POV: K'Tami T'soni
My mother was a famed archeologist and historian best known for her works surrounding the famed hero's, The Unknowns. Otherwise known as the people and group that saved this galaxy thrice over. Their name was given to them by some fuck off asshole of a historian who didn't like how they went about things during the war and the name stuck. Though most of his animosity was aimed at Aedon my mother told me that they quite liked the name actually. Not caring a bit about that man's thoughts.
That said in the years since, the 1100 years, two people have been able to summon Aeodn Wynne. The first being Ulysses when his child was taken by the STG and the second about 600 years after that. So about 200 years ago when I was just about 100 years old the second summoner of Aedon surfaced.
We had entered an unprecedented era of peace. To the point that even the Wynne family, notorious for going after everyone, was almost completely silent. Of course this didn't last and our galaxy was invaded by a group of people who called themselves the Kett. They were strong and were able to invade several sections deep into our galaxy.
The Wynne's ran interference during this time fucking with their supply lines and their spec ops people in general. The Wynne's may not have been associated with any government but they were by far the best spec ops group in the galaxy. Their family were the be all end all of spec ops groups and to be invited to work with them was a high honor only afforded to the best.
However, they Wynne's hadn't taken a major role in the fighting and their Essence users hadn't gone to town on the Kett for the first two years of the war. The fighting far away from Rannoch they contributed but didn't fully buy in. Choosing instead to let the governments fight the war which is what they had done in the past. However, that changed at the beginning of the third year of the war.
A combination of STG, N7 and BlackWatch operators were able to infiltrate a Kett facility on the edge of the galaxy. What they found changed the tide of the war on a drastic scale. They found that they Kett were taking people and turning them into Kett themselves. Taking away their freedom of choice and seeing us as no better than cattle to supplement them.
When this news found the Wynne family the biotic storm they unleashed from their sheer anger could be felt throughout the entire galaxy. The Kett didn't know what that feeling meant or was but everyone else did, especially the people fighting on the front line. There are repored cases of people breaking down into uncontrollable laughter upon hearing the news. People laughing so hard that they were crying.
All because to them it was the most hilarious thing they had heard since the war had started. As the Wynne family had been helping in the war but they hadn't fully comitted, content to let the governments fight the war until they had to intervene. When that news broke that was no longer the tale as it violated the one and only true commandment that the Wynne family followed to the tee.
Those who deal in flesh deserve no mercy.
That was a commandment that followed no matter what. Killing people who believed they were untouchable. People who had the backing of worlds and systems and the Wynne's did not care, they killed them. Then though, they had a group who were taking the freedom away from people and forcing them into something they didn't want. Making them slaves in all but name and Wynne family took exception to that.
By week's end the frontline had all eight of the current Wynne family Essence users on them. They showed no mercy, no quarter, no consideration. Death and chaos were the only things that they unleashed upon the Kett. They were shown the horror that the Wynne family could be if they chose to be.
The unleashed terror upon the Kett. Routed them in every sector, pushed them back until they lost everything. Every spec of ground that they gathered since the war began vanished within the span of six months.
When all was said and done the Kett were pushed back to a singular system and to a singular planet where their entire force resided. They planed on that being where they would counterattack from when everything failed. That was not to be.
For when the fighting began it didn't. Thousands upon thousand of ships against each other just staying there in the middle of space until a horn went off. The horn didn't come from anyone on our side or the Kett's, it came from the Wynne family. As the head of their family simply walked to an airlock and stepped out.
We were shocked and confused as to why he would do that until he began to glow. Beyond what other Essence users could do and almost pure white he glowed until it exploded out from him. And when it did we saw Aedon Wynne standing next to him.
They slaughtered the Kett ships and destroyed the world that they were using as a staging ground. One person and a ghost did that as if they were going out to get groceries and then they came back. The patriarch of the family sitting back down in his chair while Aedon disappeared. Copmletely silent and refused to answer any questions.
The mop up lasted another year as we cleared all Kett influence from the galaxy but after that the Wynne family went back to what they were great at. Keeping the entire galaxy in check.
Something that their performance solidified. Even if we didn't know if summoning Aedon was hereditary or not we weren't willing to risk it. Aedon was a killer of worlds and gods, in other words; you do no fuck with him.
