Real Name: S'ym
Occupation: Ruler of Limbo, would be conqueror of Earth
Legal Status: Inappropriate
Identity: S'ym's existence is not known to the general populace of Earth
Place of Birth: Unrevealed, presumably somewhere within Limbo
Marital Status: Single
Known Relatives: None
Base of Operations: Limbo
Past Group Affiliations: Former servant of Magik, leader of the demons of Limbo
Known Powers:
Shape-changing: Infection from Magus' techno-organic virus has given S'ym similar powers. He can alter his shape into any form he desires. His height has varied between 6 and 100 feet. He can extend any portion of his body, including optical sensors, up to 10 areas away from his main trunk. He can modify his Amazing material strength body to form any object he can conceive of with Excellent ability. Portions of his body may be destroyed or shredded, but as long as even one piece remains he can recreate himself. He can regenerate damage to himself with Unearthly ability.
Techno-organic Infection: Like Magus, S'ym can absorb energy from others by touching them (a normal Fighting roll). Anyone he touches is also infected with the techno-organic virus. S'ym can then immediately drain them, adding their Health to his (up to his maximum Health). S'ym must normally make a Psyche FEAT roll against his opponent's Psyche to drain energy, and so can be resisted. If he fails in his attempt, the person he touched gains the same powers that he has.
He can also put them under his mental domination. He never allows them
to change shape, but they gain Incredible armor and can infect others with the
techno-organic virus. They also retain all of their original abilities and
powers, although all Karma is lost. S'ym can maintain any number of
creatures under his mental control, regardless of range or separating
dimensions.
Body Armor: S'ym's transformed body provides him with Incredible
protection against all forms of attack.
Demon Servants: With Magik's departure, S'ym rules Limbo and
the demon residents therein. An "average" demon has the following

Original Form: Before his transformation, S'ym had Remarkable strength claws, Amazing body armor against physical and energy attacks, and Good body armor against magical attacks.
Teleportation: S'ym can teleport with Unearthly ability through the use of magic.
Talents:
S'ym is considered to have the equivalent of the Psychiatry skill because of his wide experience in torture and temptation. He presumably speaks all known Earth languages.
Contacts:
S'ym was the former servant of Magik. He usurped her position as ruler of Limbo and now controls all of the beings therein.
Role-Playing Notes:
S'ym is a ruthless being who will do anything necessary to obtain absolute power. If overpowered he will beg and whine. If in control he will gloat endlessly of his triumph. He enjoys physical conflict, particularly when he is involved himself, perhaps too much for his own good. He can often be lured into combat when it would be wiser for him not to.
History:
S'ym's background prior to Illyana Rasputin's entry into Limbo is not known. At this time he was Belasco's major servant within the realm of Limbo. Belasco often allowed S'ym to do his "dirty work." S'ym was not particularly fond of taking orders, but played along, seeing a possibility for ultimate power.
When Belasco was defeated by Illyana, S'ym remained with him, and later traveled to Earth to bring Magik (as Illyana was now called) back to her master. He was defeated by the New Mutants and swore loyalty to Magik.
S'ym obeyed his new mistress' commands, but always awaited a chance to overthrow her. The opportunity came when the being known as Magus pursued the New Mutants through Limbo. S'ym was infected with Magus' techno-organic virus, and Magus had no time to drain his energies before leaving Limbo in pursuit of his son. With his powers vastly augmented, S'ym infected Limbo and all of its creatures with the techno-virus. S'ym was now the creature with the strongest willpower in that realm, and with Magik unable to reenter it for any length of time for fear of being infected, he soon ruled supreme.
This was not enough for S'ym, however, and he planned to gain control of Magik, sending his minions into the Marvel-Earth dimension to rule supreme over all. This brought him into conflict with N'astirh, another demon who sought to use children of power to form a gateway so that his forces could rule. S'ym and N'astirh fought on several occasions until N'astirh allowed himself to be infected with the techno-virus. This strategy gave N'astirh access to technology created by the mutant Taki which he had previously been unable to use because of his demonic nature. Taki used his control over machinery to defeat N'astirh.
S'ym was left alone to complete his conquest, but his former mistress Magik sacrificed all of her power to reconfigure Limbo as if she had never been there. This action removed S'ym and all of his followers from Earth. His current whereabouts and plans are unrevealed.
