Klbkchhezeim, mostly known as Klbkch, is the Prognugator and Revalantor of the Antinium hive that resides in Liscor.
Appearance
Preregenration (Worker Form)
He looked like all the other Worker Antiniums, with antennae, large black bulbous eyes, a dark brown chitinous body, four arms and two long pincers coming out of its mouth. He has a pair of swords at its sides.[1]
Postregeneration
After his rebirth, he has a more humanoid form, with only two arms and has a slim graceful body, not like a Worker’s or a Soldier’s.[2]
Personality
Klbkch is a pragmatic and stern individual, placing the hive's well being above everyone else's—including his own and the [Queen]. While acting as a [Guardsman], he is a charismatic and kind leader. He is polite to everyone around him, leading him to be well liked by the city enough—so that he was voted in to become a Senior Guardsman—a heavy feat.
Inside the Hive, Klb is a focused and strict man. Despite his seemingly cold exterior, he protects his hive, along with the citizens of Liscor, with pride. He is calculating in his actions, and is willing to cut any loose ends if it means getting his goals accomplished. On the flip side, his sense of duty and steadfast nature can act against him, causing him to either be cruel in demeanor. He also considers himself to be a cog in the machine, which lead to one of his many deaths.
Background
10 years ago, Klbkch and his Hive came to Liscor,[3] hoping to find there a way to create Individuals and by extension stronger Antinium, who might allow them to defeat their ancient enemy that forced them to flee from their home in Rhir.
At one point he started to work for the City Watch as a [Guardsman], intending to improve the image of the Antinium in the city. Despite the bad reputation the Antinium usually have, he became a very respective member of the community. That is shown by him having managed to become a Senior Guardsmen[4], which means that at least 400 people had to have voted for him.

Trivia
- His full name was revealed in Chapter 1.24.
- Once in the past, when he hadn't even been a Prognugator and still a pure warrior, he was a Level 44 [Swordslayer] and a Level 26 [Assassin]. He hadn’t had any levels in either [Commander] or [Diplomat].[7]
- The loss in levels of [Swordslayer] and [Assassin], are the result of numerous deaths and revivals.
- He was named 'Klbkch the Slayer', thanks to the skill [Continuous Cut], which he got at Level 40. With it he was able to strike down enemies with such speed that he could eradicate entire battalions by himself over the course of a battle.[6]
- According to Tersk's queen, Klbkch is the most stable and trustworthy of the three remaining Centenium.[8]
- Unlike Xrn, Klb experienced many deaths; during the First and Second Antinium Wars—and even before that.[9]
- Zel killed 2 people Klbkch called friends during the Antinium Wars. None were able to rise again with the help of the Rite, implying that they had less than 10 levels at that time.[10]
- Klbkch fought longer for the Antinium than the Queen of the Flying Antinium had lived.[11]

- (To Ryoka) "The Antinium Wars? What Drakes and Humans and Gnolls fear so? They were setbacks. Dust. The true disaster occurred on the oceans when we lost our entire people. Even now, we are a fraction of what we were.”
