> "*Do you see now, Poseidon? I may not have won that day, admittedly. My army was defeated by the Council and forced into the dark recesses of space. But for generations, for millennia, for eons, I have been working toward my ultimate goal. That first battle was only the beginning. I swore an oath that day. No matter how long it took, no matter how many sacrifices I had to make, I would see my mission through. Just like you, I was cast aside as if I was nothing by the one I trusted most. He [either Ank or Cl'egius] will never see the light. He's too stubborn for that. There may still be hope for your friends, but in the end, it doesn't matter. This is the way. The only path we can take, my apprentice.*"

The Pillar Lord, referred to as Pillar Lord by some, is a malicious despot who has attempted to conquer reality multiple times. He is the emperor of the Pillar Imperium, Co-Founder of the Alliance, and the younger brother of Grand Pillar Cl'egius, leader of the Council of the Ancients. The Pillar Lord has made appearances multiple times in the Jonathan Crisis, usually in hologram form, and spends most of his time during the war directing his armies remotely from his own imperial palace.

## Character

The Pillar Lord is shown to be a giant Pillar - with beings such as PoseidonHeir and Ankarstian being shorter than one of his legs. The Pillar Lord is also one of the few Pillars able to change his facial expression.

While usually seen as a cruel tyrant, the Pillar Lord has (maligned) good intentions. These intentions are ones that he has to hide from Jonathan due to the fact that they include Jonathan's destruction. The only person who truly knows these intentions is PoseidonHeir - as PL used them to bring him to his side (TAL: Malevolence)

## History

### Early Life

In the early days of reality, eons and eons ago, the Pillar Lord was sculpted and brought to life by Grand Pillar Cl'egius, as he wanted a younger brother, and he was named Pl'egius (or Cl'egius Junior) after his older brother. Originally, they were the first two of the Pillars. When the Pillar Lord was a child, the two brothers were very close, but the Pillar Lord grew to envy the Grand Pillar because of how much power the latter held. The Grand Pillar withheld power from the Pillar Lord, because although he loved his little brother, he felt he wasn't mature enough to handle anything yet.

The Pillar Lord begged to differ. As he grew older he tried to prove himself to his brother many times, but the Grand Pillar wouldn't grant him any power yet. The reason was, although the Pillar Lord was constantly training to become strong enough for the power, the Grand Pillar was really testing him for wisdom with using it. The Pillar Lord never really understood this, and kept trying to prove himself by physical means only.

### Omniscronchulon War

Later, though still extremely early in the entire history of reality, the Omniscronchulon manifested as the spirit of chaos and evil throughout all the dimensions, and began their attack on all of existence. Because the Pillar Lord was strong, the Grand Pillar finally decided to grant the Pillar Lord some power, so he could help more against the Omniscronchulon. Gleefully accepting, the Pillar Lord helped greatly in defeating and banishing the Omniscronchulon, along with the Grand Pillar, The Creator, and the other members of the Council of the Ancients. However, in the final battle of that conflict, the Omniscronchulon struck the Pillar Lord with a beam that infused some of his evilness into the Pillar Lord.

### Turn to Evil

After the Omniscronchulon War, the Grand Pillar planned to remove the power he'd temporarily granted to the Pillar Lord, because he still hadn't shown wisdom. The Pillar Lord, now corrupted by the evil in his soul and the envy he'd held for years prior, snapped, believing his brother to be ungrateful for his help and no longer fit to rule reality. This is where he became evil. He sculpted the rest of the Pillars in secret, and plotted a swift takeover of the Capital Government.

The Council discovered this and put an end to the attempt. The Grand Pillar fought the Pillar Lord in battle, and since the Pillar Lord actually still possessed the bit of power given to him in the Omniscronchulon War, now enhanced by evil, he was managing to hold his own against the Grand Pillar for a while, but the Grand Pillar did eventually manage to banish him into a very remote dimension on the edge of reality. The Council and the Creator then banished the rest of the Pillars to the same dimension.

### First Pillar Imperium

Following the banishment of the Pillars, the Pillar Lord managed to regroup them and reform them into the Pillar Legion, declaring himself as Legate (which is the title of the commander of a legion in Roman times). At that time, the Pillar Legion was more of a warlord clique than an organized nation. The Pillar Lord began to strengthen the Legion, which eventually took over more dimensions nearby. Once they were bigger, the Pillar Lord reformed the Legion into the more organized First Pillar Imperium, abbreviated as the FPI, declaring himself emperor.

The FPI continued their expansion until the Capital Government and the Council of the Ancients realized the threat. They began a war with the FPI, but the Pillars were prepared, and forced them into a stalemate. That war soon ended in a white peace.

The FPI continued expanding throughout the eons, and fighting a vast assortment of wars with the Capital Government, which usually ended in stalemates followed by white peaces or minor losses for either side. The Pillars weren't cruel or oppressive to any non-Pillar residents in their territory, but were known to brainwash many of them with propaganda, thus making them ***TRUST*** the Pillars.

One of the main reasons why the FPI could hold off the Capital Government so many times was because the Capital Government's war effort was almost always headed by the Grand Pillar, and the Pillar Lord was able to predict a lot of his tactics due to their history. Since they knew each other well, neither could really catch the other off guard, which usually led to stalemates.

However, the last few of the wars between the FPI and the Capital Government began to weaken the FPI. The Grand Pillar had more advisors and strategists helping each time, who would come up with new tactics that the Pillar Lord couldn't predict. The FPI began to lose territory and strength one war after the other.

The final nail in the coffin was the last war between the FPI and Capital Government prior to the Orang Crusade, which was actually still centuries ago. This time, the Grand Pillar decided to appoint Lord Bread as the commander of the war effort for the Capital Government. Lord Bread was completely unpredictable to the Pillar Lord, as before the latter's banishment, the two had hardly known each other. Eventually, this war resulted in the destruction of nearly the entire Pillar Imperium, with the remnants disappearing.

The Grand Pillar once again fought the Pillar Lord, and although his younger brother put up even more of a fight than the first time, the Grand Pillar still emerged victorious. The Grand Pillar had a chance to kill the Pillar Lord, but couldn't bring himself to strike down his own brother. In the time he hesitated, the Pillar Lord managed to escape to an unknown dimension.

### Second Pillar Imperium and Plot With Orang

For centuries, the Pillars had disappeared to the public, and the First Pillar Imperium was gone. However, the remnants remained in hiding, regathering over centuries. The Pillar Lord managed to form the Second Pillar Imperium, which is informally known as simply "the Pillar Imperium". However, the Pillar Lord kept his new empire in far away dimensions with no other beings in order to not alert anyone else of their existence.

The Pillar Imperium continued to grow in power, while remaining in hiding, for hundreds of years. The Pillar Lord spent this time thinking of a new plan that could allow the Pillars to conquer reality, once and for all. He decided that in order to succeed, the Pillars needed the Octahedron of Transcendence, a powerful artifact in reality that increases the power of its wielder dramatically.

A being called Meme Man was prophesied to wield the Octahedron. The Pillar Lord knew this, and enlisted another being called Orang to deceive Meme Man to take the Octahedron. Their original deal was that once Orang had the Octahedron, he would split its power between himself and the Pillar Lord, allowing them to rule over reality as equals. Then, the plan was put into motion.

First of all, the Pillar Lord, who had grown his mental abilities substantially over the many years, managed to take control of the Grand Pillar's mind temporarily, to ensure the Council would not intervene in this plan. Then, the Grand Pillar, under the Pillar Lord's control, banished Meme Man to Yamnation, allowing Orang to meet up with him and take him on a quest to acquire the Octahedron.

Through this plan, Orang managed to acquire the Octahedron and absorb its power, becoming an extremely powerful being known as a "Transcendent". He betrayed Meme Man and unleashed the Vegetal Horde, a massive group of chaotic beings known as Vegetals which he could control, on reality, thus beginning the Orang Crusade. Meme Man tried to stop him then, but was knocked into another dimension and went into a coma for ten or so months. (Riddle of the Rocks)

### Orang Crusade

Now Orang possessed immense power with the Octahedron, commanding the Vegetal Horde and being a Transcendent. However, the Pillar Lord still demanded he fulfill the deal and split the power. Orang decided to be greedy and keep everything to himself. The Pillar Lord was furious, but Orang was too powerful for him to do anything. Orang proceeded to order the Pillars around, and while they hated this, they had no choice. At this time, the existence of the new Pillar Imperium became public.

The Pillar Lord, through controlling Grand Pillar Cl'egius, leader of the Council of the Ancients, told to the citizens that the Orang Crusade was a rumour. Many did not believe him, including the rest of the Council, but they didn't object because of how powerful the Grand Pillar was. The Grand Pillar also ordered the IAF to ignore the conflict. PoseidonHeir, an IAF General, refused, and condemned the Grand Pillar for lying about the war, before proceeding to order the troops under his command to begin fighting Orang's forces. More of the IAF began to mutiny and disobey the Grand Pillar, forming the Defenders Against Orang, the main defense force of the dimensions against Orang's wrath.

At the end of the war, the Omniscronchulon, who had once attacked reality before but had been banished, had reawakened. The Omniscronchulon temporarily wreaked havoc, but Meme Man and Orang managed to work together in order to re-banish it and save reality.

Orang felt guilty about his actions and surrendered to the DAO. Realizing hope was lost, the Pillar Imperium surrendered, and retreated into the far out dimensions, not to be seen again until the Jonathan Crisis. The Vegetal Horde was quickly banished by the Council of the Ancients and IAF who intervened to get rid of them once the Pillar Lord released his control on the Grand Pillar. (Riddle of the Rocks 2)

### The Jonathan Crisis

As the malicious being Jonathan began to grow in power, he reached out to the Pillar Lord and claimed he could help him take over all of existence. The Pillar Lord wanted two things - complete control over reality and revenge on Orang for undermining the Pillars. Jonathan promised both with his help. Soon after the formation of the Resistance, the Pillar Lord and Jonathan signed their own alliance, aptly named "The Alliance". And thus began the Jonathan Crisis. (TAL: Into the Dusk)

At some point not long after, the Eversiscendants joined the Alliance, though their exact motives for doing so remain unclear. (TAL: Homeworld) They often exchanged encrypted messages with the Pillars about their plans, although some of these were found by Investigator Rog'tor and other Resistance operatives.

### Retconned events

The Pillar Lord is known to have directly communicated the Eversiscendants over the course of the war. The first time he appeared to the Resistance was as a hologram as he spoke to Thorn during the battle at the Eversiscendant headquarters. The Pillar Lord told Thorn to ensure the leaders of the Resistance, who were, at that moment, trapped inside the headquarters, would live. He also sent a fleet of Pillar warships to assist the Eversiscendants at the headquarters. Due to the reinforcements, and the headquarters' full functions being activated, the Resistance leaders were forced to flee.

Later, the Pillar Lord arrived in person to oversee the Eversiscendants' interrogation of PoseidonHeir, after their robots managed to capture him. After a few attempts to use physical torture by Beanley, Dr. DEMOLISH Adriano, and Cubeson, the Pillar Lord convinced them that it was unnecessary, and instead used his mental abilities to hypnotize PoseidonHeir. PoseidonHeir, now under the Pillar Lord's influence, faked his escape and returned to RCARS with a bug which would tell the Alliance of the base's location.

Thanks to Ankarstian and TheGreaterA, PoseidonHeir was de-hypnotized and returned to normal, but the location of RCARS had already been transmitted. Upon receiving the location, the Pillar Lord sent a fleet of fifty Pillar warships led by Admiral Quartz to attack RCARS, which began the fateful battle.

The Pillar Lord, appearing in hologram form at RCARS, gave the Resistance leaders an ultimatum to surrender themselves and the base to the Alliance, while all the other personnel would be allowed to escape. The Resistance leaders refused to surrender, so the Pillar Lord ordered Quartz to commence the assault.

Quartz had his fleet begin a barrage of rapidfire on RCARS' defenses, and with help from the Eversiscendants and their arsenal of devices, began to chip away at said defenses. Despite the defenders' best efforts and tactics, the base was still presumably destroyed by the Ultrascronch Beam, although all the personnel escaped prior.

The Pillar Lord has not appeared since, though he has been helping direct the war effort for the Alliance in the Battle of Ardonia.

## Quotes

* I would like to elaborate on what my friend said. Here is the ultimatum. Everyone on this base must evacuate it and hand it over to us, and all the Resistance leaders must be given to us as well while the rest of you go free. I am in a generous mood today, so don't ruin it now. The largest fleet in the entire Pillar navy is at your doorstep. So I implore you to choose wisely.
