The Wraith

[Nokta]

Nokta was quickly and violently stripped of his quaint civilian life on Cybertron when his home was bombed by Autobot forces at the war’s onset. Since then, he has been a staunch supporter of Lord Megatron’s cause at every turn– even at the cost of his own soul.

COMPLETED*: 2022-2024 | Episode 3 - Episode 3.5

The discovery of a ghost signal beneath the icy shores of Greenland led to the rescue of a sole survivor from the wrecked transport Ad Infinitum. Joining his Decepticon brethren at Blackridge Hold, Lieutenant Nokta quickly became enamored by the opportunity to work directly under Megatron himself. Just as Megatron revealed an invasive plan to surgically exploit Nokta’s abnormal spark signature, Nokta began to suffer increasing nightmares and flashbacks to horrors he does not remember encountering within the halls of the Ad Infinitum.

ONGOING | Episode 3.5

The surgery was a success. Megatron’s plans hurdle forward, and Nokta remains ready and willing to serve the Decepticon cause. His ignorance of the stolen black box footage from the Ad Infinitum persists. A gnawing feeling yet grows in the back of Nokta’s helm. It’s been there for weeks now. He grows more fearful by the day that time may not have been all he lost during his long voyage to Earth. Pressure mounts as he is made the guardian of Megatron's astrogation beacon. It grows ever clearer that there are more optics on him now than ever before.
