Tahar'zok was an alien who befriended Caiaphus when the Makuta was exiled to the Shattered Mirror Universe.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Tahar'zok is described as being a "strange, amphibious creature" with wings and turquoise armor.
History[edit | edit source]
In 625 CMT, Tahar'zok was flying his mining vessel through space when he noticed the unconscious Caiaphus floating in the void outside. Not knowing what else to do, he brought Caiaphus aboard his ship and took him to Tybion. When Caiaphus awoke, Tahar'zok enthusiastically introduced himself, so Caiaphus gave his own name and title in return. Tahar'zok told Caiaphus that he had found him in space and brought him to Tybion to rest, then brought up the matter of Caiaphus being a Makuta, and uneasily asked him who he served. Caiaphus told Tahar'zok not to fear, because he served no master and came from a different universe that was not involved in their conflicts. This put Tahar'zok's mind at ease, so he told Caiaphus that he was welcome on his world.[1]
Tahar'zok remained an ally of Caiaphus for thousands of years, during which Caiaphus became a well-known scientist on Tybion. Eventually, Tahar'zok accompanied Caiaphus to a warehouse on the planet Dast, which is where he helped to operate a portal machine that could take Caiaphus to the Knowledge Dimension. After ensuring that Caiaphus had made the proper calibrations, Tahar'zok activated the machine, and a portal was torn open in the middle of the room. Suddenly, lightning from outside struck the portal, which created an explosion that blew Tahar'zok into a wall and knocked him unconscious.[1]
When Tahar'zok regained consciousness, he found that the portal machine had been destroyed by the explosion. Fearing Caiaphus lost forever, Tahar'zok began to weep for his fallen friend, but was interrupted by the opening of a tear in the space-time continuum. Caiaphus stepped forth, but he had been warped and corrupted by dark energies, and he embarked on a rant about how he had become the embodiment of chaos. Tahar'zok could do nothing but stare in terror at the distorted visage of his former friend.[1]
Tahar'zok's eventual fate has not been revealed.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Tahar'zok's name follows the Ta'har naming convention, but because his appearance as it is described is significantly different to how both OU and SMU Ta'har appear, his species is listed as "unknown".
