Warlock (Technarch)

The alien being called Warlock came from a Kvch in an unspecified location in outer space. Warlock's race was a sentient form of "techno-organic" life known as the Technarchy, which resembled circuitry and machinery in various ways. Members of this race gave birth to great numbers of offspring, who resided in a "creche," although the process of birth may have been very different for this race than it was for life forms native to Earth. Children of this race proved their right to exist by battling their parents to the death; either the child killed the parent, or the parent slew the child.

Warlock was the son of the Magus, the ruler of his native world and apparently its most powerful being. Warlock recognized his mutation when he realized that he did not care to slay his father. This change in idealism marked Warlock as a mutant in his race. Fearful of being killed in combat by the Magus, Warlock fled his native planet, but was pursued through outer space by the Magus himself.
