Lore[]
Before the devastation wrought by The Darkspore, no force was feared more on Nocturna as much as the The Nocturni Legion, largely due to creatures like Skar. And such fear was the result of genetic manipulation by the horrific Crogenitor Ingto, who loved nothing more than inspiring terror in his subjects, and sometimes, in their prey.
Amplifying Skar's naturally-occurring necrotic powers, Ingto gave Skar the ability to storm through waves of enemies with blitzkrieg intensity. Skar smashed foes with dual strikes and shadow stings, and in rare moments of vulnerability, he'd retreat behind a cloak of invisibility. Even greater than his powers was his acumen, which enabled Skar to take advantage of any opportunity or weakness.
Only the Darkspore's conquest of his species kept Skar from reaching ultimate power on Nocturna. With the power of death in his tendrils, Skar aimed to stop at nothing until the Darkspore was eradicated and he could reclaim Nocturna for himself.
