Who is Nimbus?

When the Psions first arrived in the Vegan System , they found only two worlds inhabited by complex life forms. One of those worlds was Emana Branx, and its race of aggressive behemoths, the Branx Warriors. Unknown to the Psions, each Branx possessed a soul partner. When a warrior died, this angel of mercy carried his essence to a place of rebirth in some new, young Branx infant. Capturing an adult Branx, the Psions coldly attempted to crossbreed him with a female from the other life - nourishing planet Okaara . The woman, X'Hal, was unable to resist the Branx's superior strength, but the union remained fruitless until the Psions detected the presence of the Branx's soul partner, and managed to tear him away from his proper place. The angel of mercy fled shrieking into the void in the form of a nimbus of black light. Nimbus, as he came to be called, spent uncounted cycles wandering the Vegan star system.
