Irinus is a mutant, but no standard evolution of man; rather, it is a bio-engineered thing, an organic creation of unrivaled complexity, but most notably, a Lovecraft-style tentacled mass of creature.

Standing at roughly 7'6, and around 130 lbs, Irinus is a somewhat gaunt, slender, and definitely imposing figure. Covered in beastskin hides, the portions of it's body that are able to be seen in the daylight move and undulate of unknown accord, it's skin black yet cracked with veins of greenish, glowing energy. At night, it doffs it's clothing and the reality of it's form can be witnessed by all. Most unsettling, though, is it's eyes; three orbs of void energy, in a triangle formation, suggest a higher intelligence than is portrayed.

It came from somewhere beyond the grasp of the Earth, some prior-world lab held aloft in the dark, empty void of space, held until awakened in a tube of synth and glass and machinery. But before it could really begin to make heads or tails of its new life, it was shunted, ejected on a course for Earth, a ‘falling star’ that would eventually garner more attention than not.

Unfortunately, during the descent, something twisted and warped it’s physiology, so much so that light is deadly to it, and the strange power of the Void at its command.

Irinus is not a traditional mutant in the sense of humanity, but rather, a complex bio-engineered organism, and just as an A.I. relates to machines, this Mutant is engineered to help the flesh and bone inheritors of Earth rediscover their past. It is also asexual, sterile, and ‘designed’ to be put to use, as any machine is. Yet, the longer Irinus is in the company of humankind, the more it seems to evolve, grow, adapt....and become a person, as opposed to a thing.
