Zkauba the Wizard is Yaddithian mystic native to the planet Yaddith in the Demon Realm and has been known in the Lovecraftian story of Through The Gates Of The Silver Key to be a facet of Randolph Carter. However, the events of that moment are slightly different than what was written, which was intentional as Lovecraft wrote it that way to avoid revealing too much that could be dangerous to the human mind. He learns that he is a facet to an agent of The All Mother and a well-renowned Bondlinker titled as the Supreme Archetype, who creates the greatest thinkers of the multiverse. Upon asking about the fate of the Yaddithians due to their battles against the Dholes due to prophetic dreams, he is transferred into Zkauba, and unfortunately unable to return back to his human body. The two are forced to fight for mental dominance and return to Earth to receive the manuscripts they need to regain his original body. They both take the identity of a mysterious figure called Swami Chandraputra, and are forced to reveal his true form when Randolph's cousin Aspinwall accuses him of telling a false tale to steal Randolph's estate, as his true face causes Aspinwall to die of a heart attack. They both vanish and manage to complete the spell, but Zkauba's time with Randolph had changed him. He returned to Yaddith more enlightened but still frightfully disturbed. This sends him on a journey to learn more about the Supreme Archetype, and learns of the Demon Realm having a Bondlink to one of infinite Earths and how a single human can manage to make this Bondlink come true. As such, Zkauba sold a portal to Earth to Eda, giving it a fake name to make it sound common called the MultiVerse-XJ90 Series Realm-Door, when she was young and ran away from her mother centuries ago and after giving her a test drive with it, knowing that it would send Luz to the Demon Realm, and then erased Eda’s memory of him even selling it to her to make sure Emperor Hellion or Emperor Belos wouldn’t find it. He intends to do this as a means to easily bring down the Mischievers by making them see how fruitless their efforts of 'false order' is as well as everything they did, and thus cure all of them of their Mischiever nature.

Abilities[]
Zkauba is of an ancient race of scholarly starfarers called Yaddithians. They are insectoid alien beings with multi-jointed tentacular limbs, opposable clawed hands, bodies coated in scales of rugose coral-like scales useful for high resistance in intense conditions, small trunks for heightened olfactory senses, a very extensive lifespan of thousands of years, and are anaerobic creatures able to live without respiration. The Yaddithians are arcane wizards and scientists with a capacity for knowledge in magic, alchemy, and science. Zkauba is one of the most powerful and intelligent members of his species. He has acute agility and speed, capable of jumping across his attackers in battle, is very dexterous and can keep an accurate cover, and is a very quick learner.
Zkauba’s most noteworthy and feared weapon of choice is the Blade of Nonexistence. It is a longsword forged from accurate metallurgy and alchemy from Pure Core Lovecraftium, the purest form of a metal that is capable of deterring Outer Gods. The Blade of Nonexistence is capable of slicing through existence itself, but its main use is its ability to erase an Outer God from existence while also siphoning its essence.
Appearance[]
Zkauba is an agile Yaddithian who has three pincer fingers, rough rugose greyish skin on multi-jointed tentacular arms, stands on multi-jointed tentacular legs with two toes and two thumbs, a skeletal insectoid head with long seta head hair, a leech-mouthed trunk, and two glowing alien eyes. He wears a purple robe decorated with Elder Signs and glyphs, and wields a Lovecraftium longsword.
