Armor:

Chaotic Armor of the Killener – Many years ago this armor was designed and created for Krauser Killener when he first became a member of the Solaris City military. This armor was originally created by the Head Scientist of the era, a man known only as Urobolus. It was nothing special at the time, but was improved over the years. When Krauser became an Elite soldier in the Solarian Military his armor evolved dramatically. It was redesigned to make it very lightweight and stronger than ever. It was imbued with a material known as Quicksilver, which is another name for Liquid Cie (the strongest material known to the world of Solaris). The Quicksilver gave the armor the ability to fully cover his entire body in a metallic coating, which made the armor as strong as any full plate armor that could be found. When he doesn't need the armor it splits itself into hundreds of different sections and forms into a belt around his waist, so he isn't encased by the metallic shell all the time.

The armor was later bound into several of the best armors ever created for Solaris Elites, the Nacrean Biotech Armor, which was used by Ramsus Vormav, the Omegajin Biotech Armor, which was used by Garr Fengalon, the Geodyne Biotech Armor, which was used by Urobolus, as well as the Kojin Biotech Armor, which was used by the Elite Soldier, Hukan Lao and finally, it was bound with Oomaru Killener's Kicoba Biotech Armor. All warriors who were related to or good friends with Krauser Killener. The armor has an enormous history of battle.

Many years after its last major modification Krauser somehow wound up in a distant construct on the far reaches of the galaxy known as the Pandemonium Arc. Because of Krauser's adept skill in the art of chaotic energy control, an incredible force that had remained dormant within the Pandemonium Arc awoke. At some point the unknown force became bound within Krauser's armor giving it a chaotic aura when in battle. At this point Krauser renamed his armor to something a bit more suiting. (Class: Heavy/Medium/Light, Notes: Ultralight, Indestructible, Chaotic Aura, Mystic)

Primary Weapon:

Chaotic Blade of Vengeance - This is the trusty longsword of Krauser Killener. It was given to him by Urobolus, and it was given to Urobolus by Deus Killener, Krauser's father. The sword is made from strange materials that are rumored to come from the depths of the Nomaverse, not Cie as many have thought. The crimson blade of the weapon is four feet in length and the width of the blade is about three inches across. The handle of the weapon is also very solid because it is part of the blade. In the hilt of the sword there is a Chaos Gem. Like his armor, the gem gives the weapon a chaotic aura.

Like his armor, the sword has quite a history behind it. It was bound with the Sword of Vengeance, after the fusion of Krauser and Oomaru Killener. When this occurred it gained the engraving "Vengeance" on the side of its blade. It was bound with the sword of Ramsus Vormav, which gave it the ability to be summoned straight to Krauser's hand if necessary; and finally, it was also bound with Hukan Lao's Kojin Blade, which granted it the featherlight ability. (Class: Heavy, Notes: Indestructible, Family Curse, Summon, Featherlight, Chaotic Aura)

Accessories:

Mask of Illusion - Krauser received this mask from a Zethan scientist of the planet Zetha Prime. This mask lets its wearer look and sound exactly like whoever they choose. This does not let him copy someone's face and take their place, but it changes his looks so he seems to be that person. The mask also lets its owner hide his power level, to further throw off his targets. It is very lightweight, and its natural form is solid black until it is worn.

Clothing:

Chaotic Shroud of the Watcher - This cloak allows its user to shadow walk, which is when a being steps into one shadow and walks out of another shadow in a different place. It very light and is made of a very strong cloth-like material made by the laboratories. It cannot be cut or burned and it protects its wearer abnormal status effects like paralyzation, posioning, and silencing. It was dyed by an Elyndrian craftsman to be dark crimson so it would match the rest of Krauser Killener's attire. (Notes: Indestructible, Shadow Walk)

Crimson Vest of the Killener - Beneath Krauser Killener's shroud of the Watchers, he always wears a crimson vest over his normal clothing; which almost always consist of a black Western Solarian-style long sleeve button up shirt and somewhat dressier black pants. This vest is made of a cloth-like material he synthesized in the laboratory. It's very strong, lightweight, and stain resistant. It has no other special properties.

Runes:

Legendary Rune of Resistance - This rune provides an invisible aura around the users body that provides an increase in damage reduction to all types of attacks (physical, energy, elemental). This does not allow any character to exceed the damage reduction caps. Runes of resistance are not stackable. (Notes: +10% Physical, Energy, and Elemental Damage Reduction)

Midas Stone - Crafted out of bronze half-circles that constantly shift around a small precious stone, each piece inscribed with runes and symbols, this powerful artifact actually spins currency out of nothing, providing the user with an endless supply of wealth so long as they continue to hold the powerful object within their grasp. A level 100 character with a Midas Stone will receive credits instead of experience for all types of sessions; the amount is based on the same criteria as experience gains explained in the Character Development Guide.

Platinum Rune – This rune gives its wielder the passive ability to gain an extra 40% to the amount of credits earned when completing a quest. This bonus does not stack with other runes.

Level 5 Ability:

Razor Ring – This ability was taught to Krauser by his caretaker Urobolus when he was a child. During the process of the creation of the ring, Krauser raises his arms into the air, holding his palms towards the sky. He then forms many tiny sparks of energy from his palms into a bright disc that materializes above his palms. After the disc has been formed the center of the disc splits and equally spreads apart to form the perfect shape of the large ring, usually several feet in width.

When Krauser is ready to attack, he simply thrust his arms down and forwards, which causes the suspended ring of energy above his head to stretch out in length, and then launch towards his target rounding back out as it moves through the space between itself and its target. If the target moves suddenly the ring can be controlled telepathically to redirect itself back at its original target, even once it has moved well passed its mark it can easily turn around and actually chase its target till it hits.

During the instant the ring impacts with its target it will suddenly expand outwards to completely slice whatever it touches in half. This happens in a flash of light crimson light. It will cut anything that it touches in half that has less energy guarding it than the ring has. The most interesting thing about this ability is that if the ring ever makes its way back to Krauser and strikes him it will actually return its own energy back into Krauser's body, cutting out any possibility that someone could trick the ring into striking Krauser. (Action Ability)

Level 15 Ability:

Embodiment of Chaos - This grants Krauser the ability to imbue his weapons or physical attacks with chaos energy. This literally combines Krauser's weapon attack rating with his energy damage rating for each attack he uses this ability. If the attack is successful Krauser chooses whether the overall damage taken is physical or energy. This ability may be used up to three times per battle. If the attack is blocked or parried the energy burn effects still applies even though no damage is dealt. (Action Ability)

Level 25 Ability:

Chaotic Fury – Krauser learned this ability from a westerner from Baisein City during a battle. He summons up a small, yet powerful orb, which contains the fury and rage of all who he has slain over the years. This orbs color is a deep cold black mixed with red and its mass is a swell of chaotic energy. It can absorb any energy that is weaker than its own energy level. If the energy it comes into contact with is weaker chaos energy, it will be absorbed into its own mass making the overall attack power even more potent. Krauser can summon these orbs rapidly, usually launching multiple orbs from both palms towards his target. Each orb will spiral randomly towards his target which makes them somewhat difficult to dodge for slower warriors, especially sense the random nature of the orbs makes them appear as if they're going to miss but with Krauser's impressive skill and accuracy they almost also find their mark. (Action Ability)

Level 35 Ability:

Rain of Chaos – This ability was actually passed on to Krauser when he fused with his half-brother Garr Fengalon. Garr had learned this ability when he fused with Krauser's son, Crichton Killener. This attack is an area attack. Krauser releases several pulses of his energy into the sky which return moments later as a hazily glowing cloud above the area. When he is ready to attack he wills the cloud to release a downpour of chaos energy rain droplets. The amount of energy charged into this attack is divided into thousands of individual droplets. Being struck by just a few of these droplets could easily make a weaker warrior very disoriented and weakened, yet being struck by several hundred, or even thousands of them can quickly destroy a weaker opponent and even cause serious damage to a more powerful warrior. This ability is sheer terror for warriors significantly weaker than Krauser. (Action Ability)

Level 45 Ability:

Final Chaos – Krauser developed this ability when he received the Chaos Gem from his father, Deus Killener. It seemed as if the gem actually programmed the information Krauser needed to make this ability into his mind when he touched its surface. During this ability Krauser actually summons up two massive orbs, each about four feet in diameter, one is usually red and the other black. Krauser enlarges the red orb, and then he throws it into the sky usually several hundred feet straight up. Second, Krauser then begins to power up the black orb, the red comes to a dead stop in the sky, and he then chucks the massive black orb straight up. Both of these orbs are always highly concentrated with energy. Third, the two orbs slam into each other; this creates a massive explosion that results in another orb. This orb is actually several hundred feet in diameter; it is massive and contains streaks of red throughout a black surface, the overall level of energy in the new orb consist of the previous two orb’s total power level.

This new massive orb usually blocks out the sun, which in turn causes the area to become dark as night. Krauser then teleports directly behind the massive creation and rears back to punch it and after punching the massive orb it will slowly shift through the sky and head for the ground. The orbs total speed is equal to that of Krauser’s own agility and for every one foot that the orb travels back towards the ground it gains two thousand more points in its own speed. The orb is actually made out of a strange energy similar to that of the Chaos Gem and the energy actually absorbs anything that it comes into contact with that has a power level weaker than its own. As the massive orb travels to the planet from the sky anything thrown at its mass that is lower in power than the orb itself will instantly be consumed.

Any being with Killener blood in the area is completely immune to the effects of the orb, meaning that if they come into contact with the orb as it crashes to the ground they will simply flow through the mass of the orb untouched. When the massive orb impacts with the planet it will completely destroy anything in the area that has a level lower than its own. It also seems to burrow deep into the planet, usually several hundred feet, then implode on itself forcing anything that may have survived the initial strike into a large void in the center of its mass. The orb’s void energy level is one third of Krauser's own energy damage. After several moments of this the massive orb/void will slowly fade away, leaving nothing more than a massive crater in the area several hundred feet in diameter. (Action Ability)

Level 55 Ability:

Eye of Chaos - This is by far one of the most powerful attacks that Krauser uses. He learned this during some of his training inside the Book of Solaris over the years. As he powers up he forms a large orb of chaotic energy around him, this orb will absorb anything that touches its outside. Krauser stays inside of the orb throughout the entire ordeal. While Krauser is inside of the orb he can maneuver it anywhere and anything that touches the outside of the orb will quickly be absorbed into its own mass. After Krauser reaches his target he charges up causing the orb to expand in all directions, annihilating anything that its outside layer comes in contact with. After this orb has expanded a certain distance, it will dissipate. The more power Krauser uses, the further the orb will reach in all directions. During this ability Krauser basically becomes the attack, the orb consumes his body and he controls its every move, being his best ability and quite possibly one of the most extreme. The reason it is called “Eye of Chaos” is because of the fact that Krauser is in the eye of the attack being perfectly protected and safe from everything outside of the orb and even the orb itself. Because it absorbs what it touches, no objects can be thrown through it to hit Krauser, that is, unless they are more powerful than the orb itself. (Action Ability)

Level 65 Ability:

Capacity for Chaos - Krauser has been a chaos user for such a long time that he has developed an almost natural capacity for producing the energy with less effort than others. While many chaos users are only able to make use of the energy by carrying a chaos artifact or relic, Krauser has become permanently attuned to it. He once needed the Chaos Gem, but after it was destroyed and his body was bombarded with the radiation of three completely different prime energies all at once, he was suddenly able to wield chaos freely. This ability increases his energy potency by 0.1. (Preset Ability)

Level 75 Ability:

Chaotic Event Horizon – This ability was born by accident after Krauser managed to combine the demi element with chaos energy. During the process of this ability Krauser creates what appears as a tiny black hole that surges with red and black energy. This mini-black hole is powerful enough to swallow up his weakened opponents with little fuss. It begins as a small orb of concentrated energy that is launched at his opponent, and paused in midair just before impact. The orb then begins to collapse in on itself, creating a void. This void will produce a tremendous amount of suction and swallow up anyone or anything around it. Any opponent with less hit points than this abilities energy damage will instantly be sucked right into the void if they stand, fly, or float within thirty feet of its focal point. (Action Ability)

Level 85 Ability:

Chaos Mastery – After a many years of handling chaos energy Krauser has become a master at wielding and controlling it. Even though chaos energy is normally an incredibly disruptive energy, Krauser can do amazing things with it. After becoming so fluent in the chaotic arts Krauser learned out to use chaos energy in defensive and offensive manners, as well as passively. Passively, this ability prevents his chaos usage from being interupted during battle. Defensively and offensively it can be used as if it were a tool, forming material objects such as simple tools (lock picks, hammers, shovels, etc) or even weapons and armors (daggers made of pure energy or gauntlets perhaps). Krauser is also able to use chaos energy as an extension of his body, including forming a protective second layer of skin around his entire body, or forming a massive fist (sort of like a giant boxing glove) of pure chaotic energy many times the size of his regular fist for a quick blow on his opponents. Anything he creates however is only temporary, and can only be used briefly during a battle as it takes incredible concentration to form such objects. (Passive Ability)

Level 95 Ability:

Pandemonium Assault (Signature Ability) – After traveling to the Solarian solar system’s binary center (Alpha and Omega) and disposing of the three Prime Energy core stones something very incredible happened to Krauser. His powers had been drained completely and the disruption caused by the exploding core stones prevented him from teleporting home. Krauser was left floating in the freezing depths of outer space, slowly suffocating and freezing to death. As his vision faded and he became delusional his body was pulled into the orbit of Omega, the smaller of the two binary stars, and then something very spectacular occurred. As it turned out, the destruction of the prime energy core stones had not only prevented a third flux initiation in the future for planet Solaris, but it had released the three Prime Energies from their imprisonment within the stones. Krauser was already so adept in the arts of Chaos energy that the Prime Energy of Chaos itself seemed to attune to his very soul. Moments before his demise an unknown force summoned him to an unknown region of the Nomaverse, the Pandemonium Arc.

The Pandemonium Arc is very similar to the Solaris Arc station in size, shape, and appearance. Like the Solarian Arc, the Pandemonium Arc can be used as an incredible weapon. It rests in the far reaches of the Nomaverse and normally lies completely dormant and uninhabited. When Krauser awakened on planet Solaris many months later he had developed an incredible ability. He had been gifted an incredible knowledge and newfound control over Chaos energy. From that point on, Krauser discovered he was able to summon an ungodly force from the depths of the Nomaverse… the Pandemonium Arc’s weapon array. This ability allows Krauser to temporarily awaken the Pandemonium Arc to fire off a single controlled shot of chaos energy. Once triggered, the cannon fires a beam of chaos energy across the Nomaverse through the Solarian Galaxy and down to planet Solaris where it detonates upon impact. Krauser can summon forth a single shot over an extended period of time that does the same amount of damage as his energy damage to every opponent in the area, not just a single target. This ability is undodgeable to all in the area and it applies energy burn effects. (Action Ability)

Krauser's past...

After living thousands years and partaking in many terrible acts, ending uncountable amounts of innocent lives, Deus Killener decided to create a child or a remake of himself. He chose a being of the Guardian race to be a carrier for the child. Deus used his amazing abilities to impregnate a Guardian female with his very own, designed son. The Guardian female known as Liu had already formed her first son, Garr Fengalon, many years ago in the Guardian Temple using a stone tablet. This time she would give birth to an actual egg, which is possible, but very rare.

After the few short weeks it took for the egg to gestate within Liu, she laid it and was immediately killed by Deus himself. Deus killed her because she was the only living creature that knew of the occurrence besides an Omegian known as Urobolus, the Head Scientist of Solaris City at the time. After putting an end to Liu, Deus took the egg to the Solaris City Laboratory and gave it to Urobolus so that he could watch over it while he was away. Deus knew that it would take nearly four years for the Guardian egg to hatch and had many things to do during this time. This is also why Guardians normally “create” their children on stone tablets in the Guardian Temple.

Deus left for a distant area of the Nomaverse known as Obel's Nebula while expecting the egg to be ready when he returned. Strangely, after only a few weeks, the egg hatched right in front of Urobolus while still inside one of the laboratories incubators. Urobolus was astounded at this occurrence, this should not have been possible by any means, but it happened none the less. Urobolus took the strange, hair-color changing, silver-eyed baby into his care. Since Deus was nowhere to be found and wasn't expected to return to Solaris for another four years, Urobolus named the child Krauser Killener. The name Krauser came from the name of a famous Solarian explorer that discovered the area where they built Solaris City and Killener, obviously enough, was Deus’s own last name.

Krauser grew very quickly, his hair changing colors whenever his mood changed. He was up and about at only a few weeks old. By the time he was four months old he was speaking Ancient Solarian and Common Tongue quite fluently and was reading stacks of books from the Library of Solaris in a matter of hours. Urobolus knew that this had to be the power of Deus behind every bit of the strange multitude of abilities the baby exhibited. After Krauser turned a year old Urobolus began training him in the holographic simulators in the Lab.

In the holographic simulators of Solaris City’s Laboratory Krauser learned many new things, including several techniques of martial arts, grappling, wrestling, fencing, and several other forms of combat. He learned how to channel energy and fly early on as well. Krauser developed at an astounding rate during the first two years of his life, then he began to slow down, already being the size of a human eight year old and with the intelligence of a young adult human but still childish in his ways. Urobolus put Krauser into the Academy of Solaris City at the age of three, although he was three he looked just like the ten year old Solarian students he studied with. Deus returned to Solaris City and watched his son from the shadows, completely surprised by how he had developed. He threatened Urobolus several times thinking the scientist had done something to his boy to make him develop quicker but quickly discovered by watching saved security videos that the boy developed completely on his own. For an unknown reason Deus completely left his son in the care of Urobolus and didn’t return for many years.

While in the Academy of Solaris City Krauser met up with Ramsus Vormav, a student from the floating Malduke City. The two immediately became best friends and were constantly together most of the time. After a couple years in the Academy Krauser met a well developed youth by the name of Xeno. Xeno had no last name and was from the ruins of Manark City, which had been destroyed during the “Great Wars” of Solaris many years ago. Krauser, Ramsus, and Xeno all got along quite well and this in turn made all three of them a perfect trio. Ramsus was swift and stealthy, Xeno was brutal and merciless, and Krauser was the mighty leader. The group always stayed together in their missions and assignments and always seemed to be at the top of their class.

Krauser as a Solarian Soldier...

By the time Krauser was seventeen he was a very well developed warrior, he graduated the Academy of Solaris City and became a Knight in the unmatched military of Solaris City. After many wars and battles he became well known as the Omni Knight dubbed this by his friend Ramsus. He was known as Omni due to his uncanny ability to be in many places at once during battles and being a nearly omnipotent warrior in the field. Xeno became known as the Xeno Knight and always fought right alongside with Krauser. Ramsus on the other hand slowly began to head off on his own path.

Krauser and Ramsus seemed to slowly separate as friends but still remained in contact over the years. Krauser had become the Elite Master of Solaris and this set Ramsus to shame, the two of them had always been very competitive of each other and once Krauser finally beat Ramsus to their primary goal they split apart completely. Xeno on the other hand stayed right at Krauser’s side.

Around Krauser’s 30th birthday Deus returned to Solaris and tried to talk his son into leaving with him many times and failed on each attempt. This infuriated Deus and he slowly developed anger towards his son and later, to test Krauser, he attacked a group of travelers heading towards the beaches Xhan Tarn. Krauser ended the mischief, saving the lives of the travelers, and this in turn enraged Deus. Deus thought that Krauser would understand his cause of wanting to actually rid the entire planet of all humanoid species and Krauser didn’t see things eye-to-eye with his father.

The two quickly discovered their hatred for each other and constantly engaged in small battles across the planet over the following years. Their biggest battle was fought on the small planet of Nidorian, which no longer exist due to other causes. Krauser had always preferred not to use a weapon in battle, but in a final desperation he had to use his sword against his father, nearly killing him.

As they both laid in the dirt of the foreign planet beside each other, slowly bleeding to death, a mighty figure appeared in the clouds. This figure was none other than the Elder God of Solaria Galaxy, Sunder. Knowing Deus' plans, and understanding that something had to be done about it. Sunder took a solid form (the form of a giant Kranthelior) and actually grabbed Deus by the legs, tossing him into the air and swallowing him whole into the void of his great belly. He then turned away and with a quick glance back to Krauser he leapt into the sky and vanished. Moments later a group of Vincent Drones arrived and reclaimed their badly injured Elite Master.

While serving as Elite Master, Krauser had several female companions. The first love of his life was Niobe Kaften, a young beautiful elven woman that he had his first child with, Crichton Killener. They also had a second child, a baby girl, which Niobe killed shortly after the birth of their son. Niobe and Krauser separated and not long afterwards Niobe tried to have Krauser assassinated not once, but twice. After two failed attempts she tried to pull the job off on her own, and her final attempt was foiled by none other than Ramsus Vormav. After Krauser refused to end her life, Ramsus took it upon himself to quite literally stomp her skull into the dirt, and as he walked away he quietly said "...for Krauser’s sake."

The second love of his life was Nina Senaina, a very beautiful young woman. They spent a lot of time together but never had a child, regardless of what many had thought. Oddly enough the relationship was cut short due to Nina being struck down by a very serious illness, the purple plague, to avoid her death they fused, ultimately staying together forever. During Krauser's reign as Elite Master he traveled all over the planet of Solaris, where he eventually ran into another beautiful young woman by the name of Delaria Kai. They met during one of Krauser's council trips to Basein City and they quickly took a liking to each other. Oddly enough, Eastern and Western Solarians never seem to get along, especially like each other. Just as they were starting to get serious Krauser had to leave on a trip to Arc and couldn't return to Delaria for quite some time. It is thought that the two secretly met up with each other on many occasions.

Later on Krauser and Ramsus suddenly started talking again, but Ramsus came to Krauser with a request. Ramsus had slowly broken down over the years and had finally given up on life, at which point he hunted down Krauser and after much negotiation they fused. Ramsus ultimately got what he wanted, the title of Elite Master. Krauser's personality changed once he fused with Ramsus. He unfortunately took Ramsus's anger, hate, and his lethal attitude when they fused together.

Shortly after having any real contact with his half brother Garr Fengalon, after Krauser had fused with Ramsus, Krauser and Garr ALSO fused. The reason for it was not certain, but it was later said that Garr had been stricken ill with some sort of strange disease native to the Guardian race. Others said Garr had given up the will to live due to other circumstances. After the fusion with Garr, the new personality helped Krauser keep the worst of Ramsus away, and he seemed to have gained back his kind and honorable ways, just like his older brother Garr, but still seemed to have a bad side at times.

Not to long after Krauser had fused with Garr and Ramsus he seemed to develop a strange new consciousness deep within his mind. This new personality later became known as Bahumura. Bahumura was similar to Krauser in moods, but was much more playful and childish. With Krauser's Mask of Illusion, Bahumura nearly had a body of his own, as well as a face. Krauser, at times, actually allowed this new personality to take control.

After allowing the personality of Bahumura to take control a bit to often due to a long struggle with depression the personality eventually became so powerful it almost took over the body. After having many struggles with the personality of Bahumura, Krauser decided he had taken quite enough and expelled Bahumura into the Killener Void, letting the essence of the new being have a sort of life of its own. This ended the connection between Krauser Killener and Bahumura.

Later on Krauser actually travelled to Earth in search of a lost member of the Killener bloodline. Krauser had decided he had done enough as the Elite Master of Solaris and trained his new distant relative, known as Brett Johnson, to take his place. Krauser cloned himself, producing an Omegian by the name of Urobolus II, and shortly after Brett fused with this new entity. The new creation of Brett and Urobolus II created a being known as Oomaru Killener. Oomaru then took over the job as the Elite Master of Solaris and Krauser took his place as an Elder of Solaris. After becoming an Elder, Krauser took a long deserved vacation back to Basein City, where he met back up with Delaria Kai and eventually had a son, Hauer Killener. Shortly after Krauser and Delaria married. Krauser's new life revolved around Delaria and his son. At the time, many warriors believed that they lived somewhere in Western Solaris or the Outer Banks (the group of planetoids orbiting Solaris with Arc), possibly living on a Western Solarian controlled asteroid known as Cloud Nine.

Krauser seldom returned to visit Solaris City or any of the new Eastern Warriors, or even his good friend Lumione Therion, which he met during his reign as Elite Master. After marrying Delaria, he nearly disappeared from the world of Solaris altogether.

At some point Oomaru Killener turned over the title of Elite Master to Lumione Therion and for an unknown reason hunted Krauser down and requested to fuse with him. They fused and Oomaru was never heard from again.

Krauser as a fighter...

Back in the days of being an Elite Knight for the Solaris City military, Krauser used a sword. Later when he gained more power he decided to refrain from using a weapon in battle unless he absolutely had to. In later days he mainly used various forms of martial arts he picked up in his travels around the planet. He learned many different techniques and fighting styles, but when it came down to it, he used brute strength and overwhelming power on most of his enemies. He's an expert in controlling Chaos Energy and also in using Plasma Energy. If brute force fails, he'll usually outsmart his opponent in some way, and is surprisingly good at parrying attacks from his opponents.

Krauser's present status...

After following the advice of a mysterious voice Krauser traveled into the Perma Tarn'Rah gateway in the Anomalous Region of Solaris. He returned several months later to discover that his wife, Delaria, had betrayed him and that his home had been obliterated. It had seemed Delaria had been working with Grey and the Brotherhood of Anguish for quite some time, perhaps Krauser had known something was a miss, perhaps not. Using his absence to their advantage they destroyed Cloud Nine and turned the well known Planetary Guardian, Vincent, to the ways of the brotherhood.

For a man who's wife had left him in the worst of ways and who's home he had worked so hard to build had been destroyed, Krauser seemed a man of little action and very few words after his return. He never spoke of the things he encountered “on the other side” and after his return, he slowly seemed to remove himself from what remained of society. Where he calls home now is anyones guess and whether or not he still holds any allegiances with the warriors of Solaris is yet to be determined.
