Spider Commander - WIP

- Spider Commander is a mighty predator, member of the Bog Council, event planner and powerful political force within the Darkwood. Described as a 10 foot tall black and red spider with a 19-foot legspan, it was born 5 million years ago on a rogue planet with no sun. The planet, however, had extremely active volcanic activity and a thick atmosphere that trapped large amounts of volcanic heat and gases that gave rise to complex life and strange evolutionary patterns.

During one of the great wars, the Hole King sent his generals to distant planets to gather mercenaries, warriors and slaves to serve in his horde. General Mara Argento visited the planet where he observed Spider Commander personally slaughter 300 lava squids. Subsequent service for the Hole King resulted in Spider Commander’s imprisonment for a thousand star ages. However, early in the sentence, Bruce Vanlouen and his legal team negotiated for its release in order to allow Spider Commander to serve with Bruce in the Second Bog War.

To retrofit Spider Commander for service in a war in the Bog (as it is still partially governed by Earth’s natural laws) Richard Lemming and his bioengineers gave Spider Commander hydraulic lungs that could respirate oxygen and primitive eyes. Today Spider Commander owns a party planning company called Spider and Spawn focusing on quinceañeras and makes $40,000 a year without benefits. He drives a 2001 Dodge Stratus.
