~ K'tesh speaking through its host

----
'''"K'tesh"''' (Blade of deliverance) - A dreaded name amongst Nomad worshipers and servants, known for its tempting and irresistible illusions, but also for torturing its victims to death, without compassion or remorse. It is therefore often associated with "Sirens" of ancient folklore. '''K'tesh''' is one of many mysterious spirits that exist within the Nomad hivemind. It often appears as glowing red being in visions, but requires a caste in form of a [[Nomad Incubus]] as host, in order to be able to manifest itself. 

'''K'tesh's''' tasks are similar to the ones of [[Das Wilde|the wild]]. It is capable of possessing and controlling any [[Nomad Incubus|infiltrator caste]] to accomplish its tasks. However, most of the time, '''K'tesh''' prefers to stay within its own selected main host, which it learned to control perfectly, making it a hard nut to crack when it comes to a fight. 

Since '''K'tesh''' is part of the hivemind and not bound to a physical form, it can not die after its host body passes away. It will continue its hunt as long as the Nomad hivemind exists and as long as it has host bodies it can possess.

==Trivia==
* '''K'tesh's''' current main host is [[Erika Keller]].

* '''K'tesh''' prefers to infest people with authority, but on occasion it also chooses low-ranked soldiers with ties to such people. 

* '''K'tesh's''' methods are similar to the ones of a ''Siren''. It is using human instincts as vulnerable point. By creating tempting and irresistible illusions, it is able to manipulate the minds of those around its host, in order to mislead or control the prey.

* '''K'tesh''' seeks seclusion and tries to avoid public locations whenever possible. It prefers to lure its victims into abandoned places, in order to infest or kill these with utmost efficiency and without disruptions. 

* People who have been exposed to '''K'tesh's''' illusions for too long, can fall into a state of trance. Temporary obedience and the loss of memory is the result. During this state, affected individuals can be forced to murder, even without to be aware of their doings afterwards. 

* '''K'tesh''' enjoys to torture its victims with terrifying illusions.
