Grave is the Planetary Chief of the Berzerker Tribal Monarchy — and the shadow its god left behind.

He wears full armor at all times and rarely shows his face. What is known of it comes in pieces: eyes of red and blue. A voice like a ticking sound. And beneath the presentation, an original form the darkness only hints at — an emergence with six arms, a blade of corruption in hand, his face masked by a strange darkness that pours out of his hood like smoke from a sealed room.

His own court description is blunt about what he is: a villain, the bringer of death and darkness, shady and very sneaky in how he operates — a former of dark groups, an organizer of chaos, for his own benefit. When Zaidan vanished, Grave was left with everything: the planet, the war, the ruin. Two trillion years of grievance tick behind his courtesy now. He taunts the returned god to his face — naive, blind, grown weak — and then disappears into darkness before an answer can land.

But he is not the main villain. His own record says so, and something older seems to hold the part. Grave is the operator the story can't get rid of — because, in Zaidan's own words, he only dies when the planet dies. And the planet is his seat. Even now, it is Grave's word that reaches Ariron when forces close on the lost. The Monarchy's darkest chief still reports in. Nobody — perhaps not even Grave — says whether that is loyalty, or the longest of his games.
