History Characters / Doom2016MaykrsAndArgenta

Known also as the "Supreme Maker", the Khan Maykr is the ruler of the Maykrs' 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.

* FallenAngel: [[spoiler: All the Maykrs are this when it is revealed that they betray their creator, who is revealed to be Davoth]].

* DyingRace: Their creator has been missing for an untold length of time, and things have gone FromBadToWorse since as their numbers have dwindled and their leader has gone insane and can't be replaced via their usual means anymore. Only a constant stream of Argent Energy siphoned off from the demons' slaughter of other worlds keeps their world alive. [[spoiler:The Doom Slayer slaughters most of the remaining Maykrs and seemingly brings final destruction on their world. Some dialogue suggests that he may have inadvertently returned their missing creator in the process, so maybe they have a future after all.]]

* 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.]]]]

* AndIMustScream: Their fate after being sold out by the Betrayer: Chained to an altar in Hell and tortured to produce Argent Energy. Thankfully, the Doom Slayer puts them out of their misery in ''VideoGame/Doom2016''.

* BreathWeapon: Demonic Wintherins can breathe [[TechnicolorFire blue fire]], as seen in Immora.

* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: [[spoiler:''The Ancient Gods - Part Two'' shows that the World Spear that marked the beginning of Sentinel History is a giant spaceship, containing ''thousands'' of Wraiths in stasis pods.]]

[[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragonlike]] war beasts used by Hell and the Night Sentinels in battle.

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: They certainly resemble average dragons, but the [[EyelessFace lack of eyes]] certainly makes them much weirder.
* ThinChinOfSin: Inverted, Demonic Wintherins have much shorter chins than normal Wintherins.

* MythologyGag: Rearrange his name and it becomes "Romero", a reference to Creator/JohnRomero, co-founder of Creator/IDSoftware and co-creator of the ''Franchise/{{Doom}}'' franchise.

* {{Jerkass}}: Selfish, condescending, and far too sure of her superiority to humanity and The Doom Slayer.

* TheSociopath: Khan Maykr has condemned millions of souls, enslaved her people, and is now leading an invasion of Earth to slaughter all of humanity all for the sake of her own power.

* CallingYourAttacks: Every time she uses her "rain of fire" attack, she says a word that [[{{Mondegreen}} sounds like "circle" or "servile" but is probably just gibberish.]]

** ''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]].

** Come ''The Ancient Gods Part 2''? [[spoiler:Their ''actual'' creator is now dead, and all demonkind outside of Hell is destroyed. As Maykrs are technically demons themselves, they probably '''''don't''''' have a future at this point and are thus again sentenced to extinction.]]

** [[spoiler: Taken even further in ''Part Two'': he doesn't appear at all, and isn't even mentioned. However, it is implied due to Maykr's being revealed to be [[GodIsEvil Davoth's]] creations and partially demon themselves in origin, it can be inferred that he might have succumbed in his wounded state, just like the Slayer did, without his presence once the Slayer killed The Dark Lord.]]

** [[spoiler: Taken even further in ''Part Two'': he doesn't appear at all, and isn't even mentioned.]]

* PoweredByAForsakenChild: Their fate at the hands of Hell: To fuel the well, providing the Demons with Argent Energy.

* BigBad: The one who sent the demons to invade Earth, and the master of the three Hell Priests that are directing the demonic invasion. While the Icon Of Sin is the actual FinalBoss, he has basically no characterization and is just a monster, and was summoned by Khan Maykr to start with.

A mysterious cloaked individual, Samur Maykr is the very "Seraphim" who empowered the Doom Slayer with great strength and speed to aid in his war with the forces of Hell, seemingly against the wishes of the Khan Maykr herself. ''The Ancient Gods'' DLC confirms that he is the original and true identity of Samuel Hayden.

* TheChessmaster: His stealing of the Father led to the Khan Maykr making a deal with Hell and using Argent Energy to make both realms prosperous. He also manipulated the Doom Slayer ever since the Unholy Wars, ensuring that the Maykrs would become the Doom Slayer's enemy due to allying with the Demons and the Slayer would have the strength to defeat them through the Divinity Machine he used on him. He thus is free to return to Urdak unopposed in ''The Ancient Gods'' DLC. What he ultimately is scheming towards is unknown, only that he seems to want the demons and Maykrs out of his way. As Samuel Hayden, he also manipulated the Doom Slayer to defeat Olivia Pierce's cult and the Demons on Mars, and to retrieve for him the demonic Crucible from Hell, allowing him to continue his Argent research and production and his plans to develop synthetic Argent Energy. All of which during an [[PostPeakOil energy crisis on Earth]] that caused him to be looked by humanity as a legendary saviour with his technology.

* FinalBoss: Of the Part One of ''The Ancient Gods'' DLC.

* TookALevelInJerkass: It's subtle but noticeable that, while he was a ManipulativeBastard even as Samuel Hayden—he was more generally respectful and did have an overall charisma to himself that painted him more as an WellIntentionedExtremist if anything. Once he returns to his actual body however, he very apparently holds a measure of superiority and a mild resentment towards lesser beings in the way he talks—[[BullyingTheDragon especially towards the Slayer]], talking down to him as simply ''his creation'' and little more as he goaded him on to fulfill their mission.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: ''Eternal'' proper doesn't explain what happened to him. The ''Ancient Gods'' DLC reveals that he and Samuel Hayden are one and the same.
** [[spoiler: Taken even further on The Ancient Gods Part Two as the story doesn't mention him.]]

* BadassArmy: An entire order of demon-slaying knights who fought back Hell itself before being betrayed from the inside. [[spoiler:This was the ONLY reason they fell; if not for the treachery, they would have won, making them probably the only army in the franchise to successfully resist the invasion, albeit with help from the Slayer.]]

* 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 mortal flesh 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-genocidal rampage, turning him into the threat of existence the Maykrs tried to stop.]] ''[[SarcasmMode Great Job, guys, really]]''.
