Beware the Hanged Man's gaze. It is rare for him to acknowledge your presence, much less look upon you. A Gaze from him usually means a troubling future awaits.

Krigari's conquests were so vast that, as he slaughtered hundreds, thousands, and millions of lifes, he grew beyond the worlds of his youth until he razed his way through a multitude of sub-atomic realms.
Now he set his sights on Earth and most especially Honor Guard.

The Living Nightmare
Its history has been its namesake. It is indeed a nightmare, living an existence that is parasitic in nature, deriving its energy from the fear around it. Brief periods of time have been peaceful, emotionally controlled by a strong host able to calm its ravenous desire for raw, cold, primitive, horrific, and unbridled fright.
