Biography
Before and during the Core War, Atakus lived on Spherus Magna under the governance of the Element Lord of Rock. At the time of the Shattering, he was in the region of the Great Barren which formed a separate planet. Having lived with the rest of the Rock Tribe on another region, Atakus was separated from his home region and settled with his fellow tribe members near the Black Spike Mountains.
Prior to the Skrall's migration south, Atakus worked in the last remaining Rock Tribe fortress in the northern Black Spike Mountains. He was a gate guard, and allowed admittance of a supply wagon with tree trunks to be used for fire wood, though the wood was actually a number of disguised Baterra, who quickly began attacking.
After the subsequent battle, Atakus took charge of the surviving Rock Agori and led them south in the wake of the retreating Skrall army.
Once the tribe had settled in Roxtus, Atakus took on several jobs. Firstly, he acted as an assistant to Skrall competing in Arena Matches. He also continued to his old job of gate guard, and became a spokesman for Tuma to Agori from other tribes. Atakus once made contact with an Agori captive of theirs, Metus, who offered his assistance in the Rock Tribe's struggles. Tuma was initially doubtful, and Atakus was assigned to test the Agori's loyalty.
Atakus was assigned to accompany a Skrall to an arena match in Vulcanus. After winning the match, the Skrall left to meet with Metus, while Atakus returned to Roxtus.
While in Roxtus, he was approached by an Agori sent by Raanu to gain the Skrall's assistance in fighting against the Bone Hunters. Atakus openly mocked the Agori's attempts to gain the trust of the other villages and told him that the Skrall's loyalty was temporary and for sale. After paying with a large amount of Thornax, the Agori received Atakus' Mark, allowing him to find a Skrall and purchase its seal, proof of their new contract to fight for Vulcanus.
Once, Atakus allowed a caravan containing food and water into Roxtus, not knowing Strakk and Gresh were hiding in the cart. After some Spikit were released in Roxtus by the two, Atakus decided to stay at the village's entrance to stop the creatures from escaping, but was left unconscious when Strakk fell on him.
Atakus participated in the Battle of Roxtus, after which the Rock Tribe was exiled to the wastelands.
Abilities and Traits
Atakus is a fierce and strong warrior, and is skilled in parrying with one sword and striking with the other. However, he is overly self-confident, and weak against more crafty opponents.
Atakus idolizes Stronius, and spent most of his free time with the elite warrior, hoping to pick up combat techniques. Stronius tolerated his presence, and sometimes had Atakus torture captive Vorox.
Tools
Atakus wields two Skrall Tribal Design Blades made with technology alien to Bara Magna. They were found in a weapons cache near what the Skrall believed to be a Baterra encampment, and Atakus wields them with great pride.
