Ahileos

''Disclaimer, almost all information here is custom lore. Blame the Blizzard writers for not worldbuilding everything during the Legion expansion.''

''Another disclaimer, this page is mostly about Antaens themselves but still contains relevant information to the character Ahileos. By all means, feel free to use the information below as you will!''

Ahileos is an Antaen created on the burning world of Argus, a few thousand years after the planet had fallen to the Burning Legion. All other Antaens are utterly colossal, being great entities of flesh and Fel-infused metals to the point they are larger than most Fel Reavers or Gomothi constructs. There is hardly much known about the Antaen species due to both their rarity and the normal enigmatic nature of Demons. What is known about Antaens though, is that they are mostly artificial. Ahileos' "birth" or rather, creation, was no different than others of his species.

The process takes a considerable amount of time, resources, and souls. The amount of materials used depends on the class of Antaen being produced, so far, there have only been a requirement for three types, and those being:

Sentinels Are the rarest form, and are the largest of the three. The roles a Sentinel fulfills is to watch over important Legion controlled worlds under the commands of the Eredar they unquestionably serve. A Sentinel's gaze is known to pierce through veils, and extend over several miles given there are no physical obstacles. A Sentinel's sigil, when fully charged, can instantly bring down massive vessels that the Lightforged have at their disposal. Their strength is unmatched, their flesh and armor capable of shrugging off powerful Smites and other similar spells.

Unlike the Legion Bearers, a Sentinel's Sigil is not meant for summoning demons.

It takes nearly a hundred souls to be merged into the core of a Sentinel, and with the material requirements it would be easier to just create a Legion Vessel. This is why they are very, very few.

Soldiers Act as a middle ground for the Antaen subtypes, they are much smaller than the Sentinels and Legion Bearers. A Soldier's role is quite obvious, that being to either be deployed first or fight on the front lines instead of other Demons. Soldiers are the only ones that use weapons other than their fists and Sigils.

Antaen Soldiers, despite being a 6th of the size of a Sentinel boast somewhat half of their combat capability. Their smaller size allows for greater speed and accuracy, as well as fitting inside of most places instead of just walking through them.

Most of the time, an Antaen Soldier's weapon is either a greatsword held in one hand, or a maul also held in one hand. These weapons are literally filled with Fel Lava, and give off an incinerating aura of heat that makes it difficult for non-demons to withstand. Should these weapons be destroyed in combat, the molten Fel contained will do what it does best, melt everything that it splashes upon.

Their perception is not as perfect as the Sentinel when it comes to range, but their Sigils do allow for a full 360 degree viewing capability. A Soldier's Sigil can summon lesser Demons, or slowly allow a greater Demon to emerge over time. Or, if that is not what's needed, they can instead charge a devastating blast akin to a Sentinel's own. It would take about five of them to bring down a Lightforged's higher tier vessel with shots from a Soldier's Sigil.

Legion Bearers Surprisingly are the least combative, and are rarely even seen or known to exist. Demons know full well that they exist and rely on them, however. Their purpose is clear when the Burning Legion is invading a world and they do not have the time to set up Portals. It takes only one Antaen Legion Bearer to assist with starting an invasion, as their Sigils can nearly continuously pour out Demons under the Eredar's command.

They are smaller than Sentinels, but larger than Soldiers.

Legion Bearers still boast extreme physical prowess, but are more likely to lose a fight against equally sized opponents due to their main role being to summon Demons.
