Herex

Herex, also known as The Whispering Venom, is the potential true main antagonist of the Multiplayer Three Rings game, Spiral Knights.

Once a member of the Crimson Order who served the (presumably evil) Gremlin King, Tinkinzar, he saw that the King and his Order were blind to the truh, and swore to rule the mechanical planet Cradle all for himself by tapping into the power of the Swarm and using it as his ultimate weapon.

He had Schemer Razwog obtain the Artifact needed to open the Core, at which he would promptly use the Swarm to take over the Core, and thus all of Cradle. The Spiral Knights beat and presumably killed Razwog, taking the artifact.

He is the most recurring enemy of the Spiral Knights, and is the most cunning and dangerous Gremlin of all. He stole the Artifact himself and used it to open the Core. He then battled the Spiral Knights in the Throne Room of Firestorm Citadel but escaped into the Core, claiming that the power of the Core and the Swarm would all be his, and he would make the Spiral Knights the first victims.
