Cackler

The Great Cackler by Stone Gargoyle

Many varied legends and myths surround the Great Cackler. In oldest times, it is said, the Great Cackler was created by the machine intelligence of Kh'ron to be its envoy to the world of the gods. Whether this has any truth to it is unknown. Some speculate, rather, that Cackler was the brother of Ra who was reassembled in the realm of Kh'ron. Some of the most compelling stories credit Cackler with the creation of the universe.
"...And then the elemental machines of Kh'ron were unleashed from the Cosmic Egg, put in place by the Cackler. These Placekeepers tore the previous worlds asunder and rebuilt them in a new order. But control was lost of these new creations, leading to an age of chaos..."

Favorite Weapons: Cackler seldom uses any weapons other than his fabulous rune blade.

Fabulous Feather Blade: A greatest rune weapon in the shape of a large dark feather-shaped sword, with the head of a raven on the sword butt. Always in telepathic communication with Cackler, it is a symbol of graceful power. Sentient, it has an I.Q.of 16 and Scrupulous alignment, so if any creatures of evil or anarchist alignment touch it, they will receive 1d6X10 damage.
