Description The title wasn't supposed to be that ominous. ( ̄へ ̄'')
Anyway, it still feels good to finally draw both Komond and his older brother, Ethikai. I might as well also give an updated bio since I'm too lazy to update the actual reference at the moment.

They aren't quite twins since they weren't nessicarily born, but they do contain the exact same genetic material, so in a way, I guess they are? Their main abilities are a little different, but they do share a lot of the other ones due to their parasites. Created by the guardians as weapons, they are the only two surviving experiments while the others died shortly after creation. Despite what the guardians would hope, these two do have their own minds and will question the authority of their creators; though only rarely as doing so results in severe punishment. Since they can withstand immense physical trauma and spring back to being fully healthy within hours or sometimes minutes, punishment from the guardians usually involves disembowelments or electrocution.

Of the two siblings, Komond is friendlier. His job is to kill off monsters, and those who escape Orts. He is also tasked with the survival of the humans and as well as retrieving ingredients from deceased soldiers. Komond is the only known being able to perform true necromancy, in which the dead returns to life as they were previously, and not as something like a zombie. He is even capable of reviving someone from ash. He can also drain the life from anything near him. This ability cannot be targeted on a specific entity, and will kill anything around him; including plants, insects, and any other wildlife. Creatures killed in this way cannot be revived, except for the combined abilities of the two brothers, so this ability is rarely used.

Ethikai was the first success of the Gigas experiment. He cares for himself, and those who willingly submit themselves toward his own personal goal. His main tasks are to help with the guardian's various experiments, and occasionally assisting Komond if a particularly difficult to destroy anomaly is discovered. His abilities are healing, though he also understands how to use this as a weapon. With a simple touch, he can restore severed limbs, blindness, and cure terminal illnesses. On the other hand, in the same movement he can also inflict disease, internal hemorrhaging, and create cancerous growths. One other ability of Ethikai is to temporarily negate Komond's ability to drain the life from those around him, though they must be near each other for this to work.
