M'Gilrma

A
former Magnificentus who dominated the element of shadow, now a member of
the Apex Dozen and a pawn of Tyranis.

## **History**

M'Gilrma
had once been the Magnificentus charged with forming a team of Magnificentus to
forge the Kravarius. His natural domination of shadow made him the
ideal candidate but, at this time, his personality was responsible and he
possessed considerable foresight, thus giving him wisdom over how the helm
should be created. He decreed that only a true master and practitioner of the
element of shadow should be able to don the helm, as any other being would be
unworthy and incapable of controlling the full capabilities of it. Hence the Kravarius
was forged, and he hid it inside a neutron star, where it was protected by a
null zone.

When
the Demonkin attacked
his reality, M'Gilrma was, at first, one of the Magnificentus sent to guard
Zenus and ensure his escape; however, he was accidentally affected by the
Divine Council's last-ditch effort to eject the Demonkin from their universe
and lost his abilities as a Magnificentus, being forced, then to stay with the
other two and hibernate beneath the surface of Nakonn. He considered it his
duty to try to keep the other two in line, and would later consider it his
personal failure that he could not.

When Tyranis launched his conquest against the Imperian
Confederacy, M'Gilrma awoke, along with his compatriots, as a result of the
turmoil caused by the conflict. Despite his best efforts, M'Gilrma could not
prevent Fechus from striking off alone or Zenzil from formulating a deadly
plague. Desperate to honor the memory of his fallen brethren, he sought after
the Kravarius, having sensed it had been removed from its resting place, and
found Tyranis. Determined that so evil a being should not use so powerful an artifact,
M'Gilrma attempted to best Tyranis and take the Kravarius from him-however, he
underestimated Tyranis' strength and was subdued. Instead of killing him, Tyranis
mentally dominated M'Gilrma and used him as a pawn to help form the Apex Dozen.

Along with his allies, M'Gilrma became one of the
Apex Dozen, intent on the revival of Tyranis, and guided by a hunger for his
past power. It is believed that his mind was irrevocably altered by Tyranis and
that little trace of his past personality remains. Tyranis was therefore able
to use M'Gilrma as a powerful warrior who slew many Erthus and conquered fringe
worlds throughout the Imperian Confederacy to harass their efforts. When last
seen, M'Gilrma was en route to Dachigah to recruit cutthroats for his newest
target.

## **Tools and Abilities**

When he was still a Magnificentus, M'Gilrma
possessed elemental shadow abilities to the tune of the Kravarius, hence why he
was able to infuse a mask with powers as such. He had some abilities over
teleportation and his physical form, which allowed him to 'blink' anywhere in
sight and to temporarily phase himself out of reality, through walls, upwards
through the air, and the like. After losing his status as a Magnificentus,
M'Gilrma still retained shadow capabilities, although not nearly as strong as Tyranis,
and kept his ability to phase through solid matter, although he was no longer
totally invulnerable whilst in this state.

As a Diabolith, he wore an enchanted helm which
would silence individuals, which he used to stop guards of cities he was
raiding from calling an alarm. He also carried a Shadow Sabre, one of Tyranis'
own inventions, which had an unbreakable blade which would cut through most
objects, although any contact with light energy would instantly dissipate it.

## **Personality**

M'Gilrma had always been an honorable, just Magnificentus,
who believed in the greater good and providing the best possible future for
their subjects. He spent large amounts of time in law enforcement and in
policing criminals, and took it upon himself to safeguard others as best he
could from the rampages of his two compatriots. However, when Tyranis mentally
altered him, he lost much of his former self and became a hollow, ruthless
conqueror, bent on obtaining more territories in the name of his master. It is
thought that M'Gilrma's mind has gone past the point of redemption and that his
former self cannot be restored.
