Angelis (character)

Angelis is an Elder born on the Maneland of Equestria. As with all Elders, it appears to have no gender.

Angelis was born into the Elder community during the period known as Pre-Equestria. As with all of it's kind, Angelis had no name and followed heavy devotion to Psionic powers, possessing extreme skills even from birth. It also held a distrust for Ancients, Precursors, Progenitors and Keepers.

Angelis was involved in the uplifting of Sectoids and later Chryssalids. Upon becoming an adult, Angelis joined the Forgotten War in favour of the Elders. As a naturally talented being, it was easily able to take down overwhelming enemy forces without even touching them. However as the war raged and a Precursor facility was destroyed (releasing the Carar) Angelis began to lose faith in the Uber Elder. As this continued, Angelis abandoned its people.

Due to its apparent heresy Angelis was hunted by its own kind. However when the Maneland was put into quarantine by the Precursors, Angelis was also trapped on the island while its kin used their powers to escape to another world. Angelis was left as the last Elder left in Equestria, not aging and not infected by the Carar. It spent the several millennia underground, thinking and honing its skills.

Angelis became involved in Equestrian politics after the Dimensional War ended, listed as the representative of "Unusual Lifeforms" and actually given the name Angelis by Fielde Locke, who wasn't fond of calling it simply "the Heretic."

Angelis remained neutral throughout the Downtime but once the Equestrian Civil War began it was forced to fight personally. Angelis was the target of Solar Accord assassins but was able to defend itself and cause major Psionic trauma to Princess Cadance prior to Operation: Shattered Heart as punishment for the Mineral War, which had resulted in one of Angelis' "people" (Gylum) being injured.
