Massif's origin is a tale of tragedy and resilience. Unlike most Lepusians, he didn't grow up on his home planet but rather on the desolate mining colonies scattered across Durvok-controlled sectors. Life there was brutal, and Massif, like the others born in the oppressive darkness of those mines, developed a unique genetic trait – blindness. The Durvok went even further, surgically removing the ears of their Lepusian captives, leaving them deaf. It was a grim existence. However, Massif's life took a remarkable turn when he was discovered by Loralaia and Gert, two survivors of the Lepusian uprising. He was one of the few remaining Lepusians in that mining colony. As the news of the Lepusian rebellion spread, the Durvok-controlled mining colonies reacted ruthlessly, opting to exterminate the Lepusians under their control.
Massif was caught in this wave of violence, but he didn't go down without a fight. In a desperate bid to protect his fellow Lepusians, he unleashed a relentless assault on the Durvokian oppressors. Massif's discovery by Lepus and Gert was a beacon of hope in the darkness of his existence. Knowing he wasn't the last surviving Lepusian brought a glimmer of joy to his heart. As they shared their plans for rebellion and freedom, Massif made a resolute choice to stand alongside them in their quest. He might come across as a mild-mannered and even timid individual, but a dormant strength lies within him. It's when those he cares about are threatened or in harm's way that a fierce, unrelenting beast awakens within.
The depths of his soul harbor a protector who will stop at nothing to shield his loved ones from harm. This transformation from a gentle soul to an indomitable force adds a layer of complexity to his character, making him even more intriguing. Massif's journey is a testament to the power of resilience, the strength hidden within the seemingly vulnerable, and the unwavering determination to fight for a better future. Explore his remarkable tale in our comic, where you'll witness the incredible transformation of a quiet soul into a formidable defender when the need arises.
