The Council (Emblem)

The Council, or as it was formerly called the Emblem, is the group of seven Arkenians that usually handle the official problems on Karumiyra and with it's allies. It was founded by Helios himself as the Emblem before he disappeared. They are considered the most powerful of all their people and are looked up to. They control the many soldiers stationed around the planet and take up the mantle as rulers due to Helios' supposed appearance. Marcus and Angel Lightburn were part of the Council as well and were the most powerful and skilled of the seven. It was later that their leader, Gelberus, decided to convince the other members to attempt to take a dictatorship over the planet, but gain absolute power over the galaxy. All agreed except for Marcus and Angel, who rebelled against his ideals and quit. The people also refused the council's rule. Then, the Arkenian Downfall occurred and many of the Arkenians fled to other worlds while some were imprisoned. Over the years they had gained a controlling grasp on a number of planets by threats or force. Every member of the council was killed by Kainine and company and, during the second saga, they combined into Legion, but were defeated yet again. The Council is currently renamed as the Emblem and is led by Clay Allsyne.
