Tzitzi
The Starhunter
Tzitzi once served an empire that used his near-indestructible body in invasions. He sometimes used his ability to survive as a means of deception, allowing enemies to capture and dissect him so he could feed them false information. When a virus made him obsolete, his own kin dissected him to search for their species’ weaknesses. A human scholar named Kylokos rescued him and gave him the name he treasures. They explored the stars together; she left friends and family to protect him, and they joined Carcossa.
After the reset, he wonders who Kylokos became and whether she is happy, admitting a selfish part of him hopes she is not. A present-day professor named Kylokos shares her name, but their connection remains unknown. When the Carcossans debate Eos’s fate, Culla warns that killing her would leave Apophis and a young knight alone. Having lost his own partner, Tzitzi cannot stomach inflicting that loss on them. He refuses a new epithet, preferring the name his partner gave him.
