Lord Topa

This is Lord Topa, the incarnation of Darkness, the material part of the Threefold Spirit of Darkness (they're the same person, divided in three. Sort of a "Unholy Trinity") composed by Chicopaec (Dark Spirit), Ai Apukon (Father) and Topa (Son), and the main antagonist of the BYDURAK Series' Kingdom installments. As the Lord of Darkness, he is the ruler of the Moche people from Mochicopia, and as well several other factions in the Eastern European territory of Palarokhiel, what includes other associates as the Maligners, the Hawlien and the Time Crusaders. His main plan is to replace the current space-time continuum, ruled by Tempo (who's regarded by the Vohk Kingdoms as the father to the elemental gods), the brother of Ai Apukon, by a time-space continuum ruled by him. The closest he got was through the creation of an alternate timeline deemed as Forbidden Ages, even though he still competed with another evil-motivated spirit, Lapolo the Lord of Fire, in ruling that dimension -even though he regarded as if he got the upper hand because on the occasion he devised a plan to sabotage Lapolo's supply of new hosts, by forging marriages with inhumans on Lapolo's lineage, spawning sterile hybrids-. On other occasions, he also assaulted the Dragon Kingdom to become the King of the Dragons, but in every occasion his plans have been foiled by the efforts of his main rival, Sir Bill, who has become the King of the Bydurak and Vohk Kingdoms. No matter that he was born in power, with the advantage of possessing knowledge of a thousand worlds and magic skills, he has not been able to outmatch Bill's resolve, what has had him seeking alternate ways of defeating his enemy, by trying to manipulate those around him.

This drawing depicts Topa's original appearance in the series, but he takes other forms as the series progresses. His original weapon is the Scorpion Sword, his shield the Dragah Shield (a subspecies of dragon, more monstrous than most) and his armor the Gargoyle Armor. He also has dragon wings, remnants from his incarnation in the Guate series.

Originally created in 2004, Topa has been the major inspiration for the development of Tupaq, one of the main antagonists from my current project, the CUETZPALIN Mythos.

This is a piece from my sketchbook related to the reinvention of the BYDURAK Series I originally developed during my childhood, between 2001-2007
