History:
Eons past, Argher was born into a small hunter/gatherer tribe. It was said that he was born by a traveling nomad who called herself Gaii Longstride. He was raised to be a hunter, on the insistance of the tribe's shaman who claimed that his mother was none other than the Earth Spirit.
Argher grew quickly, growing taller and filling out to the point where he dwarved his tribemates. When he was twenty winters old, he was nearly twice the second tallest's height and easily as heavy as four or five men. Argher weight was easily justified just by his worth in hunting the giant mammoths and in defending his tribe against raids by other tribes.
When Argher was around 40 winters, a strange tribe begain showing up and capturing all the nearby tribes. Argher and a group of hunters fought them off when they came for his tribe, but it was to be the first of many...
Their leader, who called himself Saytorr'aK 'He Who Cannot Be Stopped' attacked Argher's tribe when Argher was hunting. Saytorr'aK and his hunters decimated the tribe as a lesson to any who sought to resist them.
Argher returned to a very empty and bloody village.
Determined to hunt down those responsible, Argher left his village after burning the bodies. He began systematically slaying any of Saytorr'aK's tribe when he encountered them. As hundreds turned to thousands, Argher was no closer to catching up to the man who had killed his tribe.
At 97, still in the prime of health, Argher believed that Saytorr'aK dead, having died of old age. Argher knew that he was close to the Earth Spirit and would likely live many winters more than his old adversary. Many friends and allies he had made over the years had all went back to the fire with old age.
Argher built a home in a large cave near what is presently called Tibet. He lived there for many centuries, hunting nearby game and trading with local tribes that were learning more and more as societies.
One one such trading day, he overheard a trader talking about dangerous, religious zealouts who called themselves the Slaves of Sitorack. They were a cult who had been around for ages, but had only recently began taking slaves in large numbers.
Hoping beyond hope, Argher traveled to their lands and found their temple. Cultists by the thousands sought to bare his way but Argher would not be stopped. For standing behind the alter was his old nemesis Saytorr'aK with the face that his mother had gifted to him by spirit dream.
For many nights and days did Argher and Saytorr'ak battle. Finally, Saytorr'aK made a fatal mistake and Argher was able to slip nehind him and break his neck. The surviving cultists flew from the temple.
Argher was resting, determined to leave the temple that morning when Saytorr'aK rose from death. When Argher stumbled in fear, Saytorr'ak showed him the gem of his god, who he had named himself after. With the gem, he claimed no man could stop him.
It was all Argher needed to know. He snatched the gem and threw it into the shadows. As Saytorr'aK turned, Argher slew him for the second time that evening.
Fearing that Saytorr'aK would somehow come back to life, he drug the cultist warlord from the temple and staked him in the desert. For several days Argher tried to return Saytorr'aK to the Flame, but even in death Saytorr'aK resisted him.
Finally, with his hope breaking, his mother appeared through the dusty winds of the desert and told him that she had broken the chains that Saytorr'aK's god had placed upon him. The earth opened up and swallowed Saytorr'aK whole, never to be seen again.
Gaii told Argher that she was his mother and that he was born to become her Behemoth. That he needed to be ready to stand for man against those who are not man. She told him that he would know them by how they differed from humanity and that she had faith that she had given him the strength to act as both her son and her agent in these matters.
Argher the Behemoth returned to his cave, where he lived for countless more centuries. When word came that strange 'gods' were appearing Argher moved to stand against them. One against hundreds.
Some pantheons he broke, others he destroyed. To this day, many pantheons refuse to speak his name or title out of shame. Some he convinced to leave the Earth, while others were decimated.
One such pantheon he convinced to leave, was a race of aliens who called themselves the Asgardians. It was there that Argher the Behemoth found a new home, battling beside a young Odin against giant and demon. When the dwarves built Odin his spear, they also built it's twin that they named 'Heartseeker' for Argher's deadly aim.
Satisfied that his mother's world was safe and returned back to humanity, Argher once again returned to his cave and waited for the remaining pantheons to retreat. When it was complete, Argher the Behemoth slumbered.
Lately, he has awoken with the rise of mutantkind and superpowered men and women. Confused with how quickly the world had changed in his absence, he feels fortunate to have found a friend in Victor Charming (Cyberlord) to help him intergrate himself into the twenty-first century.
Like Argher, Cyberlord fights to destroy the men and women who are no longer human and the Behemoth stands beside him. Eager to return his mother's world back to the humanity she loves best.
