Sarkanian

Sarkanian is a primordial monster that battled the Great Beings in the early days of the universe.

Biography
During the early days of the universe, the monster known as Sarkanian was believed to have come into existence on the desolate world of Meyator, where it emerged from a volcanic crevice. This has led to the assumption that Sarkanian is an Elemental, a beast of fire and stone, though this has never been proven.

Eventually, the Great Beings arrived on Meyator, finding it suitable for a new experiment they had been planning. They were accompanied by Treknerrok, Keeper of the Vault, who would record the experiment's results to add to their database. Seeing the new arrivals as prey, Sarkanian attacked them. Treknerrok's timely intervention provided the necessary distraction for the Great Beings to combine their powers and unleash their full strength upon the monster. When the smoke cleared, Sarkanian had been thrown into a coma of sorts, but was still alive, something that shocked the Great Beings.

Fearful and panicked, the Great Beings bound Sarkanian and placed it aboard their most powerful dimensional vessel, a ship called the Enigma. A Great Being named Carderoks was placed in command of the Enigma, along with several others and Treknerrok.

The Enigma would transport Sarkanian to the core of Spherus Magna, where the concentration of Energized Protodermis would suspend the monster's coma indefinitely. However, upon crossing the Endless Ocean, Treknerrok rebelled against his creators, and after severely wounding Carderoks, escaped onto the new planet, sinking the Enigma in the process. As a result, both the ship and Sarkanian sank down into the black water and were never seen again. Sarkanian wound up frozen in ice while the Enigma was destroyed along with its passengers. Carderoks was the only Great Being known to survive the sinking.

Over the years, legends and myths would arise concerning the fate of the Enigma and its mysterious cargo. The tales attracted a variety of pirates searching for riches, among them the fearsome Harponok and Nevotnor.
