Deviant woman from the planet Tebbel. Nirvana was the daughter of Khult, and like him, was an astronomer. Due to experiments

and he found that his "black legacy" could not harm her, he took her as his wife, and began conquering planets for her love.
Nirvana bore him four children, one on the eve of each conquest. The first three, which included Pelops and Id, were genetically
perfect, but the fourth, Lucian, was born with a birthmark. Fearful of giving birth to more monsters, Nirvana took her life.
However, Tantalus refused to let her die, and encased her within a field of his Black Legacy upon a balcony of the Tower of
Tartarus on Armechadon. Suitors wishing to free her from the black legacy began to spread up, leading to the resistance movement
headed by various Deviant men all named "Blackwulf". Even on Earth, where Tantalus had been exiled, each of his sons took up
