Kalymnor

**First Appearance** | Artificials Part 4

In 2006 Kalymnor was an Aran born with Steel powers. He is the son of Spyke and the grandson of Salvy, two Steel users known for their work as part of the Telperion Government. Nothing is known about Kalymnor's mother.

Kalymnor accompanied Spyke to Earth where he met the Artificials. He quickly idolised the Artificials and their seemingly unmatched power.

In 2021 Spyke was killed by Flatiner, fighting alongside the Artificals, leaving Kalymnor without a parent at the age of fifteen.

In 2030, when he was twenty-four years old, Kalymnor became a CPO, wanting to fight criminals like the Artificials, he was partnered and mentored with the Artificial Rhys, a fellow Steel user.

In 2033 Kalymnor faced an embarrassing public defeat as he tried to fight the Black Sticol alone, rather than waiting for backup.

A few weeks later a group of students from Drakeboss Academy went missing, Kalymnor and Rhys were assigned to find them. Kalymnor found the Aran scientist Herget and learned that he had kidnapped the students to turn them into Artificials. Rather than apprehend Herget, Kalymnor begged Herget to turn him into an Artificial so that he could become more powerful, still suffering from the hurt pride of his fight with the Black Sticol.

Herget's Artificial experiment was performed differently to Jungle's, and as such the experiment created a different lifeform, which would later be named Ascendants.

Kalymnor quickly took on the leadership role of the Ascendants, being the oldest and most experienced member of their team. With his new Beauty powers and a few lessons from Bruno, he was able to defeat and kill the Black Sticol. Bruno becomes the teacher of the Ascendants, personally watching over their training.

The first mission the Ascendants had was to hunt down a group of highly dangerous rebels from the Trench gang, Kalymnor killed one member of the Trench gang and absorbed his spirit and Fire powers. He then fought and killed Mia, also taking her spirit and Sand powers.

Kalymnor's mentor Rhys is killed by the Aran criminal, Steve.

In 2034 the gateway to Hell was opened once again and Kalymnor lead the Ascendants into battle. He met the Steel Aran Stephanie, an expert fighter who offered to mentor Kalymnor and help him become a greater fighter.

In 2035 Lucifer created a fighting tournament to allow for any warrior to try and kill him. Naturally Kalymnor was one of the entrants, hoping to save the universe from Lucifer as the Artificials once did. Stephanie is killed by Lucifer in the second round and Kalymnor swears revenge. Bruno defeats Kalymnor in the tournament, after the battle he passes Bruno's Staff on to Kalymnor, refusing to take it into his next round fight against Lucifer.

Kalymnor watches on as Bruno is also killed by Lucifer, leaving Kalymnor without a mentor once again.

Kalymnor assists Evident in his fight against Garth, allowing Evident to access Legend powers for a short time by giving him his beauty powers.

Between 2035 and 2040 Kaylmnor researched the Artificial Experiment on Jiuen and attempted to recreate it with Sticol, creating Eric the Sticol.

In 2040 during a large fight Kalymnor attempted to kill the Switcher Dak, however was not aware that his spirit had been switched with Ultray and instead killed one of his strongest allies. Kalymnor then killed the Max, taking his Mastery powers. During this fight Bruno's Staff was broken in two, Kaylmnor used the two halves as batons from here onwards, dubbing the weapon as the Hydra Staff.

When Matt became President of Telperion he declared all Ascendants as power hungry and threats to peace. Kalymnor was forced into hiding with the other Ascendants and their allies.

In 2060 when Matt's elite warriors finally found the Ascendants, they were left with no choice but to fight back against Matt. Kalymnor lead the last surviving Ascendants to war against Telperion, and fought alone against DesoBio, defeating him and leaving him trapped beneath the planet Telperion.

The Ascendant Victoria killed Matt and took his place as Ruler of Telperion. Completely outmatched by Victoria, Kalymnor was forced to flee.

Kalymnor joined Stewart, Hunter, Larry and Flatiner on the Goliath as they left the known universe in the hopes that Victoria would leave them alone.
