York

Type: Former Crawler Species: Tenodera (mantis) First Appearance: Book 7

Overview

York is a tenodera (mantis) who was a crawler in a mantis dungeon season. Now the sole remaining creature aboard the Homecoming Queen, he broadcasts poetry over open channels — until blocked.

He is emotionally numb due to his warrior-bred tenodera DNA, which was specifically developed to crack enemy hives and kill their children. He writes poetry as an attempt to reconnect with feeling.

The Orc Yacht

York executed the order to destroy the orc king's yacht using an NPB weapon. The yacht contained orc children, including the new king of the Skull Empire (the previous king Stalwart having died). He timed the destruction to appear as crossfire during a battle where everyone else was already shooting. Princess Formidable is next in line for the Skull Empire, or Prince Maestro if she is dead.
