Kyuss was a mighty human wizard who bound himself to the Overlord Katashka the Gatekeeper and is now imprisoned after joining with his master. [1] [2]
History
According to legend, Kyuss lived 3,000 years ago. His soul merged with Katashka, who had temporarily escaped his binding by the Silver Flame , and the combined entity briefly became something like a demigod. [1] [2] [3]
The combined entity was called Kyuss-Katashka . Before it could come into its full power, the new entity was imprisoned once more. [1] [2] [3] Legends say that, if he is released again, he will bring forth the final age of the world, known as the Age of Worms . [1] [2] [3]
