The Simurgh

"I am The Simurgh, and I am known for mine brilliance in battle."

- The Simurgh to Dukamu

"The Simurgh", true name Klak, is the version of Klak from the Dark Universe.

History
Little is known about Klak's life, save that he was once a powerful warrior who founded an organization named the Claws of the Phoenix for an unknown purpose. He also appointed Strike Destiny, a trusted ally with whom he fought side-by-side in battle, as his second-in-command. When the armies of Tahar'ok attacked the Claws, Klak fought their leader one-on-one in a violent skirmish that seemingly resulted in the deaths of them both. However, this was a façade, as he reconstructed himself and took upon the name of the Simurgh to maintain the common belief that Klak was dead.

In the RPG
In 150,084 CMT, the Simurgh appeared to Dukamu in one of his dimensional realms and bowed before him. He introduced himself as one known for brilliance in battle, who had come to lend his services to Dukamu, a man who he saw as the destined ruler of reality. Dukamu enquired as to the Simurgh's army, to which the Simurgh replied that his army consisted of just himself. Their conversation was interrupted by Monarch, who notified Dukamu of the discovery of Jopulon energy in the Original Universe. The Simurgh asked Dukamu what Jopulon energy was, so Dukamu recited the legend of Jopulon and his supposed discovery of Jopulon energy, and divulged that he and his men were also investigating the theoretical power. Dukamu then led the Simurgh into another room that contained a Void Ship and asked what he thought. The Simurgh correctly guessed that it was a vessel of some sort.
