Emperor Gyeno of Goena - Concept 1

This is a concept for Gyeno, the industrial Drixilian emperor of the western arctic province of Goena, in my RAVAGE AND REQUIEM series.

Throughout the ages, Gyeno has proven to be quite a shrewd manipulator, as Gyeno is not only one of the tetrarchs of the Penterium but is also one of the Drixilian Scions, a shard of Drixilo himself. Gyeno's brothers include Zilan, the recent ruler of the Penterium HInge, along with Tylphon-Teno, the former ruler of the Penterium, and Veliath, the former head general of Drixilo's armies. With Constanvol, a Drixile rebel, being the spawn of Veliath and Gyeno's nephew, this technically makes Constanvol a Drixilian Scion as well.

Being apart from Drixilo, Gyeno, along with the other Scions, developed his own identity, will, and ambitions. Gyeno secretly defies the Drixilian order and seeks to elevate himself as a god by seeking to take the Thruus Dyla, the supposedly empty throne of Unzelkoyte in the heavenly realm of the Unleztruv, for himself, all the while stymieing Drixilo's efforts to do so. During the modern age prior to the Second Surfacing, Gyeno steadily took control of the majority of all the world's industries, under the alias, President Gyvenello. Gyeno even unified the nations of Raktogin into a world government under his command, serving as a steward until Zilan was able to enter Raktogin in corporeal form.

Some of Gyeno's accomplishments include implementing the controversial laboratories and facilities that utilized an experimental collider and revolutionary particle accelerator, a mere front for where the future site of the Imperial Core of the Penterium Hinge and the ominous gate to the Nevarifta would be constructed, unbeknownst to the human engineers commissioned by Gyeno.

Eregatho, a demon having lost the ability to assume a corporeal form due to past battles from ages past, petitioned to Gyeno to forge him a material body for Eregatho to be tethered to for the purpose of infiltrating Raktogin. In return, Eregatho would swear fealty to Gyeno, upon approval of House Oxil's government in the Nevarifta. Despite Eregatho's past failures, Gyeno reluctantly obliged Eregatho's petition, simultaneously seeing an opportunity to deceive the peoples of Raktogin even more, convincing them that Gyeno was a long-awaited god sent to save them from war, disease, political strife, and the increasing decay of the world. Eregatho's body was originally a metallic angelic sculpture with five feathered wings made to parody Unzelkoyte himself, the "missing" creator god of the Unleztruv. After the Second Surfacing, Eregatho's body was heavily damaged by a temporary coalition of the Yothish military, the Enoshah resistance, and the newly-formed Jyodem Nation of the Enpherom. Thus, Eregatho's body was revised into a menacing arachnoid demon dragon with four feathered wings and was assigned as Gyeno's Royal Arm, the lead defender of Goena.

In a similar manner, Kelvoc, the Flay Sire and Dranixile archdemon of the rippers, also petitioned to Gyeno for corporeal bodies to enter Raktogin, as they were beyond eager to participate in the impending invasion that would be prompted by the Second Surfacing. Being a Dranixile, Kelvoc and his rippers were considered exempt from swearing fealty to a Drixilian tetrarch, but this did not deter Gyeno from manipulating them as well for his own personal gain. Thus, Gyeno approved Kelvoc's petition and bioengineered an army of monstrous super soldiers to act as hosts for Kelvoc and his rippers to possess, as Gyeno and the other Drixiles did everything they could to conceal their true identities as demons, constantly using mass deception to their advantage.

Unlike Empress Noshva, who corrupts and manipulates nature, Gyeno commands industrial materials, weaponizing mainly metal, glass, and other synthetic matter, animating their shapes and forms at will, forming spikes, hammers, blades, etc. While the war hammer Gyeno wields in these images appears small, please note that Gyeno can alter its shape and size as he sees fit. This concept also includes the Drixilian imperial eye across his chest, gawking from his ribbed armor.

I tried my best not to make him look like some video game character, but I don't think I succeeded in that. Nevertheless, there will be more concepts on the way.
