The Deadly Caretakers
The Powers That Be have a huge problem. One of their deities, Lord Uman, is tasked with solving it, if he wants to continue to exist. He has tried and failed a number of times in the past--the "Kemet Fiasco" being the worst. This would be his last chance. He is working toward crafting a being out of hue-men souls grown in such a way as to be "bendable" into a composite supernatural being. That being should be able to scour the Universe for critical information they seek, even find the edge of the Universe and travel beyond it, if necessary. That is where the information they seek--to solve their problem--can be found.
Lord Uman, and his owners, the beings who create deities--The Builders--shall craft a Star Sail Being. This being is a theoretical living four-dimensional soul comprised of eight hue-men souls, configured as a tesseract. It can break the surface tension of the Universe's 4-brane skin where material reality exists. But before they can create Moselir, they must succeed at Phase 1. The eight souls will first be crafted into four material beings: The Deadly Caretakers. Three of them are chimeric, made from multiple souls. They have their own agendas, including protecting Soryana, their planet's living soul.
...And then there is Grey Wolf. He is a ninth soul that has insinuated himself into the equation. Grey Wolf has been around a very long time, in one incarnation after another. The Deadly Caretakers call him by various names in their lives. He is no less than the friend and honor guard of The One. He is a warrior, and can create "the channel"--a mysterious stitch through which Hevin's Spear can pass. Welcome to the Scout Report Universe. But it has a tiny problem...it's dead...with parasitic "life" growing on the corpse. "The One" is trying to fix that. His best friend is a noble angel, one of the daugs of Hevin. Together with The One's Mother & Father, they're trying to do something unimaginable: resurrect a dead friend.
That noble angel was fractally atomized into numberless instances & injected into the corpse universe. Meanwhile, Lord Uman and The Builders on this planet plan to create their living tesseract, twisted in four dimensions. Phase 1 converts the eight into four chimeric souls: The Deadly Caretakers. Also, Grey Wolf has insinuated himself into Lord Uman's plans.
Their planet's living soul, Soryana, is slowly being consumed by the Powers That Be. She co-opts the Deadly Caretakers to be her defensive spear, but that purpose is at odds with the plans of The Builders. Grey Wolf is a surgical 'needle' in his friend's supernatural hands. In this predatory realm of death, Grey Wolf's nobility manifests as:
