DISCIPLES OF CYTTORAK
Membership: None identified
Purpose: To worship Cyttorak the Rage-father and to
protect the Gem of Cyttorak
Aliases: None
Affiliations: Cyttorak,
Juggernaut (Cain Marko)
Enemies: Thor (Odinson)
Base of Operations: Thailand, Crimson Temple of
Cyttorak;
formerly Korea, Temple of Cyttorak
First Appearance: Thor VII#1 (August, 2018)
Powers: The Disciples were all armed with melee
weapons and trained to use them: long knives, scimitars, long-hilted
broad scimitars, glaives, maces. They were belligerent and showed no
fear to confront head-to-head even a God of Thunder.
Their teeth were pointed, and they used them to eat human flesh.
The disciples were also priests of Cyttorak's belief.
The knowledge acquired in this role comprised arcane matters. Some of
them knew magic and used it when needed, including performing a ritual
of dream-binding or helping Cyttorak to interact with someone he wanted to
test. Their arcane knowledge allowed them to recognize a magic item of power such as
the Warlock's Eye, as well as to know how to use it. They recognized Thor and
his Asgardian heritage. They also knew about Mjolnir and the rules that
accompanied it.
They considered Thor a blasphemous god and all the
ones who believed in him to be blasphemers
The priests wore similar outfits.
They all had (presumably) shaved heads, with the exception of a tall
hair crest, combed in different shapes. Many
of them had eyebrows joined from eye to eye and eyes abnormally open,
with very tiny pupils or no pupils at all.
History: (Thor VII#1) -
The Disciples of Cyttorak lived in the Temple of Cyttorak,
worshipping their god, protecting the Temple and the Gem of
Cyttorak. They also ate human flesh. They didn't
despise to eat the flesh of other intelligent beings such as an
Asgardian's.
Comments: Created by Jason Aaron and Michael del Mundo.
Thanks to their belief and their
continual presence in the Temple, it was easier for the priests
to be contacted by Cyttorak.
The presence of the disciples in the Temple
does not totally exclude the presence of the lower demons that
protected the Gem when Ahmet
Abdol was chosen as a Champion of Cyttorak; it is unlikely
but not impossible, if they all followed the orders of Cyttorak.
