Fiction:Glacier

"And yet you think you did stand a chance against me. You never had. I am an Incubus, the strongest kind of warriors Raptoranens have to offer. And my heart is cold. Very cold. When my wife died, so have my last feelings for those that oppose me. And like my wife, so will you die. Slowly. Very slowly."

- Glacier

Glacier is a Raptoranean, a member of the Unitech Citadel of Sentients. He is Solid's second-in-command and a close friend of him and many other Proditkar leaders. He has fought countless battles and killed many of his foes. Though a professional killer with absolutely no mercy or moral restraints, Glacier suffers from an extreme combat drug addiction, which is both a mental and physical detriment.

Early Life
Glacier, originally known as Ther'ish, was a devout member of the Waptoria Alliance of Species. W'tze himself saw great potential in the boy. He grew fast in strength, skill, and intelligence. He helped fight off the VineClaw Clan and Chageling Hive-Fleet raids. Due to his skill, he was trained as an Incubus, and given genetic upgrades that made his physical appearance simply look perfect to most other species. Given further upgrades that enhanced his senses and strenth, Ter'ish, like many Incubi, soon became a master of both sweet-talking and war.

Eventually, Ter'ish took a mate. She had a highly unusual genetic defect where she could not heal very well. Normally, Raptoraneans have high regeneration abilities, but this girl did not. Countless Waptoria medical treatments helped none, and caused her body to become frail and delicate. But Ter'ish loved her anyway. Then one day she suffered a horrific injury that was completely an accident. There was nothing to be done, and Ter'ish held her hand as she bled to death. From then on, Ter'ish developed a deep hatred of the Alliance, believing that it was their fault she became so weak, and that they could have saved her if they put only an inch of more effort in her.

Later on, he was approached by Solid, the clone of W'tze and top operative of the Unitech Citadel of Sapients. He offered him a position in the Citadel. Ter'ish accepted, but only on one condition. He wanted to kill the doctors who had experimented on his mate. Solid agreed, and Ter'ish slaughtered them without mercy. He then joined unconditionally. Instead of becoming a member of the Dark Raptoranean shrines to Si'nesh, Ter'ish would be taken under the wing of Solid, who trained him personally in the raiding and morale-breaking tactics of Unitech. Glacier eagerly took it all in, and became extremely skilled, almost a match for Solid himself. He abandoned all of his former Waptoria ideals and completely embraced the mindset of Unitech, swapping in his war-suit for one used by Unitech Incubi, adorned with screaming and moaning faces, and ritually disfiguring his once perfect appearance like many Dark Incubi. In his case, he slightly stabbed himself various times, and then locked himself up in a cryo chamber. The pain to feel his own blood that poured out of his wounds freezing and to feel frost rime form on his bare skin was excruciating, yet, as Solid advised him, he used this to sharpen his mind further, and completely focus on vengeance. When he exited, he was Ter'ish no longer. The infamous, legendary Incubus simply known as Glacier was born, and he would strike fear in the hearts of his foes forever after.

War of Tyris Major
In what would be his first war, Glacier helped his Unitech allies and the Biskin build the Galactic Devastation Ray to destroy King Ziskin's enemies. When the allied forces attacked the base where the GDR was being kept, Glacier took his forces into battle, killing several of his enemies. He even clashed with Oji'b and beat him, though he was driven off by King Pulporious before he could kill him. When he found out that W'tze, who had been captured earlier, had been rescued, he went off to find him. He could not, however, and was distracted by the Antroths fleeing the battle. Rightly believing them to be traitors, he tried to chase down Queen Si'daal. He was too late, though, finding only King Viral's body. He then got the call from Solid to retreat. Seeing no other option, and not about to disobey orders, Glacier left along with his forces. He later learned that the GDR had been destroyed and Ziskin killed. He was disappointed, as he had come to like Ziskin, though he was repulsed by Viral. He swore to hunt down and kill the Antroths.

Nebulorian-Alpha War
Later, he went with Solid when he set out to join the Nebulorians. He met up with the Dead Watchers and their leaders, Tox Cano and Lorka Gredyc. He also met the Nebulorian leader, Ne'yon. He liked Lorka and Ne'yon but immediately hated Tox Cano, believing him to be a coward. Still, he faithfully followed Solid's instructions when he was ordered to attack Militora, the Soldarian homeworld. He was eager to go, after Pulporious' defeat of him in the previous war. He, alongside his fellow Dark Incubi and Dark Succubi, fought alongside Lorka's Dead Watchers and was very effective against the planet's defenses. He and his forces fled when the Meeno Grox showed up, but later returned in time to see Ne'yon kill Bengo Flett. He was very satisfied about killing Soldarians. He went to the homeworld of the S'actha Republic to defend to Spear of Apocalypse. When the allied forces reached the Spear, he was able to keep several squads of enemy forces from advancing, by himself. He didn't care at all when the Dark One killed Tox, and retreated alongside his allies before the Spear was destroyed, later coming back to salvage as much Nebulorian technology as possible.

Second Infectant War
While the Unitech Citadel did not participate in the Second Infectant War, Solid sent Glacier to investigate the goings-on. He was present at the final battle, when the Infectant leader Hive-Mind was killed. He didn't stick around, though, instead he gathered some samples of Infectant DNA and fled.

Second Ascon Civil War
Glacier would fight alongside the Dead Watchers once again when Unitech went to assist the Volver rebel known as Crimson in his plot to take over the empire. Alongside the Dead Watchers, Gigapedus Dominion, and Knights of Ascon, Glacier and the rest of Unitech captured Ascon. When the UFG arrived to retake the planet, Glacier commanded part of the Unitech fleet from space, using his tactical skills to decimate some squadrons of the Centapedus fleet, who had become involved because of the Gigapedus. He then turned his attention to the Antroth fleet, with whom he had an intense hatred of. Unable to destroy Si'Daal's flagship from space, he took a force of Dark Cambion and boarded her ship. He nearly slaughtered Si'daal's personal retinue before Si'daal stepped in and engaged Glacier directly. At the time, the flagship was entering the atmosphere to provide cover fire. After a long fight, Glacier managed to flash-freze Si'daal with his cyro netgun. Before he could kill her with his Djin blades, she blasted him with a spell and sent him crashing through the window of the ship. Using the jetpack he had recieved from the Dead Watchers and attached to his Incubus armor, he survived the fall and joined the attack on the surface. He fought several groups of Antroth warriors and managed to wade trough them to their commander, Oskel, before the Volver piece known as Knight arrived. After Knight killed the Synths guarding the palace, Glacier attacked him, but suffered a slash to his chest and was forced to retreat. Afterwards, he learned that the battle was lost. Enduring the blow, Glacier simply swore to kill Knight with utter calm, before retreating.

Enlightenment War
Soon after, the Separatists went searching for an ancient Enlightened One artifact called a Marker. He was present when the Marker was found and taken to the Citadel. Glacier witnessed the resurrection of the Biskin and was pleased. Soon after, Glacier went with the rest of Unitech to Ugandalore, alongside the Alpha Cyber Collective. Glacier didn't like the Collective, but saw them as a neccessary part of the plan. He did like the Bio-Morphlings, however, calling them as dead as he was. On the battlefield, he fought alongside Morphlings, Synths, Dead Watchers, Gigapedus, and Volver Tribesmen that Crimson had recreated with the Marker. During the first engagement, he personally killed hundreds of UFG troops. Once Knight arrived and defeated the first Separatist attack wave, Glacier attacked him again, actually managing to injure him. He was unable to prevent him from defeating the Volver Braves and King Ziskin, however. When the UFG took Knight captive, he simply left to the next battlefield, continuing his spread of terror amongst the civilian population. Then, the Enlightened Ones' mothership rose from the sea. He went with Lorka Gredyc and a Unitech strike team to destroy it. Inside, Pridar'Valicar, leader of the Proditkar Movement, converted Lorka to his cause. Glacier, skeptical at first, agreed to join him. Afterward, he fought both UFG and Cyber Collective forces. He was more than happy to fight the Grox, seeing them as weaklings who hide behind machines. He easily wiped out whole squads of Conqrix and lead huge amounts of Marauders, tribal creatures enslaved by the Movement, as well as Synths, Cambion and Incubi, against the UFG and Mirusian Church. When the Volver fleet arrived to defend the planet, he took to a frigate and covered the Circle of Sins bombers, entering the atmosphere by shooting down Volver fighters and interceptors. Finally, once the battle was lost, he fled alongside his allies. Later, the Volver piece Bishop would inform him, Solid, Ghetsin, Lorka, Maccasin, and the Proditkar highlords of the UFG's impending attack on the Kashriinox station. He was eager for battle, wanting to destroy the UFG and steal the Kashriinox technology. However, the Highlords told him and the others that they could not participate. Glacier obeyed, knowing to trust the judgement of his superiors. When the highlords were captured, he aided Solid in keeping the Seperatists together by reforming the Proditkar Movement and lowering the overal dominace of the rogue Multus over the other rebels. After the battle was won by the proto-UAE, under Solid's orders, he snuck aboard the Kashriinox station and salvaged as much tech as he could get his hands on. However, believing that the UAE kept then busy, Glacier arrogantly descided to venture deep into the station out in the open, resulting in him being was paralyzed by a Kashriinox nanobot cloud and attacked by the Kashriinox themselves. Glacier mananged to get out, but only barely, and with far less tech than Solid hoped. Still, Solid only lightly berated Glacier for his arrogance, as the Incubus took matters in his own hands and punished himself by enduring bitter colds for several hours, causing some of his body parts to nearly die off from the cold, and his skin to be blistered by the sheer freezing temperatures. However, once again displaying his strong willpower, Glacier pulled himself through, swearing not to fail again. Solid said nothing, believing the self-punishment of his trainee to be a bit harsh, but liked his renewed zeal anyways.

Return of THEM
During Xizothano Ada's return, the Nebulorians approached the Proditkar and asked for their allegiance. Unitech accepted, but then the Nebulorians attacked them because Solid had destroyed the Spear of Apocalypse's remains. Glacier helped defend their base and drive the Nebulorians away. He then came with the rest of the Proditkar when they journeyed to Matrukoris. Initially, he was not open to an alliance, but when Ziskin, Solid, and the others agreed, Glacier went along. He then fought against Ada's forces, the most gleefully against the Infectants, and more grudgingly against the Nebulorians. He defended Matrukoris alongside the other Proditkar and was successful in defending his sector. He then went with the rest of the UAE and Proditkar when they attacked the Abyssal Domain. He managed to bear witness Ada's downfall and absorbtion by the Dark One. He was disappointed that he did not get any of Ada's essence, but was glad he was defeated and did manage to salvage lots of Nebulorian tech and Infectant DNA samples.

Gigaquadrantic Conflicts
During a time of conflict throughout Mirus, many new separatist organizations sprang up, and the Proditkar set out to either ally them, or recruit them by force. The first was the Hive of Mirus. Solid was successful in getting their leader, Kadnig Zeleke, to ally with them, and Glacier would eventually become close friends with Zeleke. Then came the Vanara Singuarity. Glacier did not trust them at all, and partnered with them only with the intention of stealing from them. The Blood Knights were next. When Solid and Lorka asked their leader, Anthil Agna, for his allegiance, Agna almost killed them, but eventually agreed to join them. Glacier quickly gained respect for the savage Great Knight, learning that he had killed Lavern of the Lavatufts single-handedly. Glacier would later attempt to befriend Anthil, but was rejected due to Anthil's distrust of outsiders. The Separatists were also joined by Dark Hunter and his Cult of Relgathia, longtime allies of the Proditkar. Glacier held the Hunter in high opinion, and told him that he would help him destroy both the Zarbania Powers and the UFG after the Conflicts were over.

To be continued...

Separatist War
After the Conflicts had ended, a new war quickly arose. Ghetsin, the leader of the Circle of Sins, would set some plans in motion which he hoped would rip both the Waptoria and Mirusian Church apart. Glacier, being on a much longer leash than most members of Unitech, would participate in the war a lot more than the rest of Unitech would.

Alpha Rosetta III
A Separatist expeditionary force consisting of the Unitech Citadel, Hive of Mirus, Ruin's Hand, Blood Knights, and Circle of Sins, stumbled upon a frozen planet and it's moon that used to be a joint research station between the Alpha Cyber Collective and Brotherhood of Darklings. The planet, Alpha Rosetta III, was surrounded by several derelict Zarbania Powers ships. Upon further investigation, they discovered hundreds of dormant Bio-Morphlings on board, that had slaughtered and infected the crew. Though several of the Separatists wanted to destroy them, Glacier decided not to, seeing them as a useful defense if someone were to happen upon the system. Down on the surface, the Circle and Unitech found frozen creatures called Nexus Heads and thawed them out. Seeing potential, the two groups started to experiment on them. Glacier aided them in creating the Nexus King strain, but then found something far more interesting on the planet's moon, Tau Theta.

On the moon was an old, abandoned Cyber Collective base. Inside, they discovered huge caches of Grox nanobots, a Bio-Morphling Marker, as well as Morphling DNA samples and several frozen specimens. But the most interesting thing was the Plaganium, a metal that generates a nearly-impenetrable energy field when activated. So the Circle set up a base on the planet, the Hive of Mirus blockaded the system, and the Blood Knights set up on the moon. Ruin's Hand and Unitech left to continue their operations.

After Ghetsin's defeat, he left for the security of Rosetta III. However, the UAE captured a Circle ship and backtracked the navicomputer, finding the planet's location. They geared up a huge invasion fleet and arrived in the system. Glacier told the Hive fleet to hold back. The UAE boarded the Zarbania ships and were soon attacked by the reawakened Bio-Morphlings. Glacier, in command of the Unitech fleet, did send out Unitech Flesh-Craft Soldiers to attack the UAE leaders on the ships. At the same time, the Bio-Morphlings began throwing themselves through space to attack the UAE's fleets. The Hive then came out of hiding and began firing on the enemy fleet. Glacier waited, having the trap set. The UAE's leaders and most of their armies made it to the surface of the planet. After the Hive fleet was weakened, Glacier had a Blood Knight fleet come from around the moon and attacked directly, commanding the battle from a flagship. After severely weakening the enemy fleet, Glacier did send various Unitech Grotesques and Flesh-Engines of Agony to destroy the UAE's flagship. They succeeded, but the pilots sent the ship into hyperspace, ramming Glacier's ship and destroying it. Glacier escaped in a pod just in time, landing on the planet below. He linked up with his allies, but was too late to prevent the UAE forces from riding the gravity elevator up to the moon. Glacier followed back to the Cyber Collective base and began coordinating the Circle and Hive troops to defend the station. The Blood Knights ditched the rest of the separatists, but Glacier told them to hold position. When they refused, Glacier swore he'd kill them if they left. However, Ghetsin told him to let them go, and he did.

He then received orders to abandon the planet. He complied, and to buy time to get to the awaiting Hive of Mirus fleet, ordered several Bio-Morphlings released into the base. The Blood Knights left with the Plaganium, and Ghetsin made off with a huge amount of Nanomachines. Glacier, giving up, activated the base's self-destruct, gathered the Morphling Marker and all the samples and specimens he could, and left to his ship. He then evacuated a huge amount of Nexus Heads and fled as Tau Theta was slammed into the planet by the collapsing gravity elevator. Glacier and Ghetsin then joined up with the Unitech and Ruin's Hand fleets that entered the system. He delivered the Morphling Marker and samples, but the Separatists had no interest in them, or, in the case of the Ruin's hand, were downright repulsed by the thought of fighting alongside the Morphlings again; and ordered them destroyed. Glacier was less than pleased, but complied anyway. However, when he destroyed the Marker, he kept a piece of it. Any little piece of the Marker holds the same power as a whole one. Glacier kept a small shard of it, believing that it could prove useful sometime in the future. Glacier then went down with various Unitech Synths team to see what could be salvaged from the wreckage of the planet and moon. He found a cryo tube with a strange creature frozen inside. He and his team brought it on board. Examining it, they found it did not match any known lifeform. Later, the creature freed itself from the tube as it thawed, and hacked the ship's computers to gain new information. Glacier, Solid, and Lorka showed up with a Dead Watcher force to stop it, but Solid attempted to negotiate with it. The creature called itself the Scavenger, a lifeform that assimilates and imitates others. Intrigued, Solid allied with it, and told Glacier to get the creature up to speed. Glacier reluctantly told the Scavenger everything about current events and who the Proditkar were. The Scavenger was interested, and Glacier would later help it colonize a planet by assimilating all other life on it. Glacier was extremely impressed.

Appearance
Glacier was always considered a prime specimen of his species, and after his Incubus alterations, was considered absolutely gorgeous. After he joined the Dark Incubi, he scarred himself and exposed the wounds to extreme cold, leaving nasty scars all over his body. He also genetically mutated himself. The mutations did not really affect his perfect appearance, but it did give him dark red eyes and a larger muscle mass. He also gained at least two feet in height, now towering over most Waptoria Raptoraeneans.
