The witch, the warrior and the warlord.

Over 900 years ago, into the scene of the Conflict Society, three incredible entities emerged from secrecy and myth, and remade the world according to their wishes. These powerful beings were Senti, Intruder and Mr. Slayer. Slayer and his company had come to the Conflict Planets to trade to sell a totally new range in advanced arms and equipment. Goods to increase combat efficiency -essential to survival in a Conflict War environment. Slayer's proposals became a reality as the various societies accepted his offers of advancement. Henceforth, a mammoth company was established called 'SLA Industries' (pronounced 'slay') owned by Slayer himself, who would manage and oversee the cogs of progress in motion as the mega corporation began to trade with the Conflict Planets. Initially, SLA Industries predominantly offered the services of the Kilneck, Mr. Slayer's personal cadre of near immortal killers. Billions were offered and billions were accepted as Intruder, leader of the Kilneck, lead his ancient brothers and sisters out of SLA Industries' realm and into the thick of harsh warfare. So while the Kilneck battled endlessly, on numerous sides and races, all financial proceeds went to the expansion of SLA Industries and to Senti's dark project, biogenetics, the concept of life generation.

Mr. Slayer

"You gave me results and I rewarded you.
For hopes, I gave you dreams.
For war, I gave you battle.
For dreams, I gave you hope.
For honour, I gave you justice.
For blood, I gave you life.
For knowledge, I took it from you.
I will give you everything you want...
...For blind loyalty.


Mr. Slayer, Expo 900

Before the birth of SLA Industries and the World of Progress, the Known Universe, as it was then called, had suffered a history of war that seemed to last forever and a day. Countless warring races battled constantly for supremacy, dominance and other reasons long since forgotten. The universe was caught in a spiral of moral decay that, within 150 years, would have caused total extinction of all life in every Conflict Society, including races and planets who remained passive in the thick of the unceasing battle. The war spread like a cancer across every corner of the Known Universe creating a sea of devastation. Interstellar warfare infected or destroyed every society. Only a minuscule number of backwater planets, husks of bygone, once proud, civilizations, remained in the aftermath.

As the fighting rumbled on the Conflict Worlds, on one of the most hostile planets in the Conflict Space, White Earth, in a distant corner of the Known Universe, a terrible storm raged across its pale surface. So aggressive was the outburst, that the entire Known Universe took notice. At a distance they watched the planet scream in rage for three days, then fall silent. As suddenly as the storm ended on White Earth, a tall man appeared in Conflict Society. While others lumbered around in powered armour for protection, Slayer walked gracefully and regally in a sharp black suit. He was a business man, not a warrior and if protection were absolutely necessary, he always had the Kilneck at his side.

A 9-foot tall giant of a man with desiccated features stretched taut over his skull. His species unknown, his powers equally unique and baffling. The one thing that was obvious to everyone was that this man was a being of singular Ruthlessness, Control and Ambition.

And he came to the world with a plan.

Intruder:

The Three Pillars Rg7H65g

"This is Third Eye News reporter Julia June reporting from the edge of Eastsector Downtown. Since the beginning of my career at Third Eye, I have been following a great deal of Contract Killers from all round The Circuit but today's slaughter, here at Polson Avenue, is the most bloodthirsty encounter I've ever seen.
Two weeks ago, 'Wide Boy' soft-company 'The Reevo Gang' decided to push SLA Industries and, as you can see, SLA pushed back -in the most horrific manner. All I can see is bloody and outstretched arms pleading for mercy from beyond the grave. 40 lost souls chopped down by Intruder. Gorezone reports that he has taken damage in several unsurvivable manners: They quoted 17mm HEAP to vital organs, 12.7 HEAP to his head and other forms of ballistic damage too numerous and gory to reveal in a news report. As the blood settles and reason prevails, Intruder weeps as onlookers, both civilians and SLA ops alike, are nauseated in the face of such carnage.
My only report is this: If you are as young as the kids who died here today, save Intruder his tears and join SLA Industries."


The corrupted angel, the last Kilneck, SLA Industries very own clockwork killer.

When Slayer emerged from the maelstrom of Conflict Era, by his side walked a beautiful young man with sad eyes and a tender smile. This was the leader of the infamous Kilneck, a small group of superior beings that at the birth of SLA Industries, were the powerful right hand of Mr. Slayer. The fey man came to be known as Intruder by the Conflict Races as Mr. Slayer ruthlessly used his incredible talents for brutal stealth and murder, his gentle look becoming synonymous with assassinations and espionage.

Intruder was also the template for a new breed of supersoldiers wrought with the new technology of biogenetics, the Stormers, by Senti. The very first Stormer was a pure clone of Intruder, but born without the essence of purity and kindness that was at the heart of the conflicted killer, but instead all that there was within that hollow entity was cruelty and bitter intelligence. After Intruder's demands that the monster be put down immediately, it was the soft words of Mr. Slayer that stilled his rage that allowed the being now known as Angel to continue existing in the shadows, ruled only by Mr. Slayer for unknown, secret tasks and allowed for the experimentation to continue. The next success that crawled from within the growth chamber was an aberration, a monster of hideous proportions. The first true Stormer, 313 Malice.

Despite the Malice's aggressive appearance and ham-fisted approach to combat, Intruder accepted the presence of the new Stormer. It wasn't deceptive like Angel, it was like a loyal son to him. This warrior giant was a part of him, so different yet so alike. It also contained variations on Intruder's emotions and it understood the extent of Intruder's pain. It was responsible, trustworthy and protective. Over the years, Intruder became a brother to the first initial Stormer, there was so much of Intruder's thoughts and emotions in his biogenetic 'son'. In the countless centuries that passed, he became a part of the family, like Slayer, Intruder and Senti. Both Intruder and his Stormer came through many events that have shaken the history of SLA Industries, they were like a stained and darkened royalty. Intruder called his Stormer friend 'Taarnish' and made him promise that as long as SLA Industries existed, Taarnish and he would fight true to their beliefs and knowledge, secret to so many. Since the creation of  Taarnish, all '313' Stormers have been based on his image.

And even after the rest of the Kilneck disbanded and disappeared into the darkness beyond the World of Progress, Intruder remained faithful at Mr. Slayer's side, especially after his discovery of a race so similar to himself, thoughtful, gentle beings with powers similar but different from his and Mr. Slayer's. This was the Ebon-species, their very existence seemingly manifested from the very essence of the universe, and Intruder loved his new children and in return, they worshiped him as their saviour and teacher. And it was Intruder that begged for Mr. Slayer to allow the Ebon to be saved from the untold savagery of his Big Picture that saw majority of the known species and cultures be either subjugated or destroyed wholesale. And so, at the behest of Mr. Slayer, the Ebons were folded in the wings of the newborn SLA Industries.

Intruder's hopes were that he could create a race with scope beyond the banal and tiresome of the spiritless Conflict Societies. A race of emotion, knowledge and wisdom whom Intruder would guide and protect like the Kilneck before them. He knew only too well how dangerously influential Slayer could be towards those weaker than he, and now Slayer seemed like the most powerful being alive. Even the Conflict Planets were starting to bow down before Slayer. This made Intruder afraid as he knew Slayer better than anyone did, even Senti. They could not conceive how manipulative and destructive he could be. Senti was, nonetheless, still influenced by him. She had once called him' cruelly charismatic'. He had smiled at her flattery. She was unaware of just how true her words were..

As his final deed as the bloodbath to end all bloodbaths began in the final stages of Mr. Slayer's Big Picture, Intruder went to safeguard another species, one of mighty warriors that believed in the art and traditions of war and combat. A species called the Shaktars, a red-skinned breed of fighter raised with honour, pride and valour.


Senti:


The Three Pillars BfdA2ey

She walks in the shadows of gods and monsters, a quiet companion to the first and a mother to the second. She was no towering, alien mastermind or a lithe, tormented killer. She was barely known in the Conflict Space, but it was her handiwork that rewrote the history of the future.

Many of the Conflict Races had programs to enhance their warriors in a variety of ways, breeding only the toughest to even ingenious biogenetic implants, but all still struggled to maintain their fighting numbers in the constant meatgrinder of the galaxy-spanning war. Many had attempted and repeatedly failed to produce a more efficient warrior, one without the strenuous breeding and gestation times and the time wasted in waiting for the next generation to mature to age and size for the endless war.

It was only Senti that understood the failure of the Conflict Races and knew the sole solution and she went to work to make real the monstrous Big Picture of Mr. Slayer. It was her work of biogenetics, work that based on nothing that had come before, to the scientists working under her it seemed more witchcraft than science, and from their work, came the Deathwake-process. But they still needed a base to build their new creation, and there were few more accomplished killers in the Conflict Space than Intruder.

He was to be placed under scientific analysis as the perfect specimen. Senti and her bio-chemists had to probe Intruder's mind -to explore his centuries of experience, a complex structure of thoughts and emotions, so old yet so young, so confused. Senti needed to get inside his head, to discover the mystery behind such an enigmatic 'young' man. The very essence of his being would be grafted into the material cast of biogenetic tissue, raw emotions into DNA strands, then mass produced. Mass production was the business element of Senti's venture, the concept to sell to Slayer. Senti would take the violence, the insight and the graceful insanity that made up Intruder and shape it into a biogenetic form. In theory, it was to be the perfect warrior -as efficient as its original father. An unnaturally born killer conceived by SLA Industries' biogenetic department, 'The Karma facility'. The plan to graft emotional elements from Intruder's mind and recreate them in a biogenetic form was called the 'Stormer Project'. 'Stormer' was to be the name of the biogenetic creations. They would take DNA from the initial form and reproduce the specimen to create thousands of Stormers to sell to the Conflict organisations as the ultimate, and ultimately controllable, warrior.

Once Intruder had arrived at the Karma biogenetic laboratories, he was subject to several tests and a psychological evaluation that lasted a further three months. Everything had to be perfect: The slightest wave of unease could create insanity in a  biogenetic form. Senti desired a creation that could be controlled and harnessed. Intruder was still a risky and dangerous subject to use with so many years of chaos and violence all wrapped up in a strangely introverted man. One had to dig deep into Intruder's soul to unveil the rage lying in wait, sheltered by a polite, gentlemanly exterior. Once Senti had control of this deeper emotion, she began the experiment. Intruder was first placed in suspended animation, his heartbeat was taken down to one beat a minute. His mind rested in Senti's trust as she probed the positive and negative aspects of his being, grasping the emotional requirements and injecting them with the Deathwake principal. As Intruder's heart began to race once more, the biogenetic concept had been fully realised -it lived.
The result was an unnerving replica of Intruder, identical in almost every way:- athletic, waif-like, angelic. However, in spite of extensive research and preparation, there was something wrong. The creation's eyes were cruel in the centre, asocial, inhumanly evil, uncompromisingly bitter. It was a wolf in sheep's clothing and although it was perfect for Slayer's requirements as an uncaring and unquestioning killer, Senti was vaguely displeased by the result as it somehow lacked Intruder's vigour. What Senti did not realize was that no theorizing and foresight could prepare her for the results of her actions. Some things just cannot be controlled. There is no creation without destruction. The destructive creation was simply called 'Angel'.

When Intruder was shown the result of so many months of confinement, he was terrified. He saw himself standing before him, everything Slayer had ever wanted from Intruder; a brutal, sadistic killer with no respect or compassion for life. There was no
mercy and sympathy in Angel's eyes, no life. In combat, Angel matched Intruder's potential but only temporarily lacked his 'father's' experience. What Intruder also despised was Angel's dearth of psychic power, he was unpleasantly empty. Since
Angel's creation, Intruder and his Biogenetic have never accepted one another's presence. Although visually both look identical, their emotions and outlooks are worlds apart. Once the controversy of Senti's Biogenetic prototype had blown over, she embarked upon the next biogenetic project which was to be mass produced and sold to Conflict buyers. However, Intruder's confidence in Senti's capabilities had taken a harsh blow and he resented the lack of authority given to him in such matters since Slayer had turned away from the whole concept in favour of his current plan: 'The Big Picture'. As Intruder prepared for suspended animation once more, his faith dwindled away sorrowfully. Animosity filled the gap between trust and resentment and as he slipped into unconsciousness, his last waking thought was malice.

Angel's sequel was no less shocking, the latest prodigy of Intruder's mind was the embodiment of this malice. It was a million miles away from Intruder's subtle delicacies. The shape that lumbered from the tank was a seven foot monster, a beast bred
for rigorous combat under the heaviest of conditions. Whilst Angel captured an uncanny likeness, the 'Malice 313 Stormer' concept was truly the opposite; it was a muscular entity, ugly and menacing. In Malice, Mr. Slayer finally had the final piece of his Big Picture, an uncompromising supersoldier, one that could be massproduced in it's billions and sold to all bidders. Biogenetic warriors that had only one true loyalty, to Mr. Slayer.

Despite Senti's hand in the creation of Angel, Intruder still informed her of the Big Picture on the eve of it's activation, letting her reach out and save the frozen planet of Polo from the rampaging armies of her creations, the Stormers, and within it's lethal cold, a species of hyper-survivors, the Wraith Raiders.
