Fiction:The Empyreans/Atar

'''"All knowledge of the world is within my reach. No matter how minuscule, no matter how unimportant, I must know all."  The Chapter of Atar, The Empyrean Collective'''

Atar is the twin of Axia as well as a member of the Collective. Atar is also known as the Axis, the Emotionless and the Calculated. He occupies the Sphere of Knowledge and the Sphere of Logical Analysis, the former of which is countered by his sister's Sphere of Forbidden Knowledge.

Known to value logic, he is one of the more well-known Columni. When compared to the other Columni, Atar does not dabble too often in the lives of mortals. However, it is known that by one way or the other, he fathered a daughter named Alessia.

He, along with his sibling, created the plane known as Scrinia Scientiam

History
As all other true Lux Columni, Atar was created by the Nubila Mist, specifically from its light component. It is possible that Atar represents the knowledge that mortals are supposed to know whereas Axia represents the knowledge that mortals cannot know.

Sometime after the Civil War, Atar had romantic relations with a mortal. From this brief, one-time encounter, his daughter Alessia was born.

Depiction
Atar has always been depicted as a spectral bird of some sort, most usually an owl. This is sad to represent the knowledge and wisdom of the skies. Conversely, Axia has been depicted as a spectral serpent, representing the forbidden knowledge of the earth.

Personality
While he is considered to be one of the more calm and reasonable Empyreans, he is known for forcing mortals to serve him and, once these mortals had outlived their usefulness, shutting himself off to them completely.

However, he does have a soft spot for his daughter, Alessia though it is very rare to see this side of him.

Abilties
His Spheres of Knowledge and Logical Analysis make him a dangerous being to annoy. With his Sphere of Knowledge he has the ability to corrupt the minds of mortals with too much information, and this often times makes the targets go insane.

While used less often, the Sphere of Logical Analysis can be used to determine the most efficient way to perform an action. Namely, a mass genocide.
