see 'Caleth' http://the-many-worlds.wikia.com/wiki/Caleth

"We see your fragile world but do not know what to make of it. We do not understand - cannot - as we are but an empty husk, within which emotions hold no sway nor meaning..."

'Maetesk' is the name taken by the altered Caleth, (see Caleth for detail on the alteration). The parasite and ceree have merged, and now are one entity. It uses the word 'we' instead of 'I' to describe itself and its intentions. Caleth's alerons were destroyed during the transformation, and his body is covered with shell-like pieces that regenerate if broken. The parasite - and indeed Maetesk - are a paradox of nature and should not exist, and as such Maetesk has immense power.

However, Maetesk is devoid of emotions and feelings, and has no concept of 'good' nor 'evil', and can rarely be reasoned with to believe one or the other is 'right'. It wanders the world performing random acts - either helping or attacking.

Maetesk's organic armour makes a sound like stone as he walks - and, because of these pieces, he is so heavy that he cannot run. This is a fitting sound, due to the fact that Maetesk is more like a living statue now than anything else.

(A statue-like being that cannot eat, drink, run, feel emotions or feelings - that cannot feel love nor pain. With its flowing power came the cost of Caleth's mind, and as such Maetesk is far more a curse than a blessing - at least to him. Time will tell whether Maetesk is a hinderance or a help to the ceree).

Maetesk is the first of Destiny's machinations, and has set about the task of placing symbols and wards upon Shah'Haien to prepare for the eternal's eventual return. (The magic weakens the gates holding him back a little per cast).
