## Biography

### Joining of the Vampires (892,580,230 BR)

Called in by 'his father' to make a stand against the forces of the Protas, that were threatening to overtake the infection and feeding grounds that **Gna-Limer** was currently using. The battle was overwhelmingly in the Protas' favor as both of the Prime Protas participated in it, with The Source dealing the killing blow to **Gna-Limer** while **Nag-Sarg** and his siblings were cornered by **Asherah**, Zarkash-Yomqu's sister **D'Hoomaumis** fell to her knees begging the goddess to spare her and her siblings lives. The two Prime Protas talked for a bit, with The Source agreeing to spare **D'Hoomaumis** and her siblings that showed intelligence and restraint. Together the Primes purified the corrupting influence of the Cosmic Horrors from the siblings. **D'Hoomaumis** pledged her eternal loyalty to Asherah with herself and her siblings (and their spawn) participating in the rest of the Protas-Cosmic Horror War on the side of the Protas.
