Fiction:Drakis Geniomen

=History=

Early History
He was born in Moraelus, an underground city of the Gnovinem, a race of small humanoids who were physically frail though very smart. They prided themselves in their works of the mind, creating many philosophical texts as well as being great natural philosophers, however everything they did followed a strict code of ethics that dictated what they could and could not do. This child however, Drakis was always a dark one, as his birth caused his mother unimaginable pain, and even as a child, he enjoyed making weapons of pain and torture. Drakis' education was successful to say the least, and he gained his qualifications as an engineer and multiple doctorates before most of his peers had finished primary schooling. However, right as he was about to be awarded his umpteeph award for genius in invention, the Shiarchon came.

The Shiarchon raided through the town of Moraelus, quickly destroying the outskirts, although right at the gates of the palace, they were held off by the technological wizardry of the palace that had been created by Drakis. Drakis asked permission of the King in order to deploy a final murderous weapon against the Shiarchon, to crush their invading force at the cost of taking their souls away and putting them into eternal anguish, although the King, contemplating the morality of this, decided against it. This was the final straw for Drakis, many of his inventions having been rejected on different grounds, and soon he turned this weapon on the palace itself, killing the unprepared defenders. He then deactivated the defenses of the palace and waited for the Legion to come in. Patriarch Kalarah himself led the offensive inside only to find the smoking and decaying corpses of everyone inside, and wondered what had happened, till he found Drakis on the throne, cackling like a madman.

Conversing with Drakis, he found out that Drakis had betrayed his race as they would not let him test his more sinister inventions, and that Drakis had created the defenses which had kept his forces at bay for such a long period of time. His first thought was to strike down Drakis, to finish what had been started, but then he heard that Drakis would do anything in order to further his inventions and mad designs, something he believed, seeing that Drakis had just caused the extinction of his race. He then offered Drakis a chance at living, if only to serve the Legion with his weapons of war, something that Drakis accepted, and at that, Drakis kneeled to his new liege.
