Anubius, with his scythes: Duaj and Sefe

Anubius makes up a core part of Aker, not only by name of course, but this has led to him calling his scythes Duaj "Tomorrow" and Sefe "Yesterday".

'Unshackled'

There can be no doubt that justice was destined, and the war with Apophis needed to end. A war the Great Golden could not partake, and so his throne is left to his son, Amuntutankh. Vlykerios, who once served under the same reign, would be the one to sever it and form anew the Order of Unity.

"Into Fathomless Slumber"

Tau returns to Nahat, the city of Eternal Night, to win the favor of Wepwawet, the god of shattered moons! Clad with shimmering gold armor and the sickly Nightscourge.

[reterion]

Amuntutankh or Tau for short, son of the great Ekhennata!

The battle-obsessed son of Ekhennata: Amuntutankh, commonly referred to as Tau, wields a spear infused with Nightscourge, seen as a seeping 'wound' dripping with profane flames.

[reterion]

Ekhennata, the Great and Golden

The great golden Pharaoh of all stars charted. Apophis bares no concern to him, for he has seen something far greater… His voice Ripples across the universe, Ekhennata has spoken: “We as people walk in ignorance to the crypt of existence itself.”

Ekhennata, the Golden Pharaoh, he sits atop his throne as war rages across the universe. His inaction has long caught up with him and now he will be judged for the many lives lost under his rule. However, Ekhennata warns that his actions were just, that another threat is impending and all those lost to Apophis needed to be sacrificed. By the marks on his face it is clear that he's seen into the Duat, but to Anubius, Vlyke and the Yafayaer, his rambling is inane. The dead will not so easily forgive him.

Golden Pharaoh Ekhennata and the Osiris Blade

Not much is known of Ekhennata, besides the fact that his ancestry is that of the royal blood of Ekhen and that he was most likely born on Waseti, homeworld and centerpiece of the Ketavi. His name Ekhennata means “Satisfied” and his role is to unify the galaxy, as were the roles of the previous two Pharaohs in the passing of the Ketavi Dominion.

Note his Duat scars, suggesting he himself has partaken of the profane act that is entering the Duat without a vessel.

"Hope of the Halved"

Serovos and his guardian spirit Freya, the one who gave him his treasured amulet. He swore an oath that day to ensure others would have the chance she gave him. His name means "He who is severed", an honorary name for those who have suffered great loss.

[reterion]

Serovos, Warrior of Thoth

Serovos is of a species known as Miltan, however he has a few Draconis features like Vlyke, as his father was a Draconis. Typically Miltan-Draconis relationships are rare and scrutinized, but compatibility is high despite the judgement of others. This white furred Miltan has the tribal markings of Thoth-followers, and has a keen experience with healing mediums such as the petals of the Edentree. His amulet is said to contain the spirit of a Yafayaer who saved him in his youth, and so, he has sworn to help all those he can in his coming of age.

Miltan come from the world of Rivenankh, their whiskers can feel the emotions of others, making them a very compassionate and empathetic species, Serovos himself will comfort those in grief whenever he gets the chance.

Virtue's End

Virtue has found the divine gate, a place created to pull out True Death from the Duat. In these moments his blind faith has led him to a crippling demise, but still he rejoices: "We have seen His crypt, the Holy Star, shining brighter than all others. Our joints are eroding, this journey lasted millennia, but now we can see clearly. God is born, our divinity is at hand. We will not yield the passage to you. Only forward, Onward to One, His Heaven."

Virtue, follower of Helios

Virtue, perhaps the most enigmatic in the Order of Aker, existed for over 4 millenniums. His personality, much like most of the other Harvested are said to have come from the Duat, a deep zeal for a god they call "Helios", which most have inferred must be Ra or Aten. They believe this to be the only true god and that it has yet to awaken from the Duat, this would make up Virtue's soul purpose. Apophis threatens that very purpose, so he has allied himself with Aker, despite his disdain for the living. He wears a mask that resembles this 'Helios'.

Chains Untied!

Vlyke has been waiting for so long to bring the Pharaoh Ekhennata to justice ever since his days as a Medjay under him. Through unbridled rage, Vlyke finally makes his way to the throne, the very core of Amunra's balance, the final battle will not be without strife.

Deceit of the Dream Walker!

Anubius carries with him the cold touch of death. His travels in the Duat have scarred him, and yet these markings only serve to make his goals clear. In deep grief about his home planet, Kenomos, being consumed by Apophis, he was bound to cleave Ekhennata from the throne.

"We are the Yafayaer!"

Althomos leads the charge against pharaoh Ekhennata and his madness! The Yafayaer sing their song of battle, the Edentree's petals heal every wound, serving only to make them stronger. The characteristic cracks on their bodies tell of many great battles, where wounds of old have become statures of perfect golden order.

[reterion]

Althomos Ma'at Nevief Dattaki Fenrir

Yes that is his whole name! Althomos is the eldest of the Yafayaer, a species closely related to the Evisu (the species of Anubius). The Yafayaer live forever, but begin losing memories that are older than 100 years. They kept to themselves on the world of Fenrisheim, a planet that remains to this day uncharted. Each of Althomos's names recount tales of extraordinary courage, and were given to him by the other species of the galaxy. The last, "Fenrir", suggests that he may have been the very first of the Yafayaer sculpted from the waters of life, but proof of this is nigh impossible to find.

His sword, "Singing the song above" was given to him by automatons known as the Veiled, barely any trace of them remain, this sword would be the last artifact that hasn't waned to time...

Anubius, the Dream Walker

Anubius is a Maravaf warrior of Evisu descent, the title of 'Dream Walker' comes from his ability to traverse the Duat without fatal harm, however his body would gain rippling scars each time he entered and returned. He played a big role in helping Vlyke form the Order of Aker, serving as his second in command.

[reterion]

Vlykerios Valefor, the vengeful Medjay.

Vlykerios, formerly known as Reterion before I decided to separate myself from my story and characters. He is the main character of my ongoing novel "LOAD". Vlyke was Medjay who once served the great pharaoh Ekhennata. His discoveries on the world of Rivenankh revealed that the pharaoh was trying to bind Apophis. In his efforts to try and flee from his position, he was exiled to the galactic regions of Lunaris, where he would meet with unlikely allies to form the Order of Aker, which intended to delve into the abyss in search of the chaos serpent's origin.
