Who is Nexus?

Origin The power of Nexus Horatio was the only son of Sov General Theodore Hellpop. General Hellpop was the president of the Sov agricultural colony Vradic. When Vradic broke out in civil war, Hellpop escaped, after following orders to destroy the planet. His ship was sucked through a black hole to the far end of the galaxy near a dead world that had two moons. The moons later called Ylum (eye - lum) and Marlis respectively had vast underground cavern systems that were still habitable. Hellpop settled on Ylum where his son Horatio was born. Horatio was trained from birth by Alph and Beta , two creatures that posed as his imaginary friends, but were actually manifestations of the near godlike alien known as The Merk . Horatio developed the ability to fusion-kast, drawing his power through the Merk from nearby stars.
