Rustiagon Karrel

"Fear me, Harbingers! My name is King Rustiagon Karrel.  You killed my father, King Rustiagon Reckar, and I shall obliterate each of your cities one by one!"

(Excerpt from King Rustiagon Karrel's speech to the Harbingers)

King Rustiagon Karrel (or Karrel for short) was a king of the Dhragolon who served during the Harbinger Wars. He is among the most memorable of Dhragolon kings, leading the Dhragolon Federal Monarchy into joining the Galactic Senate.

Personality
Karrel is very ambitious and charismatic. He enjoys meeting new friends and travelling across the galaxy. Sometimes, he can be very stubborn and refuse to accept the truth so he is prone to losing control of his emotions. Nonetheless, he enjoys his life.

Early Life
Rustiagon Karrel was born in 7,548 4E. As a child, he always played with toy starships and pretended to go on adventures. He always wanted to follow in the footsteps of his father, Reckar.

Also, two years after Karrel hatched from his egg, his brother Rarsan was about to become king, but was denied due to him putting down answers that did not reflect his true views. Rarsan was exiled after going into blind rage, but soon the two met again on Malisk II, the Eteno homeworld.

The First Harbinger War
Main Article: The Meeting

Karrel has accidentally stumbled upon an advanced race known as the Eteno after running out of fuel from a raid on the Harbinger colony Arkos Prime. There he managed to form an alliance with the new race and worked together to destroy the Harbingers ending the Harbinger Skirmish and beginning what would later be known as the First Harbinger War.

Aldaris Incident
King Rustiagon Karrel, reluctant to fight in an accidental war between the Dhragolon and Eteno, meditated and spoke to the spirit of Rustiagon Dralla. He ended up in Alk'charis where the Kklxin had worked with the ghost of Rarsan to unleash a demon named Uszaroth. Once the curse on the Eteno was cured, the combined forces of the Eteno and the Dhragolon trapped the monster once again in another dimension.

Attack of Asylum
Rustiagon Karrel had also gotten involved in the final battle against the Kklxin. However, the spirit of Altus Infra, the leader of the Altusian Brotherhood, possessed Karrel forcing him to attack fellow Eteno. Karrel was exiled to Alk'charis leaving Grandmaster Zerif to act as the leader of the Dhragolon in the mean time. The king was not exiled for long as he found a way to escape.

Later, Rustiagon Karrel met some outcasts along with a rogue Kklxin named Izerg as well as Rarsan who agreed to help Karrel pass some vital information to the rest of the Dhragolon fleet. He broke into the Castle Hall's mainframe to send the coordinates of the Kklxin's artificial homeworld, but most of the outcasts including Karrel himself were killed at Infra's hands. Rarsan and Izerg made it out alive swearing revenge.

Result of Death
Karrel's death left the kingdom in the hands of his daughter - Rustiagon Kalya. Being still young and relatively inexperienced, she met mixed reaction from the DFM. The differing views of her supporters and opposers eventually got so intense that the DFM was bent on civil war. That along with other major powers suffering from internal conflicts led to the instability of the Galactic Senate.

Legacy
Rustiagon Karrel is known for his ambition and his willingness to do what he though was right. He lead the DFM into a golden age of prosperity with the discovery of other powerful, yet benevolent empires. To young Dhragolon, he became a role model and an example.
