User:Zoey The Edgedancer/Amalthus

Summary
Amalthus is the 108th Praetor of the Indoline Praetorium, and a major antagonistic force in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

History
When Amalthus was a child, he and his mother were forced to flee from a group of men. But in order to protect him, his mother pushed him down a hill where the men wouldn't search for him. After awakening, he stumbled through the woods and came upon his mother's corpse and the men's camp. Seemingly without hesitation, he picked up a rock and killed all the men at the camp.

At some point in his life, he awakened the Blade Minoth.

At some point shortly before the Aegis War, he was promoted to the rank of Quaestor.

Circa 3564, he climbed the World Tree and found Elysium empty in the First Low Orbit Station. As proof of his feat, he found and stole the two remaining cores of the Trinity Processer: Logos and  Pnuema.

He awakened Logos in Indol, and his hatred of the world and humanity deeply effected the Aegis and set the foundation for his personality and worldview. Which would come to be the flame that lit the fuse of the coming Aegis War.

As Malos grew closer to his true power, he lost a need for Amalthus, and left him behind.

After the Aegis War, he assassinated the then Praetor Rhadallis via poison; and took his position as Praetor of Indol.

At some point he awakened Haze's Core Crystal, naming her Fan la Norne. At some point following his Awakening of her, he tore out part of her Core Crystal and implanted it in himself to make himself a Flesh Eater.

Nearly five-hundred years after the end of the Aegis War, he found a mortally wounded Zeke and Pandoria, and brought them to Indol. He took out part of Pandoria's Core Crystal and fused it with Zeke so that both could survive. In return, Zeke became a special envoy for Indol to find and test the new Driver of the Aegis.

Before he departed from Indol, he shared a few conversations with Amalthus.

Some point after this, he met with Rex, his party, and the Aegis. Where they talked to him about their desire to reach Elysium to try to resolve world conflicts.

After the meeting, he requested a private conversation with the Aegis to reminisce about the Aegis War and the world of the time. During their conversation, Mythra confronted him, knowing that he would never have allowed others to go to Elysium before. He told her that he believed that Rex could make it to Elysium and speak to the Architect and save the world.

He tore out Akhos' Core Crystal, killing him.

He was frozen to the wall and killed by Jin, briefly seeing a vision of his mother shrouded in light before he passed away.
