Appearance: Advent is a dominating presence - a large, muscular anthro creature with short white fur, a short tail, dreadlock-like tendrils on the back of his head, and slitted nostrils. Light blue lines and circles run along his face and body and his eyes are a penetrating crimson peering out from pools of darkness. He wears shoulder armor, joined across his back and connected at his front by a golden chain. He also wears a kind of loincloth with ancient human symbols written on it beneath a kind of canvas material that envelops his legs. |

Personality: Advent is cold and grim, his malicious presence so strong that it can be felt upon approach. He loathes the anthro race for, it is assumed, being the result of unnatural human experimentation. Advent is arrogant and self-assured - he believes he has no equal and is the one chosen by his 'mother' to cleanse the planet and continue her ancient mission, which is one no one can fathom.
Advent is a heartless murderer who is not afraid to use his abilities but prefers not to waste them on those he considers to be insignificant pests - i.e. any anthro creature. He also carries a particular disdain for humans and enjoys watching them suffer, by his hand or their own.

History: Advent was the first attempt by the ancient humans to create an anthro. The humans combined elements of their own genetic structure with those of the ancient Echidnas. To do this, they had to rely on the presence of DNA from D.I.V.I.N.I.T.Y., an immensely strong creature that had originally destroyed their homeworld.
They believed their experiment was a success until it abruptly turned against them. Advent proved to have inherited the tremendous psychic abilities from D.I.V.I.N.I.T.Y. and, while he seemed inexperienced with them, proved to be more than the humans could handle. He was sealed away in Threshold, the moon base of the humans, for many years. He eventually broke free, however, and escaped to their space station. After a long, devastating battle, he was subdued and placed in cryostasis before being locked away in a facility on Mobius.
Even though his body was frozen, Advent's mind still worked. It observed the events of Mobius as they unfolded - the catastrophe that nearly annhilated the humans, the resulting ice age, and the growth of anthros. He slowly began to consolidate his strength and, when it was time, sent a controlled psychic attack to the human space station and triggered the release of one of his inferior copies, a creature called Scion. Some time later, Scion dug up the facility he was trapped in and brought his pod to Tolaria.
Scion helped him regain his strength, eventually gaining possession of D.I.V.I.N.I.T.Y.'s head and reducing it to energy before passing it to Advent. It proved to be what Advent needed and Advent awoke to pursue his mission - to eradicate all traces of humans, the foreign meddlers, from Mobius. The anthros would be the first to be destroyed.
The Raiders chased him from Tolaria to the mainland back up to his birthplace in space. Eventually they confronted him in Threshold, and after a battle showcasing tremendous abilities, Advent was blown into the energy core before the entire building self-destructed.
