Epizon

"I have lived ten thousand of your lifetimes before the first of your kind crawled from the primordial muck, Human, and I will endure long after your species falls to ashes."

- Epizon relaying his age to Xaga Terron

Epizon was the pseudonym of the Kathol consciousness that had become bound to an ancient device known as the Infinity Tome. Once an extremely prestigious member of his people, Epizon was tethered to the duties of a Soulkeeper, a position among the Kathol that denoted a member of their people that housed a fragment of their civilization's collective knowledge, memories and secrets.

Epizon was unique in multiple ways, even amongst the other Soulkeepers, in that not only did he possess the entire sum wealth of information accumulated by his people, but his very consciousness was displaced from his body and bound to a hybridized bionic and synthetic Force-imbued device.

This device, the Infinity Tome, entombed his essence in a plane of existence between the physical universe and the realms of the Netherworld of the Force. After the Tome's rediscovery roughly a decade prior to the Otherspace Incursion by the Charon Dominion, the priestess Savelle Ulesari assigned a secondary alias to Epizon, The Last Heir of Kathol.

Origins
Bearing an alias of unknown meaning, Epizon's true name was unknown, as was his actual age. According to his initial conversation with the Logos assassin of the Brotherhood of Sicarius, Xaga Terron, Epizon had allegedly lived approximately one hundred millennia before the evolution of the Human species on Norton, thereby making him over one million years older than the Human species.

The Infinity Tome
At some point later in his life, Epizon was chosen to become a Soulkeeper, a telepathic chronicler of his people's sum of knowledge and information. Eventually, Epizon was elected to serve in an additional capacity as a Soulkeeper by having his consciousness ripped from his body and bound to a Force resonant object, known as the Infinity Tome.

According to Epizon, the ritual that tethered his essence to the Tome was brief, but painful, and saw the expiration of his physical body. The Force ritual made Epizon immortal, so long as the Tome remained intact, and forever entrapped him in a realm in-between the physical universe and of the Force, known as the Spirit Plane. Epizon served the Kathol as the foremost Soulkeeper until the mysterious extinction of his species left the Infinity Tome dormant for over one hundred thousand years.

Reemergence
The Infinity Tome housing Epizon's consciousness was activated again by the Logos priestess, Savelle Ulesari roughly ten years before the outbreak of the Extant War with the Charon. During that time, Epizon allowed access of some portions of the ancient Kathol's knowledge to Ulesari, granting her an understanding of her people's social heritage prior to their entrapment in Otherspace.

Ulesari's recovery of the Infinity Tome ultimately preserved Epizon alive, as the entire planet of Kathol was annihilated when the Charon Dominion created the Aperture as a bridge between the two galaxies.

Behind the scenes
The word Epizon came from the Greek word επιζών (epizó̱n) which translated to "survivor", relating to the condition of Epizon being the last "survivor", in a sense, of his species.
