Huh'xhu-unn

Comic

* Chapter 45

## **Huh'xhu-unn, The Operator**

Like all spectres Huh'xhu-unn is in 89% pure energy. His body is mostly made out of semi-transparent blue fog shaped in humanoid form with long slender limbs. Since his involvement with Satran Archive Huh covers his entire body with dark robes to prevent anyone from learning his true looks. Years of living among humans made him especially attuned to the ways human mind works which combined with his natural spectre magical abilities lets him to freely "read" minds and memories of anyone in his close proximity. Huh is a master of energy manipulation and can even harness the energy out of memories. He prefers quiet and effective magic, with his favorite method of dealing with unwanted attention being manipulating one's memories to overload their mind and made them faint or, if he needs to, cause permanent brain damage.

## **Story**

The continent on the north known as Kharr Desert is associated by most with, well... kharr. Countless ages ago however the desert was home for energy-based beings whose ancient name translates as spectres. With their bodies based on pure energy and only their skeletons made out of physical matter, spectres were immune to deadly sunlight and thrived in the places where no other living things could. Their towers were great and their magical prowess unmatchet, yet about 2 to 3 thousand years ago the entire spectrekind died in a long forgotten catastrophe. No living thing remembers what really happened back then, neither the oldest eternal ones... neither none of the few remaining spectres.

Last survivors of this ancient race scattered through entire Greavesoyl. Years passed and spectres became just a rumor you would hear in a tavern, rumors turned into fairy tales, fairy tales into legends, until even the legends were forgotten. Spectres remained, hidden and desolated, with some of them becoming a local stories. And one who became one of the most recognisable figures in New Satra.

Mysterious Operator who runs The Main Archive of Satra is in fact a spectre, although only the highest rank archivists know about this. He founded the archive in order to gather and preserve all knowledge, and to keep it for future generations - that's what the *official* goal of The Archive is. He rarely shows in public, but his mask became a symbol associated with knowledge. He doesn't talk much, but everyone knows and respects him. He trusts only few, but all of Greavesoyl trusts The Archive. And for ages he isolated himself and suppressed his emotions until every eternal one in New Satra could feel it. At some point even mortal archivists could see that something is very wrong with their leader.

Only after an archivist named Zeran asked him directly for the first time in centuries The Operator shared his past with anyone. Talking with another person helped to calm his mind and since then he and Zeran became the closest thing to a friend the old spectre had since he could remember. Operator became a bit more open and even after Zeran's death many years later he still occasionally chats with people when he feels that he needs to.

The leader of Main Archive still holds many secrets, but high rank archive employees know few things about him. They know that Operator's true name is Huh'xhu-unn, but barely anyone can pronounce it. They know that the Archive Tower was build to resemble ancient spectre architecture. And they know that preserving knowledge is Huh's secondary goal, primary being uncovering what was lost to the history in hope to find anything related to *the purple enemy* Huh mentioned only once and refused to elaborate.

Who the purple enemy is and what happened to spectres are for now a questions without answers.

## **In-game**

Huh'xhu-unn is a glass cannon in the purest form. All of his abilities deal damage and he lacks a melee basic attack which means he is defenceless against anyone who can close the gap or survive his burst (although not many can). He works best when paired with a tank who focuses on protecting him so he can focus purely on dealing damage to his enemies.

Abilities
This projectile stops at the first enemy player, but pierces through enemy minions
 Form of Knowledge
After 1.5 second Sphere launches 3 damaging projectiles at the closest enemy, with 1 second between each projectile
 Brain Damage
Dealing any damage with Huh'xhu-unn's abilities to enemies affected with Mind Rot deals additional 5 damage over time
When the projectile hits Memory Sphere it is redirected at the closest enemy
