Altamira and Styx

The Arsenians get rather upset at Altamira when he invents a device to scramble life energy signals of creatures they want to track. They are rather upset when they learn it also puts viruses into their computers if they try to lock onto any being's signal... They are also rather upset at Altamira's refusal to share information about the Omegastone. And by rather upset, I mean they want to capture him and torture him.

This new Avi'cyclo is a creation of the Arsenians. They successfully spliced a sample of ahrehk'taur DNA with Avi'cyclo DNA to make this creature. They send Sangwen III (an Arsenian mercenary) and "EXP 111a" after Altamira to capture him and bring him back to one of the main Arsenian cities. EXP 111a is also known as "Styx".

I know what you're thinking and yes, Styx is in fact named after the band because I was listening to "Angry Young Man" when I came up with his design.

After successfully completing his mission, Styx regrets hurting Altamira and defends him. He ends up attacking Sangwen III and is punished for it.

I haven't worked out Styx's storyline yet. That ring in his tail is sort of a marking given to some Arsenian slaves.
