Biography
Past
As revealed in The Vanquishers, the Grand Serpent came from a binary deni-species, a symbotic species divided into a humanoid and serpent form, and the more intelligent humanoid form was able to control the deadly serpent. The Grand Serpent went into politics, and at one point ruled a vast empire, which presumably when he dubbed himself by his title. He was critised by Frey Sampor, whom he was determind to get back at.
Once, Upon Time
As recalled by his body guard, Inston-Vee Vinder, the Grand Serpent met a species called the Alforia to discuss terms to shelter them, in return for them providing "food and safety" for generations. After Vinder spoke out of line, he dressed him down and ordered him to be silent from thereonin. Once the official meeting was concluded, he ordered Vinder to cease recording and then demanded the Alforia hand over five dissidents being sheltered in their territory to face trial, and for another four, all relatives of his critic Frey Sampor, to suffer a fatal accident. Vinder reported the incident, resulting in him being reassigned to Observation Outpost Rose.
At some point, as revealed in The Vanquishers, dispite his attempts to silence his critics, the Grand Serpent was eventually overthrown and was exiled from his empire.
