Vapius

Vapius was an Agori tactician and leader of the Water Tribe.

Early Life
Similarly to all other members of his species, Vapius began his life on Spherus Magna roughly 150,000 years ago. Hailing from the eastern regions of Aqua Magna. As he grew older, Vapius witnessed the Dreaming Plague consume the Iron Tribe and the creation of the Element Lords by the Great Beings.

By the time of the Core War, Vapius came to participate in the combat for the majority of the conflict and informing much of the Water Tribe's military effort, serving as the scribe for an unnamed Water Tribe Glatorian. However, following a string of defeats owing to the superior tactical minds of the Sand Tribe, the Glatorian was killed and Vapius assumed command of the regiment in the chaos, issuing the order for the remaining troops to feint a retreat only to double back and massacre the Sand Tribe foot soldiers.

Promoted to a high-ranking position and claiming credit for the maneuver, Vapius came to serve as the personal envoy of the Elemental Lord of Water. Eventually growing disenfranchised from the soldiers, the Agori made a number of poor judgment calls towards the end of the Core War, relentlessly sending soldiers to pursue the Sand Tribe whilst neglecting the Ice Tribe and Fire Tribe, who gained valuable strategic ground in the north.

With Energized Protodermis reserves in the planet's core losing stability due to increased mining activity and depletion of natural reserves, a global shockwave known as The Shattering was triggered, causing planetary fragmentation and propelling two large chunks of the planet away from the surface and into upper orbit. Participating in a battle in the central belt of Spherus Magna, Vapius was among the multitude of combatants who would become trapped on Bara Magna.

Devastated by the apparent loss of the Elemental Lords as well as a majority of his fellow combatants, Vapius managed to take partial command of a small group of Agori that would eventually grow to become the Water Tribe. With Certavus, Vastus, Ackar, and Tarix, several of the leading Glatorian generals, establishing the Glatorian Social System, Vapius was quick to accept the creed, recognizing the collective unifying movement revolving around Glatorian arena matches so as not to risk armed conflict over the few resources available for each tribe.

Taking residence in the city of Tajun unknowingly built from the wreckage of the Prototype Great Spirit Robot, Vapius consolidated his claim as leader of the Water Tribe by earning the support of Tarix and the other Glatorian of the Water Tribe. Establishing himself as a passive leader, Vapius proved slow to respond to developing situations throughout his career, believing that a great many of the world's problems would resolve themselves given time.
