Damyen was Kalla's half-brother, Ex. He and his brother Collus were the legitimate offspring of the head of Clan Hrykos and his wife. Kalla was conceived by Damyen and Collus' father and a peasant woman. She was not recognized as a legitimate heir because of this, and even was disallowed from using her father's name. Hence, in her earliest appearances she was known as Kalla Hryl.
Damyen married Lardy's arch-enemy Mordra, and Mordra tricked Lardy into sleeping with her. A spell she used caused his powers to transfer to her thru the sexual act. She also became pregnant (as planned) since Damyen was unable to conceive. Mordra then transferred Lardy's powers to Damyen. Later, Lardy tracked down and killed both of them.
When Damyen died, Collus inherited leadership of Clan Hrykos and sought revenge for his brother's death by spearheading the "Invasion!" of Legion World. After the invasion failed, the other Dark Oval powers disapproved of Collus' failure and their inability to control him and eventually supported Kalla taking his place. She murdered Collus herself and used her father's will to legally take her brother's place.
Hope that helps! Damyen appeared in my Onevision "Turning Point". Kalla first appeared during the collaborative novella "Omnia...", and her ascension was detailed in some key scenes in my Onevision "Smoke and Mirrors" (all easily searchable right here in Bits!).
Can't wait to see whatcha got in mind!

Hey... quick question for Cobie/Lardy/whoever...
Are there any good "intrepid reporter" types in the LMB mythos that I could use as minor supporting character? It's nothing that would change their status quo, I just need a foil in my story to pester the Security Office for details about the case.
I came across Clark Marlowe (whose name I, of course, love) in the 80-page giant... but I wasn't sure whether he was already involved in any Lord of the Oval plotlines.

(1) The first great 'intrepid reporter' in the LMB mythos was Giant Squid, an alt ID on Legion World. He was killed by the Royal Inquisitor during the Dark Stu Saga, and thus became a bit of a legendary character on Legion World. (Actually had the entire user ID wiped away--a process so time-consuming, Nightcrawler vowed never to do it again!). Therefore, the Alt ID Center is named the "Giant Squid Memorial Alt ID Cultural Center" in his honor. His murder came about because he refused to give in to the demands of Dark Stu and stop broadcasting, even refusing Vee's offer to use the Villa as a safe haven because he would not leave his position outside Stu's Mansion.
(2) I'll let Lardy give the overview of Clark Marlowe, whose become a more rounded out character in LMB lore. Clark was a star in the Lord of the Oval story...and if you haven't read it, I'm not sure I want to spoil what's happened with him. Let's just say its status-altering and you need to know about it before even referencing him.
(3) I think there has been occassional references to a Marella Tao in the LMB mythos, though she's never actually appeared on-screen.
So you may need to create a new character, or use Marella...

Clark is a character who I created and who I dearly love, but surely you know that phrase about what you sometimes have to do with your darlings...
Clark's story began in Omnia, then his background/origin was clarified in the 80PG story you mentioned. Afterwards, he played a significant role in "The Covenant" which lead to a pivotal moment for him during the Earth-4 sequences in Book 2 of "Lord of the Oval"---a life-altering moment, if you catch my drift.
Howevs, reading your post makes me realize just this very moment that Clark may just have a younger brother named Phil who is a cub reporter trying to break out of his Galactic Pulitzer-winning brother's shadow. Phil, however, wouldn't know of his brother's fate and hasn't seen him in nearly two years.
Work your magic if you'd like to flesh Phil out for me. You have my blessing!

I think Phil should have had a previous career as an amateur space-boxer!

Although, I'm trying to brainstorm obvious "reflecto" derivative names ... but with little success.

I dont think we've ever had one before, actually. Glad to see it'll be rectified!

Mirror Mistress would be a cool name if you want the character to be female.

So, Ex...is Phil Marlowe gonna make it into "Klordny"?

In the very next chapter, actually.
This story has turned out way longer than I anticipated, but I think the plot sort of demands it.
They don't call it the "long" Klordny for nothing.

And Mirror Mistress (if that's the name she will choose) has joined the Dark Oval story! Whoo! This is awesome. We really do need more females, as the list of female LMBers is really short. That's one reason I brought back Spelling Bee and Sara (as Danger Damsel II), plus added Kinetix and Kairos (an LMB version of Kid Quantum II) into the mix.
PS, Ex, haven't read much of your Long Klordny story but it looks really good so far!
