The Acolytes are revered as the Dark Gods of the Disciples of Carnage. They are the progenitors of the Disciples' society. They have molded and defined their existence for over five millennia. The Acolytes are the guiding forces in the continuance of the Eternal Doctrine of Carnage. They are the keepers of The Scrolls and the Three Books of Carnage. To the truly devoted Disciples, they grant immortality. Over the ages, the Acolytes have been to various dimensions and have acquired numerous supernatural powers. Along with immortality, the Acolytes also bless the truest Disciples with supernatural powers of their own. Although all of the Acolytes started out as human, some of them no longer resemble humans because of supernatural alterations they have made to themselves. Some information about the Acolytes is presented below.

Ka'Shator is the supreme Acolyte. He was born in what was then known as the Taghaza region of Africa in the year 2286 B.C. He was the heir of the Warrior King, Ka'Raek. When Ka'Shator was 25 years of age, his father was slain in battle. Ka'Shator then became the new Warrior King of the nomadic tribe, the Izkon. As the Izkon migrated north into Eurasia in pursuit of the enemy tribe responsible for Ka'Raek's death, they met a tribe known as the Vorr. The Vorr became well liked by the Izkon. Ka'Shator and the Vorr chieftain decided to unite the two tribes. Ka'Shator then renamed the unified tribe the Izkon Vorr. He then created a ruling council that consisted of himself, his half brother Gor'Nathal, the cheiftan of the Vorr, Ankheg and the lower chieftain of the Vorr, Glabrezu. Shortly after the union of the Izkon and the Vorr, they found the tribe responsible for Ka'Raek's death. This tribe, the Luar, was slaughtered by the Izkon Vorr. While holding the head of the man that had killed his father, Ka'Shator had a great revelation. He realized that the key to a better existence is dominance, and that the best way to gain dominance is through carnage. This was the genesis of great things to come (See History). The Izkon Vorr is still in existence today and is the oldest and most respected sect of the Disciples of Carnage. Ka'Shator has always been a master of planning, organization and recognizing abilities in people and then utilizing them in positions where they could contribute the most. Ka'Shator is now over five thousand years old, and he remains the ultimate guiding force in the continuance of the Eternal Doctrine of Carnage. He has three wives: Novinia, Althea, and Sidra. But his mistresses are too numerous to count. Ka'Shator has hundreds of descendants in multiple dimensions.

Personal Quotes: Carnage Always Prevails

In Carnage We Trust

Gor'NaThal is the half-brother of Ka'Shator. Ka'Raek was their father, but they had different mothers. Gor'NaThal is only three years younger than Ka'Shator. At an early age, Gor'NaThal became interested in weapons. They became his obsession. At the age of 18, he had already became the chief weapons maker for the Izkon tribe. When the Izkon merged with the Vorr, he became the Master Weapons Smith. His many innovations in design and metallurgy helped lead the Izkon Vorr to many victories. He can work wonders with just a minimal amount of resources. In the Toran Incident, it was his photographic memory that allowed him to retain much of the science behind Toran technology (See History) for later development. Today weapons are still his obsession; his love affair with weapons is indescribable. He still remains the guiding force in the Disciples weapons innovations and assimilation. Gor'NaThal has four wives: Tya, Avala, Shiva, and Urcella. Gor'NaThal also has many descendants, most reside in the Protos dimension.

Personal Quote: Maximum Carnage Means Victory

Ankheg was born in the Chalok region of southwest Eurasia in the year 2282 B.C. His father, Jagakheg, and mother, Nika, were poisoned by his uncle, Murkheg. Ankheg, too, had been poisoned by his uncle. Murkheg gave them all fake snake bites and told the rest of the tribe a snake must have bitten them all in their sleep. His deception worked, and he became the new chieftain of the Vorr tribe. Though buried, Ankheg was not dead. Days later he regained consciousness and broke free of his grave. As he walked backed to the village, he was haunted by visions of his uncle forcing poison into his veins. All eyes were upon him as he entered the village. He went to the chieftains quarters and drug his uncle into the middle of the village, where he proceeded to beat him to death. After getting vengeance on his uncle, Ankheg became the chieftain of the Vorr-he was only 16. Being chieftain at such a young age, Ankheg was weary of those that might seek to take advantage of his youth and do-away with him to gain control of the tribe. Though he had gained much respect by surviving his uncle's poison and killing him, he never stopped developing his fighting skills. By age 18, he was an accomplished warrior and tactician and noone in the Vorr dared oppose him. After two years of being chieftain, Ankheg realized that it was a big responsibility, and that it would be better served by at least two persons. It was at this time he appointed his best friend, Glabrezu, as lower chieftain of the Vorr. Ankheg was 26 years old when he met Ka'Shator and the Izkon. The two saw eye to eye on many things, they recognized that a union of the two tribes would be mutually beneficial. Ankheg became responsible for teaching his excellent battle tactics to the entire unified tribe. Ankheg's tactics have always concentrated on both sophistication and ruthlessness. Today, he is still the guiding force behind all the tacticians of the Disciples. Ankheg has never married, he prefers to be an eternal bachelor. Although he never married, he has fathered many children.

Personal Quote: Put your faith in Carnage, it will deliver you to victory

Glabrezu and Ankheg grew up as best friends, and remain that way today. When it came to detecting the approach of enemies, Glabrezu had a sixth sense. Because of this special ability, he was made the chief sentinel for the Vorr. He helped others develop their senses for enemy detection as well. At age 17, his role in the Vorr was increased as Ankheg appointed him Lower Chieftain of the entire Vorr tribe. After the Izkon and the Vorr united, Ka'Shator expanded Glabrezu's role to include the training of scouts and spies. Glabrezu came to recognize that information is power. He created a complex and extensive network of scouts and spies that kept the Izkon Vorr apprised of the movements of everything within a 100 mile radius. Ka'Shator would order no invasion of anyone until a course of action had been reconciled with information provided by Glabrezu. It was his scouts that located the tribe, the Luar, that were responsible for killing Ka'Raek. Over the ages, Glabrezu has developed more and more sophisticated methods of intelligence gathering. He remains the guiding force behind the Disciples' intelligence community. Glabrezu has only two wives: Gina, and Corrine. Several of Glabrezu's descendants were abducted and killed by the alien race, the Arilou. Even though they all were regenerated in the plane of Zhon, this act by the aliens warranted a Wrath of Carnage. (See History)

Personal Quote: Carnage is a double-edged sword, with death as one edge, and information as the other.

Savir was not considered an Acolyte in the earliest stages. But he has since reached Acolyte status due to his outstanding work and devotion to Carnage. Savir was born in the twilight hours on the coast of the Black Sea. His parents then threw him into the sea as a sacrifice to the sea gods. But the tides kept washing him ashore. Each time this happened, they would throw him back. An elderly man closeby witnessed this spectacle and decided to act. He rescued Savir, killed both parents and threw their bodies into the sea. Their bodies did not wash ashore. This man was named Dojifir. He gave Savir his name and raised him as his own son. Dojifir taught Savir many things, including sorcery. But Dojifir died before completing Savir's training. Savir traveled far and wide in search of those that could teach him more sorcery. In the Aquitane region of Eurasia, he met Nessre. Nessre was a very skilled sortileger, especially in the dark magic. It was Nessre who completed Savir's training. Both Nessre and Savir were indoctrinated by the Acolytes as a part of Ka'Shator's efforts to explore the possibilities of using black magic. Savir became the leader of the Circle of Sorcerers after Nessre was killed in an attack. Ka'Shator pushed Savir's powers to the limit, as a result, Savir developed skills he never imagined. Then one night, Ka'Shator and Ankheg came to him with their most demanding request ever. They wanted Savir to unlock the secrets of immortality. Savir directed the efforts of the Circle of Sorcerers in this regard for ten years. Then finally, Savir opened a portal which he believed would give the answers for immortality. He and the other Acolytes entered the portal. Along with many other revelations, they did unlock the secrets to immortality. (See History) Through the efforts of Savir, the Acolytes have become masters of inter-dimensional travel. Savir remains the guiding force behind the Disciples' Circle of Sorcerers. He continues to find ways to manipulate things and events that mortals couldn't possibly comprehend. Of all the Acolytes, Savir has the most wives: Evetra, Angela, Norisse, Jasmine, Kishara, and Helena.
