Cull Dwarf

Cull Dwarf is a gargantuan Flesholem who is either a battle crazed beast or a killer robot devoid of any personal interests. As a safety procaution, the previous chief scientist (Before Darkest History took the position), had pre-programmed certain restrictions into the half of his brain that had been computerized. Since his ascention into the Thirteen Cull Dwarf has never failed in a seek and destroy mission set out by his adopted father and master. Thought it appears that some signs of individuality would begin to show themselves should someone ignite that warrior spirit of his.

## Appearance

A larger than normal Flesholem with a stocky, muscular body, standing over most other individuals. Cybernetic components visually seen. An artificial left eye, his left arm replaced into a cybernetic arm just past his elbow. Those metal like pylons coming from his back (Don't have a better word for them since they help generate his electricity, sorry) Wears a gladiator version of a New Order SIG suit. Heavy boots, pants that goes to his knees, and a shoulder guard over his left shoulder. A bracer over his right arm. And a helmet on his head
to keep it safe.

## Background

Not much is known about Cull Dwarf, only that he
is a Cybernetic Flesholem that was either, created by the former head scientist of Thanatos’ army. However, during the final bonding procedure, an accident occurred causing everyone on the project to be killed For years he wondered aimlessly, killing and devouring anyone he meets in his way until he was captured and experimented on by Thanatos’ chief scientists, regaining some sentience. Since then he was given the name Cull Dwarf by the scientist. At first he was like a machine before his training and ability to “watch and learn” allowed him to become more independent and deadly in battle. After becoming a member of the Thirteen Children of Thanatos, the new power he gained made him hunger to other life-forms no matter what species they are. To keep him under control, Darkest History made a formula that will keep his hunger under control while doing his duties until he is out on missions. Before the former Chief Scientist disappeared he programmed a few prime directives into Cull’s computerized half of his brain:

1. Serve Thanatos to best of abilities.
 2. Do not harm or devour allies. (Though vocally stated as servants of Thanatos) Any action to do violate this directive in his brain will result in a shut down.
 3. Any attempts to betray Thanatos or the New Order will result in a shut down.
 4. Survive at all costs, even if it violates orders, and grow stronger.

After that Cull Dwarf has been known to be between a killing robot and a beast
who enjoys devouring, fighting, and getting stronger. Proving his worth to his master. Unbeknownst to him, his master had plans to implant something in his body should he feel that Cull Dwarf needs a ‘second chance’ during a battle against any enemy who defeated Cull so effectively.

## Personality

The only thing that appears to be going through his mind are: “Who to eat?”, “Who to kill?”, & “Serve Thanatos”. Cull Dwarf does not do much thinking except following his orders, fighting to kill his enemies, serve his master. After becoming a member of the Thirteen, Cull Dwarf gets an uncontrollable hunger to devour a being whole. He would eager to fight anyone with his matching physique on behalf of Thanatos during an attack that had his master at his side. In contrast with his siblings, he was apparently the least intelligent of the Thirteen Children by appearances how when he gets into a fight, as he initially used to communicate in grunts and growls. Even though he does not think in a fight he depends on his muscle memory and able to fight with pure instinct. When not able to control his hunger to devour, he recklessly attacks his foes head-on, which would be a trait that would cost him his life. The hungrier he gets the more reckless in battle he becomes completely arrogant in his abilities.

He hates it when his mechanical half takes over and would try to remove the computer, would it not end his life. Whenever he is not on missions and is in control over his hunger, Cull Dwarf sometimes question about his place in The New Order, and as a member of the Thirteen. But the thoughts of fighting and serving his adopted father gets in the way of this need to know his past as his sentience grows. Enough growth where it appears that Cull begins to develop his own sense of honor, to a certain degree. He would rather fight alone and win with his own strength against the enemy he wants to fight solo than fight alongside someone who could restrict him. He’d even allow his opponent to take an ally of theirs to heal so they can fight again sometime. If there should be a rival that earned his respect he will wish to fight them equally and will kill anyone, friend or foe who gets in his way of a fight that can satisfy his hunger.

When the mechanical part of his brain takes over: he hunts down a target with a habit of saying the name of his target or target organization, the louder and more emotional he says the name, the more it becomes personal for him. During this side of him, he cares only about completing a mission, and following the orders of his master. His mechanical half also keeps him from looking for someone to eat and remain on mission.
