Armba Alomba

Rise to power

Armba Alomba's rise to the status of Elemenstrix was quick and brutal. She mastered Thunder and Air energies at the age of ten, and she quickly became a Dark Elemenstor. She retreated into Ap'str'ph' Mountains, where she has built her own domain. Armba's vanity and beauty soon became legendary. She established her own, strictly female, band of mercenaries and soldieresses-of-fortune, who later became her Dark Whiffle Vampyres, captured some Tribbit slaves and ordered them to build a mansion in the Ap'str'ph' Mountains, where she perpetrated acts of bestiality. Her depravities continued, until she was captured by Halmarg the Misogynistic, knight of the Magic Sword Kings, and together with her soldiers imprisoned in The Clockwork Fortress.

Incarceration

While in the slammer, Armba grew more and more insane. She finally imagined her own Furniliar friend, whom she called Scuzzy, and who strangely enough was not a piece of Furniture but a hand cat puppet. Scuzzy many times spurred her to break free, but the enchanted defenses of the prison were too hard to break for even the most powerful Elemanifestations.

Unlight War

Vhadxi has heard of Alomba's murders, and has suspected that she may be the reincarnation of Adhnaten, so naturally she was one of the first prisoners recruited to his Twelve Twisted Evil, and his mistress (though for a very short time, as the cat annoyed him in bed). She was not Adhnaten, however.

One of the only vampyres of the twelve brought over by Vhadxi himself (most others were made into vampyres by Mo-pi), Alomba's transformation was often described by Vampyrologists as the weirdest Dark Kiss ever. Perhaps that was because Vhadxi thought she was his wife or heiress? The fact is, that the transformation took seven days during which Alomba performed strange rituals, often in the nude (though she always wore Scuzzy). Alomba awoke (?) or was awaken by her puppet, and her appearance changed. She was not only rejuvenated, but also her hair turned white, and Scuzzy had now flaming red eyes.

She was quick to return to free her former band and transform them into vampyres, who became her own personal army of Dark Whiffle Vampyres. Using Dark Air Elemenstation, she taught them to fly and use air spells, which helped her in defeating Dim Elves and their Falconriders. During that battle she disagreed with the Scuzzy for the first time, but the Whiffles would rather listen to the puppet, and have thus earned victory.

She was recalled from torturing Dim Elf prisoners to attack High-Elves. Well, actually she just went along with the Scuzzy. Anyway, the attack resulted in burning High Elves Crop, which moved her troops to rather peculiar condition. They started to listen to strange music, use words like like "peace" and "love," which is rather hard to do when you are Undead. Enraged, Alomba slew most of her army, and hunted lone High-Elves by herself, earning the name of Elf Witch Hunter. She came very close several times to killing H'wel Hazeweed-In-My-Pockets who always managed a last minute escape, despite the loss of his honor guard.

She was later summoned by Vhadxi to join him in the defense of The Clockwork Fortress. She was the one that wanted the Wand of Unlight for herself, and Mo-pi wanted to kill her for that (actually the cat annoyed him, but the wand was the other reason). In the midst of Most Epic and Climactic Battle of the War of Unlight, she managed to lay her hands (well, hand and cat) on the Wand of Unlight. With that she fled the battlefield, being the only one member of the Twelve Twisted Evil (save from Peter) that survived the War.

Old face, new plans

Alomba retreated to her mansion and studied the properties of the Wand. She aspired to become the first Vampire Empress, though the speeches of Scuzzy were much longer and impressive. She lost it, when the ShadeGhost of Halmarg the Misogynistic attacked her again. The wand was later destroyed by Kracky Markmer.

Alomba needed time to regain her power. She was laying dormant for 200 years, after which she returned, but her appearance was restored to her previous state, before the change.* She gathered four of her former lieutenants (those with the smallest brain damage), and established Alombadorium, in which she started creating PuppetSpawns. With the help of the PuppetSpawns, and Evil Vampyre Bymbos, she managed to conquer large part of the Shield. In the Epic Battle of the PuppetSpawns, Scuzzy was destroyed, and seeing that, Alomba died from shock.

* Her looks changed in the descriptions and art. In the Unlight War, she was described as white haired, with the body of twenty year old, but before and after the war she was 'ravenhaired, with white streak', and quite older.
