Shadows Trinity

A drawing from a while ago, taken directly from one of my '15 sketchbooks. I've detailed a lot on the texture of this one. Made with China Ink pens.
These are "revitalized" characters I've created 10-11 years ago (when I was 10-11 years old), and in this sense fall under the category of the BYDURAK Series.

Background story:

This is the trinity which completes the Spirit of Darkness,  attributed by the Guate people and several cultures and peoples who came after them to the origins of evil and claimed by the Moche people and the Moche Empire that directly descends from the 2000 years old Moche civilization as their Supreme Leader. Known as "The Moche Spirit", from left to right these three individuals that compose one are:

1. AI APUKON (on the left) : The elemental spirit of Darkness, the most ancient and aetherial aspect of them all. Known to have eight sons - the Ta'tal, he is the creator of the "M'etal", a series of laws and principles of the Moche people turned into a moral doctrine passed forth to the Moche civilization throughout its many generations.
   
2. AI APAEC (on the right): Known as The Decapitator God, supreme deity of the Ancient Moche People, also regarded as a Creator God. Direct descendant of Guerta'Tal (known as the trickster god Tintaeus), one of AI APUKON's sons.
3. TOPA INCA YUPANQUI (in the middle): The materialized form of the Spirit of Darkness, son of Ai Apaec (and thus from the lineage of Guerta'tal). Appears mostly as human, a form which he uses constantly on the political activities of the Moche Empire (which capital is Mochicopia), where he rules with an iron fist. Here, he's presented in his AI form (the AI are reptilian cyborgs developed by Moche enterprises linked to its State: the Spectro Organization, EYE Industries and Fang Co. They are both used as the military police force of Mochicopia and as its soldiers across other countries' borders, constantly on the way to expand the Empire). This is the main rival of Byduchi, the protagonist of the BYDURAK Series, specifically of the "Guate" installments

Topa isn't really separate from Ai Apukon, despite different they're like the same being, it's more like Ai Apukon is a part of his unconscious (which he can communicate with - a mention that matches his incarnation on the CUETZPALIN Mythos, as Tupaq the "Macabraic Spirit of Darkness & Primordial Vovin", for Tupaq is known to have made conscious his own unconscious) and because of that the first part of his name is, indeed, AI APUKON TOPA INCA YUPANQUI. Throughout all of the BYDURAK Series he has counted with the servitude of cyborgs and fatal enemies to pursue Byduchi, as well as Byduchi's friends or allies, like Cross-Pecker, whose goal is to keep the universe's balance and prevent Topa's evil and darkness from controlling time and space itself. Besides the spirit of darkness himself, Topa is a powerful shaman, slaver of spirits and more than once has twisted time and space, merging this dimension with others to materialize his rule. He has also cursed Byduchi's family -namely, his father Ocelotl, who became Ostgard and his Xibalban grandfather, Vellag, who has become "Lord Norver"
