Rycus Kilran

Rycus is a legendary Asgardian hero hailing from Norse mythos. His time in Universe A-231 has been extensive as he seeks to prevent evils in this universe from spreading to Asgard's doorstep.

Rycus was first introduced to the UR when the God of Time himself resurrected Rycus from his first death in his sleep. His main goal was too prevent Morgoth's influence from extended, but overtime his goals became more expanded to assisting the Pike Empire hold onto power during the numerous tumultuous conflicts it went through.

Rycus's first and successful mission was acquiring allies in his team. He went to the Pike Empire during the 'Dark Ages', in which the Pikes were squaring off against the Dark Imperial forces for supremacy in the political ring. Here, Rycus met Talion, one of his oldest friends, and the snarky wraith Celebrimbor.

Together the two went on numerous quests, the most important being to rampage through an army of Draugr to rescue Rycus's wife Serana from the clutches of Molag Bal.

After this mission, Rycus continued embarking on many missions against enemy forces, mainly Dark Imperials, and even got Asgard to personally assist in many campaigns.

Rycus's heroics would emerge years after the War of Darkness ended, when he and Talion infiltrated Sauron's Superlaser Station to destroy it. After rampaging through ceaseless guards, Rycus and Talion faced Sauron. The battle was ferocious, but eventually Talion was forced to bravely sacrifice himself to save Rycus.

Driven to grief by his rage, Rycus's pure anger attracted the attentions of fallen god Morgoth and Eru Illvatar himself. Together they banished the Dark Lord's spirit.

Rycus was later seen assisting the new UR establish itself and fight against foreign threats. He reformed his Asgardian police force, the 'League of Realms', whom acted as an elite fighting force and dismantled many Autocratic operations in the Outer Rim.

Rycus's actions would earn him many titles of valor throughout the UR and he is widely recognised as a war hero. His League of Realms went on to rescue the very much alive Talion from a prison in Cambodia.
