Brief history of the chracter pre- and in-game
Powers/Abilities
Arthur Molekevic has the power to animate and control the earth. He can shift earth, hurling or displacing it easily. This is how he made his underground lair. Mostly, however, he uses his powers to create golems.
Creating golems requires energy, but so does maintaining them. Molekevic has discovered that if he infuses his golem with organic matter the golem can essentially break down and “digest” that matter to use as an energy source in much the same way people use food for energy. The more complex the organism he drew the matter from the richer the fuel it provided and the more material he infused the longer the golem would live. The power and lifespan of the golem is therefore directly related to what sort of material it has to use as fuel. At the most a golem can live for two days, assuming it was given an entire human body to use as fuel. Molekevic, however, has never done this. Instead he “refills” the fuel sources when the golem seems to be slowing down or “dying.”
Just as the golems can be infused with organic material for fuel they can also be imbued with mutant powers if their systems are infused with mutant stem cells. The strength of the mutant powers is dependent upon what fuel the golem has to burn but is only about three quarters as strong as the original power. Their control is also rudimentary at best. The process is still being worked out and fine tuned.
Molekevic has built upon his power to animate the earth to the level where he can create golems. However he ran into the problem that he was forced to use his own energy reserves to power the golems until he discovered that by infusing them with organic matter allowed them to use that as energy rather than himself. The more complex the organism he drew the organic matter from the longer and more capable the golem would be. He has also developed a process that allows him to imbue the golems with powers by infusing their systems with mutant stem cells. The process is still very rough, and the golems do not possess the full extent of the original mutant's powers.
A limited number of “commander golems” exist. These golems are infused with Molekevic’s own powers in which turn gives them control over a unit of ten golems which have all been infused with various powers by Molekevic. Only two separate powers can be infused into any one golem. Should the original mutant have both a primary and a secondary mutation then the golem receiving that mutant’s stem cells will not be able to be infused with any further powers.
