Kulant

Kulant is a Mersion scientist working for the Shadow of Ages.

Biography
Kulant originally resided on the island of Versuva, occupying a powerful position as one of the island's greatest scientists, long before other scholars, such as Mersery, came to adopt the position. During these years, Kulant was also a prominent figure within the Council of Eight, the ruling body of Versuva, though eventually retired in order to attend to his duties as a scientist. When a warlord invaded and conquered Versuva, Kulant was one of the few beings who actively spoke out against his rule, though was disciplined because of this.

Fortunately, the Hand of Artakha came to the Mersions' aid, and forced the warlord to flee Versuva. Desiring to find and punish this conqueror for his harsh treatment of his people, Kulant left his homeland in order to find him. His search took many years to complete, and though he never found the warlord, he concluded that he had been murdered. Kulant then began investigating into the warlord's associations, and traveled to the island of Chrone to receive further answers.

What he discovered was unexpected. Upon arriving, Kulant was captured by a group of beings, who revealed themselves to be the legendary Shadow of Ages. He was then taken before the cult's grand master, Millennium, who deceived and manipulated Kulant into believing that his people had not appreciated his work on Versuva. Millennium then offered Kulant membership into the Shadow of Ages, which Kulant accepted. Not long after, he became one of Millennium's greatest scientists.

As of now, it remains unknown whether he migrated onto the surface of Spherus Magna following Teridax's death, or whether he remained behind on Chrone with his master.

Abilities and Traits
Cunning and intelligent, Kulant possesses a brilliant, mind, a trait not uncommon amongst his race. However, unlike most of his kind, he is extremely boastful and arrogant, a characteristic assured to him by his great intelligence. However, when his life is threatened, Kulant is known to be extremely cowardly, willing to sacrifice the lives of others in order to save his own hide. However, it is known prior to his association under Millennium, Kulant was quite noble, bold, and daring, though these aspects of his personality were eroded away under his somewhat fearful servitude of Millennium.

As with all members of her kind, Kulant possesses keen night vision, immunity to Pit Mutagen, a resistance to freezing temperatures, the ability to manipulate the elemental forces of the environment around him to a limited extend. he also possesses powerful telepathic and telekinetic abilities.

Though somewhat weak and feeble, and not a much of a fighter, Kulant is known to be very agile.

Mask and Tools
Kulant wears the Kanohi Rode, the Great Mask of Truth, allowing him to see through any kind of disguise or deception. In the rare circumstances where he has to fight, Kulant mainly relies on his powers, though when actually forced to use a weapon, he uses three small, quill-like, throwing knives which he keeps mounted on his back.
