Biography
Ignatus is a very old Mahlok... almost none ttruly know how old. He claims to have lived on Terra Nova all his life, where he betrayed his people during the latter half of the Xenocide War and joined the side of Xarkon, giving them valuable information about his people while flying an aerospace fighter with them into battle. For his aid in the war and several shows of loyalty, Ignatus was eventually given a leadership of his own fighter squadron, which he led into battle against any foes he could face. Over one hundred and fifty years later, he met Lucas Mars, who was then a general in the Xarkon Army. The two saw each other as kindred spirits, and they helped one another rise through the ranks. When Mars became High General and then High Commander of the Armed Forces, he soon awarded Ignatus with the position of High Admiral of the Aerospace Forces. The Mahlok thus became the first Native to earn such a high rank in the military of one of the four largest Human factions. Ignatus then helped in the design and construction of Xarkon's largest starship, and perhaps the largest ever built... the Angurvadel. From this flagship, Ignatus now has full control over the skies of Xarkon.

Description
Ignatus shows no fear as he strides the command deck of the Angurvadel, wearing his signature uniform that looks like a combination of traditional Mahlok and Xarkon uniforms. He goes unarmed, typically making use of only his physical strength and the fire powers of his race to defend himself. Mars saw Ignatus as a kindred spirit because their own philosophies are so much alike. Ignatus claims to have left his people because their current system of leadership rewarded those who were cowardly liars at heart. The Mahlok of the Helexith Coalition usually command their battles from afar, often fleeing before the face of the enemy. Instead, they send their slave race, the Slashrim, into battle, fooling them with religious lies to fuel their fervor and loyalty. Ignatus wished to test his own personal mettle, but his bravery only met with scorn from his kindred. He believes in the power of the individual, and in the honor of fighting one's own battles and testing one's own strength, just like Mars. Mars, who had never expected to find such a similar philsophy in another being, has rewarded him highly for this. Indeed, it is said that Ignatus may be one of the few who truly knows Mars personally.
