark Matters: Aeris Heist).
* A majority of Anthology's stories take place prior to the events of Dark Matter: Code Red.
* The original short stories were not released in any sort of order in 2018. However, they are arranged within Anthology to be in chronological order.
Dark Matters: Havannah Havoc (Short Story)

Dark Matters: Havannah Havoc is the seventh and final short story within the Dark Matters series. It introduced two Angels into the DMU, and was one of the first times readers were able to see Angels in action.

## Description

*"Marie and Amber are on an expedition on the savannah-covered planet, Havannah. With the discovery of s cave system running under a drying lake, Amber hopes to find a new source of water for the indigenous, nearby Argotia City, or put a stop to whatever is draining the lake."*

## Notes

* Taylor has stated that the 2018 Dark Matters Short Story series is only meant to be taken as loose canon.
Anu

Anu is a highly gifted teenage girl from the East Side of Solari, formerly Raiyesh’s apprentice in alchemy, and now the Rebellion’s designated artificer. During her apprenticeship, she helped develop and test many of Raiyesh’s designs, including the Pot of Shitting. While Raiyesh was away from home [session 3], Arjun recruited Anu by tempting her with resources to build a secret design she had been working on, a magical cannon to aid the militant faction of the Rebellion. She now manages a team of budding artificers out of a renovated warehouse in the Docks, funded by Arjun through the Rebellion effort.
Joltleaper Spider

The Joltleaper Spider is a species of arachnid on various tropical worlds. This spider is known for its unique ability to spin webs that can conduct electricity, making it a formidable predator and defender against predators. One of the more common planets it is found on is the reptilian world of Xerofia.

## Appearance

The joltleaper is a small spider, with a body length of about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm). It has a round, compact body, with eight long, slender legs that allow it to jump great distances. The spider's most distinctive feature is its metallic, iridescent exoskeleton, which ranges in color from bright brown to yellow and orange.

## Behavior

The Joltleaper Spider is a nocturnal hunter, using its exceptional jumping ability to ambush and capture prey. Its web-spinning ability allows it to create intricate and highly conductive webs that can shock and immobilize prey on contact.

While most leaper spider species do not use silk as anything other than a safety line for a failed jump, joltleaper spiders seem to enjoy lining plant limbs with a trail of their silk. When night falls, there is often a faint electric glow running through the silk.

The spider is also capable of generating electricity within its body, which it can use for self-defense. When threatened, the spider can release a powerful electric shock through its webs, incapacitating any would-be attacker.

## Habitat

The Joltleaper Spider is found in a variety of environments, including rainforests, deserts, and urban areas. It prefers to live in warm, humid environments and can often be found in trees, bushes, and other vegetation.

## Cultural Impact

There are reports of planetary locals that have repurposed the spider's silk as wiring. Because the silk is gold in color, it has been used to add patterns to clothing.
Cersis Khergon

Cersis Khergon is a Xerofian Agent working for the Intergalactic Alliance (IGA). She is highly respected by her people and IGA.

## Biography

While little is known about her life on Xerofia, Cersis was known as a master warrior, respected by many. As soon as she heard that Xerofia would be added to IGA, she joined their ranks. Cersis trained every day and reached the rank of Agent within months, an accomplishment never heard of for a Xerofian. Following her promotion to Agent, Cersis aided in perfecting the Agent training curriculum.

### Dark Below

Cersis led a squad of five other Agents to an underground Peterson Industries facility on Terra. It was here that her team acquired a vast amount of data on the BIOS that Peterson Industries spent decades weaponizing. Her team managed to escape and was rescued by a pair of Knights above ground.

## Personality

Cersis is a daring leader. She will push her team to get a job done, no matter the threat. Cersis is not one to let others see when she is scared, and in fact, appears to be more courageous the worse the situation.

## Notes

* While the 2018 Dark Matters short story series is considered loose canon, Cersis is the Xerofian to appear in the Dark Matter Universe.
Wade Garrett

Wade Garrett was the brains of Malcolm McGoy's crew during a bank heist on the planet Aeris.

## Biography

Wade was a technical whiz and was known in the criminal underworld as being rivalled only by Agnes and Alden Smythe.

### Aeris Heist

After their bank heist was foiled, Malcom McGoy's crew made a break for it, taking an armored truck onto a highway running through the capital city. Amber Harkins intervened, catching up to the truck. Joel Morales, the driver, switched places with Wade and climbed to the hatch on the top of the truck to shoot the Angel. Joel eventually climbed onto the roof to fighter Amber, but was knocked backwards. His wrist fell into the cabin and he accidentally fired the gun, shooting Wade in the back of the head.

## Personality

Despite being a mastermind of technology, Wade was a very cowardly individual.

Arctica Ice Weaver Spider

The Arctic Ice Weaver Spider (Araneus glacialis) is a species of spider that is said to live in the icy tundra of the planet Arctica, the third planet within the Necro System. The spider is known for its unique ability to weave webs that are resistant to extreme cold temperatures and can even withstand the freezing temperatures of liquid nitrogen.

## Appearance

The Arctic Ice Weaver Spider is described as being a large spider, with a body size (while rare to be seen) of up to 10 feet (3.4 meters) in length, but it's leg span can vary from 20 to 30 feet (6.096 to 9.144 meters) depending on the exact geographical region where the spider is from on the planet. Its abdomen is usually covered in thick, white fur that helps to insulate it from the cold. The spider has eight eyes arranged in two rows, two large eyes between two small eyes and a set of four eyes above them, which are sensitive to changes in light and help it navigate through its environment. Each spider has two fangs on the ends of both chelicerae.

## Behavior

The Arctica ice weaver spider is a communal creature, preferring to live in communities of hundreds to thousands. It feeds primarily on Arctica fauna smaller than its own body, but will take down larger prey when hunting in a pack on foot. While the spiders will hunt down prey, Arctica's ice weavers are also known to capture prey of any size in their community webs that can be found within caves, canyons, mountains, and various other terrains across the landscape of the frozen world.

The Arctic Ice Weaver Spider is most active during the colder months of the Arctica winters, when temperatures drop so low that most other fauna enter hibernation, making the spider's hunt easy pickings. During the warmer months, they retreat to deep caverns or canyons, where they tend to let their prey come to them.

The a bite from of one Arctica ice weaver spider is enough to paralyze prey the size of humans. Smaller prey will experience liquification of their insides immediately. It is currently documented that the venom keeps the prey alive even when their insides are liquified, meaning that they feel every bit of pain from the venom and fangs. There is no known cure for a bite from the ice weaver. Coupled with the fact that they often hunt together, it is not uncommon for the emptied husks of former prey to be found with numerous bit marks from being bitten by several spiders.

## Habitat

The Arctic Ice Weaver Spider is said to live in the frigid tundra of the planet Arctica, where temperatures can reach as low as -107 degrees Celsius. It is well adapted to survive in these extreme conditions, thanks to its thick fur and ability to create webs that can withstand the cold.

Despite the harsh conditions of its habitat, the Arctica ice weaver spider is an important part of the Arctic ecosystem, helping to control the populations of various other fauna. It is the only known apex predator on the planet, and has been placed on the food chain above even the inhabitants of the five Intergalactic Alliance outposts located in the eastern hemisphere of the planet.
Blake Kraniks

Blake Kraniks is an unregistered mutant that is actively listed as a fugitive per Intergalactic Alliance (IGA) records.

## Biography

### Dark Matters: Up In Smoke

Blake first appeared on IGA's radar in 4834, after he was marked as an unregistered and therefore illegal mutant, and was approached by Agent Ray Pearson on the planet Regis. Blake worked with the Agent to take down Isaac Garedo, a man who had just contracted Blake to locate and retrieve a drive. Unfortunately, the contract itself was a trap as Garedo wanted Blake dead. Ray helped Blake track down Garedo and the former was arrested by the Agent. Ray let Blake go, as the fire mutant wasn't part of Ray's own mission.

### Dark Matter: Code Red

Blake made his next official appearance aboard Nova Station. When Collin, joined by two IGA soldiers, arrived at an emergency station, Blake was with Clair and Cole Fender.

## Personality

Blake is not necessarily a villain in the DMU. In the past, pre-Nova Station, Blake was more or less a vigilante. He was not afraid to kill, either. However, following his near-death when Nova Station exploded, Blake became much more cruel. Blake began to take on mercenary work for just about anyone, and if an innocent person got in his way, he would not hesitate to eliminate what he would call an "obstruction."

## Powers

### Fire Manipulation

Blake wields his fire power with ease. He is known heat his flames up enough to turn his opponents into ash.

### Healing Factor

While Blake does posses the ability to heal quicker than a normal human being, he himself has stated that it is very weak compared to healing factors of others, such as Collin Williams. Blake aided in helping Collin into an escape pod (as the latter had taken a beating from William Ordazed) and disappeared as soon as the pod was retrieved by IGA.

## Appearances

* Dark Matter: Code Red
* Dark Matters: Up In Smoke
* Fire In The Night

## Notes

* Blake was originally planned to be a close rival to Collin Williams, but the idea was scrapped during the writing of Dark Matter: Code Red as Taylor did not plan to give Collin his titular powers in the book. The idea was eventually reinstated during the writing of the fourth official book of the series, though it is yet to be released.
* It was unknown for a while what role Blake would play in Fire In The Night. LMStudios had mentioned that he would make an appearance, but it was not known until the cover was revealed at the start of 2023 that Blake would have a major role.

## Biography

Mary was born on Fusia I decades before it fell to the Industry. Little is known of her early life.

### Dark Below

Mary was part of Cersis Khergon's team of Agents that travelled to Terra to check out possible Peterson Industries presence. Cersis was not fond of Mary's paranoia, but said paranoia turned into reality as the group attacked by a horde of BIOS deep in an underground Peterson Industries facility.

## Personality

Mary can be paranoid, but more often than not, it's for good reason. Her level-headedness combined with her love for firepower can get her and her fellow Agents out of anything.
Zarkiks

#### Battle of Kater-7

Zarkiks joined up with the Industry sometime before the events of Dark Matter Rises. His first call to action was to aid the Industry on Katar-7, a junk planet where they intended to use the endless supplies of salvaged metal to build the mechanical side of their army.

## Personality

Zarkiks was originally very rash, similarly to Collin Williams. However, after his defeat at the hands of Collin during the Battle of Managarus, Zarkiks became more timid. He was beaten on a regular basis by William Ordazed, though he only wished to please the leader of the Industry. By the Neutral Zone Skirmish, Zarkiks returned to his rash behavior, stopping at nothing to kill Collin.

## Powers

### Electricity Manipulation

Zarkiks possesses a mastery of electricity control. When fighting, punching his body will paralyze most opponents.

## Appearances

He briefly informed Collin that Sereno Jek was planning to attack the Senate Tower and pin the blame on Undermine City, which would break the truce between the city and IGA. While reluctant at first, Collin would eventually aid the city. The last time the Gatekeeper was seen was when Collin brought Jek to Undermine City to be executed by it's leader.

## Appearances

Asterfield

Asterfield is the second game by Laughing Matter Studios set within the Incursia series. It brought little lore to Incursia, but did well in attracting attention to the series as an arcade classic.

## Plot

Players assumed the role of an unnamed pilot working for the Raleigh Mining Corporation out in an undesignated part of space. The pilot focused on destroying asteroid throughout their shift, with collector crafts scheduled to come in and retrieve the smaller chunks of rock after the pilot's shift.

Sereno Jek

Sereno Jek is a mob boss who operated in the undercity of Aura City on Alpha Prime.

## Biography

Sereno Jek moved to Alpha Prime at a young age and began building his own criminal organization as soon as he reached adulthood. Jek was smart and always implanted backup plans. At one point, he desired to destroy the Intergalactic Alliance (IGA) Senate Tower and spent many months planning out the attack.

### Fire In The Night

Jek had sent thirty-two of his men, most of his organization at the time, to collect unprimed explosives from outside of Aura City on Alpha Prime. During a race back to a warehouse in the lower levels of the city, a hauler driven by two of the men was caught in an Aura City Police Department (ACPD) chase that even included Collin Williams (Dark Matter). While the men managed to evade ACPD and Collin, they were tracked down by an IGA Agent named Nathaniel Sreth.

Later on in the night, Jek was confronted in a power station he had overtaken by Collin, joined by his rival Blake Kraniks and a female Vle named Raza Grey. Jek thought he was safe, even opening fire on Raza, but was incapacitated by Blake. Jek eventually woke up in the back of a hauler trailer, but was immediately knocked out again, this time by Raza cracking the butt of a rifle into his head.

Jek eventually came to after being tossed through a teleportation ring that led into Undermine City, deep below Aura City. He was picked up by Collin and carried via the latter's shoulder. Jek realized where he was and panicked, but was unable to fight back as his hands and feet were tied, and tape was over his mouth. Collin, still joined by Raza and Blake, dropped Jek in front of Charles Yortana at the top of Undermine City. Yortana shot Jek in the head for threatening Undermine. If the Senate Tower was destroyed by Jek, Jek would have tried to convince IGA that Undermine was behind the attack. IGA would have retaliated against the outlaw city, and blood would have been shed.

## Personality

Jek is not afraid to face off against anyone. He always has a plan. His plan to attack the IGA Senate Tower with a hauler full of explosives was considered to be too ambitious by some of his own men. But Jek

## Notes

* Jek is the second Cephilian to be written about in the Dark Matter Universe, the first being Grolan Maggs in Dark Matter III. Coincidentally, both Cephilians are depicted as nefarious.
Nathaniel Sreth

### Dark Below

Nathaniel was part of Cersis Khergon's squad of Agents that travelled to Terra to investigate a possible Peterson Industries underground facility. The squad was ordered to only investigate, but Cersis Khergon ordered her team to infiltrate. Nathaniel was the first to be attacked and bitten by a BIO, requiring Dalila Fornay to administer him an antidote. Later on, Nathaniel would be guarding a control room in the facility, along with Gerald Monquez and Mary Bures, when the three opened fire on a horde of BIOS.

### Dark Matter: Code Red

Ramone Drang (Cobalt)

Ramone Drang is a scientist who built a small mech out of cobaltium in 4834.

## Biography

Little is known as to why he originally went missing, but Ramone was a well respected scientist working with the Intergalactic Alliance (IGA).

### A City In Peril

He went missing several months prior to the events of Dark Matters: A City in Peril, reappearing in Saltu City, the capital of Xerofia. There, he engaged two Knights, Sir Benjamin Riley and Sir Raine Harolds, while piloting his cobaltium mech and refering to himself as "Cobalt". Following the encounter, Ramone tried to retreat and hide within his lab built into the side of the adjacent volcano.

After a while of searching, the Knights came across the lab. While he was apprehended momentarily, Ramone made his way to the Cobalt mech and escaped, only to be stopped and finally arrested at the base of the volcano.

### Escape Plan

Ramone was taken to Aura City Prison, where he spent many months before meeting Malcolm McGoy. The two met while eating meal in the mess hall, and Ramone tried to enlist Malcolm in an escape effort. Unfortunately, Malcom knew something Ramone didn't: the guards were trained to read lips. While Ramone was not in severe trouble, he was rather irritated with Malcom, especially when the latter tried to convince to help with his nephew's science project. Ramone felt this was a waste of his intellect, but realized that the prison library was his only shot at speaking to Malcolm about escaping.

A day later, Ramone and Malcolm worked together to take out each other's assigned guards

## Personality

Ramone is dangerously smart and is very vindictive, but away from his gadgets and lab, he poses little threat.

## Appearances

* Dark Matters: A City In Peril
* Dark Matters: Escape Plan

## Notes

* While the Dark Matters series from 2018 is only loose cannon, all characters within it are canon, same for the characters. While Ramone Drang has not appeared in any of the main Dark Matter novels, he is referenced and is in fact canon to the DMU.
