Zed The Galaxy Slayer (Odyssey)

Zed The Galaxy Slayer's History

Zed is the host of the Ora's conciousness and comes from the Odyssey Universe. Set in the vastness of the cosmos, each of the champions represent influential individuals of a vast galactic civilization. From the urbanized coreworlds to the outermost edge of the galaxy, adventure awaits! The great Demaxian Empire ignores the objections of the Templar Order and the criminal Syndicate alike in their pursuit of ora—a mysterious golden essence that serves as the lifeblood of all civilization, and promises untold power to those who can wield it for themselves.

Raised by the Templar Order, Zed dedicated himself to all its teachings at a young age. He learned every fundamental truth, and passed every harsh trial, until the day he stood proudly before his masters, and was anointed into their ranks. Only then was Zed given what was to be his final and greatest test: to seek out and protect one of the legendary megafauna—a truly ancient creature, worshipped as a god by many among the edgeworlds.

It was a test he would fail… in a manner of speaking.

An expedition of Demaxian troopers ambushed the young Templar, seeking to harvest the creature's ora for themselves. Unwilling to let such power fall into the hands of non-believers, Zed killed it before their eyes, an act defying every tenet of the Templar faith. In an explosion of cosmic energy, the ora consumed him in body and mind.

Ever since, Zed has seen himself—or rather, themselves—as the most perfect expression of all life. With the interdimensional whispers of ora guiding him across deep space, he has become a monstrous entity, capable of swift and deadly destruction.

All other living beings are but distractions from his new vision of harmony—a galaxy cleansed of the weak and undeserving.
