History Characters / Doom2016MaykrsAndArgenta

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: As it turns out, the Maykrs are responsible for pretty much '''''[[UpToEleven everything wrong in the series.''''' [[spoiler:They were created by Davoth, who was the original first Being in creation, creator of the rest of existence, and the all-powerful Father. The Maykrs were created by him to find the secret to Immortality so that he could gift it to all his creations, as the physical form was unable to handle an undying spirit. The Maykrs eventually found it. However, they judged that it was too dangerous to be given to Davoth, as they had come to believe that he would be a threat to all life. So they betrayed him, took most of his godly power and the secret to Immortality, sealed the realm of Jekkad, used the stolen power to ascend on of their own as The Father, then rewrote their history to hide the truth that Davoth ever existed, that he was God, and that the Maykrs betrayed him. However, this great betrayal from his creations, taking his power, name, achievements and his life's dream from him drove Davoth so mad with rage that he became the Dark Lord, warping the realm of Jekkad and his people into Hell, and fuelled his multiversal-genocided rampage, turning him into the threat of existence the Maykrs tried to stop.]] ''[[SarcasmMode Great Job, guys''.

** ''The Ancient Gods Part 2'' reveals the truth of why they look demonic:[[spoiler:They technically are the ''first Demons'', because they were made by '''Davoth''' before he became the Dark Lord and corrupted his people with his rage]].

* HeelFaceTurn: Not during the game, no no, they remain antagonists. But in ''The Ancient Gods Part 2'' codex, it is revealed that [[spoiler:The Father didn't make the Maykrs; '''Davoth did'''. He had hoped that their machine minds would help him find the key to immortality, which they actually did. However, they judged that Davoth would become a threat to all life, and betrayed him while sealing away Jekkad, before settling in Urdak and altering the records to hide this truth. This betrayal by his creations, along with them taking the secret of Immortality that he sought for his people, is what [[NiceJobBreakingItHero enraged Davoth to the point of becoming the Dark Lord and hating all life.]]

* DropTheHammer: Valen wields Helmbreaker, an Argent Energy warhammer can be seen resting against his seat when the Slayer visits his hideout. [[spoiler:In ''The Ancient Gods - Part Two'', he gives it to the Doom Slayer and gets an identical one that's blue and powered by Sentinel energy.]]

* RedemptionRejection: He chooses to stay in Hell than fight alongside the Doomguy to redeem himself for betraying the Argent D'Nur.

* BackForTheFinale: [[!spoiler: He makes a comeback to aid the Slayer and the Night Sentinels in ''The Ancient Gods: Part Two.'']]

** It's revealed that the reason for this is that the Seraphs, including Samur Maykr, do not answer to Khan Maykr at all and only answer to [[God the Father]] himself and are unable to act against His will instead... even if they are given more room to be ''vocal'' about their differences to his plan compared to the lesser Maykrs.

* OurAngelsAreDifferent: They may invoke LightIsNotGood [[spoiler: and StarfishAliens when you see the Khan Maykr’s face]], but as far as we’ve seen, they’re the closest thing the ''Doom'' universe has to actual angels, even downright to living in a Heaven-like world and having being created by an apparently god-like figure, the Father. They even get directly referred to as “angels” and “angelic” multiple times in the story. It's believed in they are the basis for concepts like heaven and angelic beings across countless cultures and that they've manipulated those cultures into worshipping them. In The Ancient Gods Part 1, the Seraphs, who are Maykrs, are direct helpers and assisstants to [[God The Father]] , and even travel to the physical world to do his will. They are even called "angelic" and are bound to the will of The Father

* ItsAllAboutMe: The second he returns to his Maykr form, he immediately begins kissing his own ass; crediting himself for saving Urdak by creating the Slayer, whomst owes his new power to him. Before the Father's life sphere is destroyed, Samur cements his narcissism by saying the Father will save '''him''', with nothing said about Urdak or even Earth.

** ''The Ancient Gods'' imply that because [[TopGod The Father]] was more directly responsible for the creations of both Urdak [[spoiler:and what would become Hell]], as well as Codex entries heavily imply that yes, [[spoiler:that roughly ''is'' their natural appearance (minus the degradation they have later in life that causes them physical and mental pain) and the whole demon-like look they have is a carry-over from what the Father envisioned for both to appear as.]]

Known also as the "Supreme Maker", the Khan Maykr is the ruler of the Maykr's homeworld, Urdak. She is the main antagonist of ''DOOM Eternal'', and while that fact is clear from her first appearence, her nature and her past with the Doom Slayer are slowly revealed to the player as the game goes on.

* TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[AlwaysChaoticEvil The demons may be evil]], but their writings indicate a loathing of traitors like him, referring to him as "wretched".

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Implied. Despite the Doom Slayers overall physical prowess, he still feels the need to kneel to King Novik. For the record, Sentinel royalty is picked by whoever is the better warrior.

* OneWingedAngel: His Transfigured form loses the robes and the mechanical parts, and becomes a monstrous being, with glowing purple wings, a single eye in the middle of his body and the ability to summon demons. He resembles a smaller version of the Khan Maykr. Possibly explained as this was supposed to happen: Vega/The Father chose him as the new Khan Maykr, which triggered the transfiguration. Samur's mind also remains intact.

%%[[folder:Blood Maykr]]
%% Maykr Angels who have become corrupted by Hell's influence. Introduced in ''Doom Eternal'''s ''The Ancient Gods'' expansion.
%% DeflectorShields: They're equipped with ones similar to that of the Khan Maykr. However, they behave more like the Marauder's shield, in that they will afford the Blood Maykr complete immunity to any attack until they drop their guard to attack.

** As ''Anicent Gods'' reveals, [[spoiler: in the past they had to power to revive anything as long as they had a life sphere and said being had a strong enough will to survive the process.]]

* BodyHorror: His transfigured form is hardly easy on the eyes, his body now entirely organic in appearance and taking on a PurpleIsPowerful coloration. He has [[EyesDoNotBelongThere a very prominent slit eye]] below his ribcage, while his own eye-slit has now become orange. His face is no longer humanoid, having been twisted into a more bestial maw with what looks like fully exposed brain atop his head, and his fingers had fused into three-digit claws. He has now also grown Khan Maykr-esque wings out of his body, the bones of which can be heard ''cracking and crunching into place'' before his fight.
