Orion Pax

Whatever the Architect can do, I can do better. Orion Pax was a mechanoid loyal to TPK who became the leader of the Knights of the Great Beings when the latter took control of the Great Beings' empire.

Rise to Power
Orion Pax had seemingly been a member of the Knights of the Great Beings for some time before TPK's takeover. Following that event, TPK made Orion Pax the leader of the Knights. One of his first actions in his new position was to travel to Angonce's prison and stop him from communicating with the outside world. He did this by destroying Angonce's computer and gloating to him about his new leadership before leaving.

He returned during the 797th Meeting of the Council of Great Beings alongside Mafre and Tercio to dispose of the Great Beings who objected to TPK's new plans. Merlin teleported the three of them to his lab before they could harm anyone, but they eventually escaped and the dissenters either fled or were eliminated shortly afterwards anyway.

Battle of the BZP Staff HQ
When the Users were preparing to attack the BZP Staff HQ, TPK ordered Orion Pax to intervene. Orion Pax took Tercio, Crankcase, Leadfoot, and some Cybermen with him to BZPower and set up positions around the HQ. He was a major participant in the battle that followed, though he spent most of it duelling the Architect in an intense swordfight when said User's helicopter crashed into the HQ. During the battle, Orion Pax seemingly killed the User with his rifle, but this only caused the Architect to transform into his Ace Ventura form and come back even stronger. This time, the Architect kicked Orion Pax out of the window, who landed on and crushed Takuma Nuva. Orion Pax looked around for a new opponent, and saw User MK nearby. He pulled out a glowing axe and charged at him, but MK buried him with liquid cement which then rapidly solidified.

He was rescued by a random Knight of the GBs, who destroyed the cement with a bomb. When the dust settled, Orion Pax was revealed to have transformed into a new, sleeker form, which he tested out by fighting MK with. The two exchanged superpowered blows, but their fight came to an end when Orion Pax saw his ally Tercio losing against Omicron. He decided to give a helping hand by fighting Omicron instead. After beating him up for a while, Omicron realized that he was actually supposed to be on their side, so they joined forces to mount a counterattack against the Users. Unfortunately, they ran out of time and Black Six was defeated, so Orion Pax grabbed the admin and teleported him to safety. He then teleported to TPK's location to tell him what happened. Satisfied with his report, TPK dismissed Orion Pax, but not before telling him that he would receive another mission later.

Battle of Shinobi-Nui
Orion Pax's next mission was to lead an attack on the island of Shinobi-Nui. He did so with airships and airborne Rahi for an aerial assault. When his airship arrived over the island, he jumped out and singlehandedly attacked The Cabana, but was pulled inside by Sasuken. He was dangled over a Tarakava pit, but dropped some grenades in, shot at the Cabana's internal systems, and teleported back onto his airship. Unfortunately for him, a nearby volcano suddenly exploded and caused his airship to crash. Orion Pax bailed out and climbed up a nearby hill to take aim at the Toa Idiotas with a sniper rifle, but was shot in the back of the head by Xeno, who had set up his own sniper's nest behind him. The bullet punctured through one of Orion Pax's eyes, but he survived. Upon realizing that he was now blind in one eye, he teleported away out of shock.

The Mazkertis Paradox
Following TPK's death on Shinar-Karana, Orion Pax met with Huriel to discuss what to do next. They agreed that they needed an honorable leader to replace TPK and unite the differing factions of the Great Beings' empire. Eventually, they realized that the best candidate for leadership was one they had already exiled: Angonce. Orion Pax and Huriel went to Angonce's prison with the damaged Black Phantom in tow as a gift, who they could use to reveal all of Ganos Lal's secrets. Black Phantom listened closely as Orion Pax and Huriel told Angonce of their plans for the empire, and decided to take action. When Orion Pax asked the robot who his master was, Black Phantom replied "my master is dead, and so are you". Before Orion Pax could react, the droid detonated an explosive that killed them all.
