==== Sidebar: The Starborn Cohort ==== Colchis' is a member of an atypically large and perhaps arrogent, given their naming habits, Cohort consisting off: *'''Labyrinthos''': A glutton. Covets the wealth and pleasures of earth, but covets his own continued existence far too much to risk it - though he'd be the mostly easily tempted from the heavens compared to his cohorts. In ancient days past, he was worshiped as a god by humanity in the south Atlantic seas and really wants to relive his glory days, but is too afraid of Marduk (who very nearly killed him before he escaped) to return. Labyrinthos plays a dangerous game of attempting to manipulate humans with high technological power to gain influence and followers on Earth, even though he has to make sure to cover his tracks much more carefully than the others. Was an influential member of the School of Clay during his peak. *'''Loki''': Once held major sway over cultists in the North Atlantic, is an excellent planner and can easily achieve the most complicated schemes when compared to his cohorts. Practices "total war" and can effectively and carefully coordinate all of his terrestrial resources to pull off the perfect scheme. Prefers subtlety to force in nearly all situations. Would not be caught dead on Earth again and actually prefers his new home greatly over the ancestral lands of his fathers. Loki is the one most likely to sew conflict between Leviathan and Starborn, or amongst the Starborn, in an effort to gain power and followers for himself or act as a readily apparent antagonist. Any direct connection between him and Norse mythology is hazy as best and he's just as likely to be the namesake of a God as vice versa. *'''Karkaṭa''': According to legend, Karkaṭa was the Hydra's mate and cohort and fled to the stars when he was slain by humans, along with Karkata's progeny. Because of this, she has a very, very large grudge against humanity and she's vindictive and determined to make them pay very viciously and very slowly for the rest of her existence. To her, schemes are not just a means for a survival: it's payback. She is among her kin the least likely to pick a conflict with a terrestrial leviathan, and will frivolously spend resources and ichor on making life for humanity just a little bit worse in any way she can. *'''Nile''': Claims the river was indeed named after him, though it honestly could have been the other way around. Either way, had a fun stint as a fertility god on the mouth of the river in Africa. They got that depiction of his crocodile head just right. The simplest, honest of his band, likes to give adversaries a "fair chance" against him (though what a fair chance is can vary on his disposition) and probably sees his situation as a big, relaxing game to while away the centuries. *'''Shala''': Doesn't really have much ambition other than to follow her sister Themis's, wishes. Ends up doing grunt-work, like ordering around unimportant Beloved on Earth to do minor tasks. Doesn't really have much ambition, and will go along with the flow of either her sister of the group, and is staunchly satisfied to do so. Never had a large influence on terrestrial culture, but didn't really want it. *'''Themis''': The Judicator. The only one of her kind with a title. Her sole purpose amongst the Twelve is simply to settle disputes before they spiral into something out of control that could compromise them all. Her decisions are swift and decisive. She, along with Colchis, are the closest things they have to leaders. Neither one of them rarely gets much of a leg up on the others because Colchis lacks foresight and Themis lacks good initiative, however. *'''Mulgirtab''': Claims to be the oldest and most powerful. Personally killed the ancient hero Orion in a fairly epic ancient battle. Will not let anyone forget about it. Only fled Earth when he came to conclusion that remaining was hopeless. One of the most macabre of the twelve, Mulgirtab operates using Reanimant humans as the "stick" to the group's Beloved groups on earth, as a final "screw you" to Marduk and is basically the one who taught the others the Ritual to Reanimate the dead using Ichor. When he and Karkaṭa conspire, watch out. *'''Ixion''': Acting through a Beloved named Chiron, Ixion was the one who came up with the Astrology scheme in the first place, teaching humans only rudimentary parts of Rituals to make them easier and more vulnerable to the Wake. As such, he is the most skilled at controlling humans and harvesting Ichor, and has the most powerful rituals of his fellows. *'''Kumbha''': Did not want to leave his home waters of the planet, was forced and bullied to participate by Colchis as the foremost expert of the School of the Abyss of his generation, Kumbah is an expert on the Rift and was taken to the stars due to his intuitive knowledge of it. Remains a semi-unwilling participant bullied by the others. *'''Euphrates''': Fled the planet due to problems with Typhons - namely her son became a Typhon while exploring the rift and slaughtered the rest of their Cohorts. Because of that, has a huge grudge against Typhons and will spend resources fighting them (usually using Reanimants of extinct and powerful creatures). This means that she is one of the few of her members that the Wicked Tribe can "depend" on, and quite a few of them may openly worship or revere her as a a positive force. Rarely if ever employs Beloved. *'''Makara''': Operated as a very powerful Cult leader in the ancient Indian ocean. Was forced to flee into the Atlantic when some Typhons attacked her Cult's bases of power. Has, at one time or the other, had a Cult operating in at least every continent once. Is the most familiar with Earth's seas and lands, and generally always has a back-up plan. Makara places "investments" into humanity, helping her Beloved start businesses, cities, or careers and fostering an indirect Cult of personality based around them. Will backstab the other Twelve as soon as looking at them, but her breadth of knowledge, ambition, and paramount is too valuable to sacrifice for her relative petty betrayals.
