The albino reptilian man stood before them, in the middle of the path. He raised his left arm, encased in rust-red armor plates lined with gold, and made a gesture of peace. "Please, holster your weapons. I am of no threat to you." he said.

"Oh, yes you are! Last time, you were going to sink your claws into my stomach, you bastard." said Tsang, as he held his daughter close to him.

"That was so long ago, Mr. O'Meara. I am different now." said Typhon, while leaning against a bamboo staff.

Senadoui stepped up and looked upon the lizardman. He noticed the fundoshi wrapped about Typhon's pelvis. "You have... changed."

>> This is Typhon, from the DatChildren universe.

It's been a while since I've visited anything from my DatChildren stories, though Typhon's been the only one to have been rendered visually several times. He is an A.I. under the command of Karasu Bioelectric's ruthless chairman, Elijah McMarron. Early on, he is treated like a son, and obeys his "father" unquestioningly, until he met one of the "DatChildren" born from tissue lattice wombs who corrupted his data with their divine purity of information.

Later on, thanks to McMarron, he acquires a body in the real world, but ends up becoming very paternal and wishes to sire his own children. In exchange for betraying his "father", he receives the capability to reproduce (his fundoshi is comparable to the fig leaf in the myth of Adam and Eve).

At the moment, there's no female character named Echidna. >_>
