Bull of Nihilakh by Smearu Ren

Bull of Nihilakh

I’m not exactly going to ensure peak grammar here

AKA: Amamon the Callous

Details:

A Destroyer Lord, previously a high ranking noble within the Nihilakh Dynasty, now pariah to his people.

Hekatic scripts run vertically from both eyes, this allows his ability to stop time and halt those within his gaze. However this only works when he maintains his gaze, when broken so does his control over the time-stop.

The black-hole-esque orb that hovers atop his head and between the horns works as a gravitational device able to apply controlled levels of gravitational force onto targets/planes of field/specific zone to crush things on command. Though it is not without its limitations.

Suffered from a debilitating brain tumour and cancerous growth across his body; mainly the upper half of his face during the days of Necrontyr.

Became deathly sensitive to light including frequent seizures whilst being fully bedridden for the latter part of his life. During this time he was being treated by Thynax the Inquisitive, a Royal Physician. Prolonged care under Thynax caused an indistinct fascination with his carer. However he remembers little of the Royal Physician’s identity due to his delirious state during this time. His memory only degraded further after Biotransferance, however the indebtedness (uncharacteristic to him) he feels towards the doctor who attempted to ease his pain always lingers at the back of his mind.

The Bull is characterized by his (mostly) unspoken arrogance. His hubris surpasses even many of his peers within the Nihilakh dynasty, however his haughtiness is less often expressed through words but actions. He owns a thrall who was previously a Lord, semi insignificant to another Dynasty. And in accordance to his ego, he had this macho-looking Lord turned into a smaller-than-average-thrall who was specifically designed to be more dainty than his peers and without any means of self defense; his bladed hands would be replaced with normal stubs specifically designed to carry The Bull’s heavy weapon at will. A scuttling token of his victory.

In reference to the wiki : Moloch/Molech/Molek may have been speculated to be in reference to a Canaanite God, but was discussed to have been a physical interpretation of sacrifice which during the time of its creation demanded sacrificing children. Its appearance is depicted as a “bull-headed idol.” However in this case The Bull is inspired by the concept of sacrifice, and the symbolism of bulls being a sign of untamed strength and power.
