History[]
Creation[]
After being sent to the Realm of the Darkness, a former Darkness host Lulkam-Sin, united former victims of the Darkness wielders and waged a war against a rival faction named the Green Pennant. Over the course of thousand years, the faction accumulates a group of slaves including Sonatine himself.
The Black Guidon[]
After Jackie Estacado defeats a group of the Green Pennant soldiers who attacked him and Sonatine, Lulkam-Sin arrives riding a giant serpent. As Lulkam-Sin's serpent is hungry, he orders Sonatine to feed it by cutting his arm throwing to the serpent as food. Sonatine is then ordered to leave. Lulkam-Sin proceeds to tell him that Jackie now will ride with him as killing those Darklings was a declaration of war to the Green Pennant. They're then attacked by the Darklings and the two of them fight them off. After the battle, Lulkam-Sin takes Jackie with himself as a giant maw opens up to swallow the dead. Lulkam-Sin explains that the maw swallows the corpses of the dead, but the Darkness wielders are brought back to fight more.
Lulkam-Sin then brings Jackie to his camp were they rest. After they rest, Lulkam-Sin and Jackie continue to fight the Green Pennant. Jackie then convinces Lulkam-Sin to push the Green Pennant to the maw and thus take over all their territory. Together they push the Darklings to the centre of the maw. As the maw opens up, Jackie decides to stay, but Lulkam-Sin refuses to let him go. He grabs Jackie and tries to drag him away. Jackie struggles free and stabs Lulkam-Sin in the chest. The two then proceed to fall into the maw were Lulkam-Sin is digested.
Like the rest denizens of the realm, the Black Guidon is purified by the light and then brought to their final judgement by the Shepherd of Sinners.
