History
Dr. Clades Avium, Ph.D., was a scientist working on Project Aswan until he was attacked and almost killed by a lower-ranking employee working on the rival project, which involved organic material left by Deleo to assist in her bid for power. The rival doctor proceeded to use Clades' near-lifeless body to prove that the material being studied in his project was just as worthy of attention as Project Aswan; the infusion of Deleo's material into his system resulted in Clades becoming the first Destroyer, allied to Deleo by force.

As the first of his kind, Clades was extremely unstable and had to be placed in stasis by the scientists working on Deleo's project to avoid suffering personal harm. Due to the loss of the majority of their material, the group was transferred to Project Aswan to create Lignum Saga.

Upon Lignum's awakening as the first Thaumaturge, Deleo woke Clades, stabilizing his system with an energy infusion and charging him with the task of eliminating her sister's new toy. On the way he located Imber Coelum, the man he'd loved prior to his untimely "death," and Bellum Inrito, Lignum's Champion. Under orders from his goddess, Clades offered Bellum the chance to become a Destroyer and live long enough to make up for his mistakes, which Bellum accepted.

After the death of the first Thaumaturge, Clades married Imber and stayed with him until he eventually passed away--as a Destroyer, Clades had been rendered immortal and ageless, and thus didn't have the ability to follow his husband.

After this, Clades took on the task of monitoring things with the company that made him what he was and awaiting the possible awakening of another Thaumaturge. He assisted in the elimination of several rogue Thaumaturges and served as mentor to many more throughout the ages.

Long after the Cataclysm, Clades was eventually brought in by a team of scientists from Efennerad and studied in the mobile research base run by Professor Andris Rigo. He was saved by Bellum Inrito, to whom he still owes a favor. After this run-in with modern society, Clades took to secluding himself from the rest of the world and awaiting his final duty to Deleo.
