Heth

The Heth were a sapient mammalian species, native to the Otherspace galaxy as a vassal species of the military forces of the Charon Dominion. Violent, barbarous and cannibalistic, the Heth were one of the first species encountered by, and incorporated into, the Charon Dominion. Although quickly acclimating to the worship of the Void, very few Heth in Charon history were both tethered to the Void. Peculiarly, those that were inherited a phenomenal affinity; Mercius Nothian, a Heth of the Savant Caste, even inherited the position of Harbinger, marking him as the most powerful Voidborn alive of his respective generation.

Remarkably built, Heth had the capacity for great physical strength and resilience to injury of many sorts, were considered very difficult to kill—even by their own standards—and were exceptionally long-lived, with the elders of their species able to reach ages of over half a millennium. Although not the victors of the Ascent conflict, the Heth lost the fewest of their species in the war. While the Vrathites took their place as the Dominion's dominant military backbone, the Heth were considered to have been the Dominion's shock troops and elite forces.
