Astracius

Profile
"Ahhh, another guinea pig."

Astracius is still the same cruel, cowardly menace he has always been. Only difference is he now commands the mighty Quintesson Empire...well what used to be mighty, and is struggling to regain what they had in that lost age. This is now Astracius' main aim, to bring his people back to their former glory, and therefore get them subjects to forward their science. More aware of others' needs now, he isn't so willing to waste energy needlessly, and so considers all proposed operations carefully. Evil to the circuit, his primary concern is always his own safety, would send whole regiments out to defend himself.

History
Pre-dating the Quintessons original occupation of Cybertron, Astracius is not only aware of exactly who the Cybertronians creator was, he worked with him prior to Primus departing to eventually create the Transformers.

While a mid-level scientist, Astracius performed untold horrors while experimenting on Transformer slaves during the original occupation. However unlike many Quintessons present was able to escape during the uprising.

Over the following millenium he increased his power within the Quintesson Empire, made easier by said Empires slow decline. Eventually, sometime after 2008 he ousted Verdicus (the Quintesson who presided over the trial of Hot Rod and Kup) to become Maximus Domine.

He has shown a distinct interest in Humans over the last two and a half decades, particularly Krystal MacKenzie. He has also developed an unhealthy interest in the Decepticon Airwolf.

He also appears to have a deep seated hatred for any other Quintesson that gets in the way of his plans or costs him resources, specifically those responsible for the second occupation of Cybertron and the loss of Trokius, both events he views as horrific mistakes.
