Description An enigma wrapped in a mystery, Agama is perhaps the most mysterious individual in history. Theories abound, but there isn't even any solid evidence of what species this wraith like creature is. The one person who knows him more than any other, Advisor Noric, met Agama on the night of the day he first approached Monarch with his offerings of power. Just as Noric came to Monarch with knowledge of the past and technology from the future, Agama came to Noric with the same. The exact nature of their discussion is known only to the two, but what is more widely known is after their meeting The 'Ultimate Sage' project began, and The Sage Corps itself had it's roots laid down through The Death Corps that Agama commands. Agama has pilfered technology from Noric as well, such as The bizzare Biological Parasites that allowed for the creation of his Death Corps seeker soldiers, and Commander Rison. Outside of The Death Corps, and Advisor Noric, no one knows of Agama's existence, and it's well that they don't, for this creature is truly an unsettling being. His entry into a room lowers it's temperature, and his departure from said room is always accompanied by a somber tormented howl the likes of which leaves the hearer unsure if they heard the sound, or imagined it. His voice is said to have the booming echo of an angel, yet the dark depravity of a demon. To look into the glowing red spheres that serve as his eyes or feel the skeletal touch of his hand is enough to send chills down the spine of even the most powerful and hardened of Sages. Agama is the only one who knows exactly what direction events in the world are taking, and it's knowledge that he isn't sharing. Though always confident and enlightened, there's always a trace of madness about the mysterious Agama, who's sanity may well be victim to the very secrets he keeps; or rather, the secret he has become.

Heh, cool. Well, there's still much more to come, along with a fairly major 'surprise' of sorts around summer's end, so maybe we'll be able to take over your favs list outright ^_^

btw, how's violin practice going? Do you play any other instruments, or are you starting out with the violin?

I haven't had time to even touch my violin T.T work has been keeping me busy. But I did try to play a keyboard before (and FAILED at it) but I think I'll stick with the violin.

The 250,000 years since childhood haven't been all that good to him either.

Ooo, creepy final design. So the True evil beyond even Noric. I have a feeling he is either some form of Reptile, or could very well be Draconic or Demonic, somehow related to the Gods that brought about the Fall of Man. Of course, his hands could be the result of those Parasites, or just a mutation as a result of abuse of Sage Powers. It's all just speculation on my part, but my favourite theory is the Gods one.

Hey, hey, you've got a pretty sharp eye! Mentioning the hands potentially being the result of abuse of Sage Powers hits a couple of very deeply rooted, and as of yet unannounced story elements that don't really even get touched upon much in the first volume. Glad you like how the piece turned out too. As always, thanks for taking the time to stop by and post us a note!

He has an intriguing back-story/description and paints an interesting picture of barely-contained madness and restrained power. His nature and some of the things he and Noric are working on feel, to me, almost like they relate in some manner to Tiamat based on what I recall having read...
Very interesting, and by the way, I adore the Salvaticans as a whole, despite some of their shady players.

Thanks for the feedback. Due to the nature of his character, Agama's role is minimal in the first few volumes, but you'll be glad to hear the first three volumes center around events taking place in Salvatica.

Dinalfos5 In reply to GleamingScythe [2009-06-23 21:41:15 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, I see. Well, it was just one of many theories I tossed out, but mutations like that because of an abuse of dark or demonic magic is a common theme in fantasy, so it was just something I thought of.
Anyway, you're Welcome.
