Suddenly the Doctor springs back to his old self and runs out. Lynk takes them all to the [[Renath Archive]], an old library in the heart of Cornucopia, where they meet Albert, a blind alien and [[Matildus Galathea]], the librarian. The Doctor shows her the symbol on Keli's hand. She takes several guesses at what it is before coming to a stern conclusion. It is the mark of [[Azrael]]... | Suddenly the Doctor springs back to his old self and runs out.

"He was the first [[Necrotist]], a man who inspired a black stream of madness that flows through the universe to this day. A Necrotist is an artist who believes that murder is the only true form of creativity: that life must be stolen in order for art to blossom. Where a Necrotist walks, tragedy follows. Azrael was a genius who came from a world where death had been conquered, where immortality was fact. His brilliance turned his people's science against him. They perished in a flood of measureless agony. It was his first "statement". Many more soon followed. Some said his face was so terrible that to merely look upon it would summon death. Others claimed it was so beautiful it would drive the beholder mad. Whatever the truth, Azrael chose to wear a mask carved from the skull of the last [[Magellan]] Emperor. His supposed masterpiece was the [[Wasting Wall]], a structure built out of the bodies of an entire species- a monument to genocide. If it ever truly existed it has been lost to myth. But history records in harrowing detail a slaughter that spanned three centuries and countless worlds. Azrael lived and died ten thousand years ago. When he was finally captured, he stood calmly upon his execution block and spoke four words, "Death is my ally." He was the Sculptor of Grief. The Poet of Corruption. The Architect of Despair." | "He was the first [[Necrotist]], a man who inspired a black stream of madness that flows through the universe to this day.
