Cryak is Starscream’s mother—or as Starscream was called at the time this scenario is set—Ulchtar’s mother.

Cryak is a scientist, explorer and professor at The Iacon Academy of Science. She homeschools her son, Ulchtar, and the two of them live out in the Acid Wastes, down south of Praxius. Her son, Ulchtar was still very young and she had promised—mostly to herself—that she would do everything to keep him sheltered and safe.
