I don't like to run much. It makes my hear go "BupbupbupbupBOOM!"
Maresoph is about 130 years old. He was an extremely zealous preacher back in the city of Nocturnia, and when the Noctero were taken and put to work, less people concentrated on religion and more on surviving. The old Noc took this personally, and became increasingly bitter as the days passed. He was especially angry at the children and teens, who had abandoned their religion completely.
When Actra escaped, he snapped. In his mind, Actra had abandoned them. So he made a deal with Judd the Glukkon (this issue would be called "Deal with the Devil"). Judd wanted to test a new type of machine that would "help" the less versitile males do more work (females can proform multiple jobs, since their wings allow them to get to the job sites quickly), and Maresoph wants to take his vengence on Actra.
So, Maresoph was chopped up by the Vykker scientists and placed on the head of the new cybernetics system. Maresoph planned to exact his deluded revenge the moment Actra arrived to try and save those thousands who he deemed unworthy of salvation.
The cords on the arms are elastic, but made of rubber. The thing on Maresoph's head is the link between his mind and the machine. Mare is heald up by cords.
I'll work on a picture of Maresoph himself later tonight.
