Stavos Keniclius
Doctor Stavos Keniclius was a Human scientist who lived on Earth in the era of the Eugenics Wars.

During that period, he planned to clone the perfect specimen prototype into a master race. The concept was considered antihumanistic by Earth leaders, and Dr. Keniclius was exiled. Later essays further explained that he intended to use his master race as a peace-keeping force throughout the galaxy.

Keniclius eventually left Earth and continued his search for the perfect specimen, becoming known in legends as the modern day Diogenes, before finally ending up on the distant planet Phylos. Unfortunately, Keniclius was a carrier of a non-native staphylococcus bacterium, to which the Phylosians, a species of "intelligent plants," had no resistance. The bacteria spread like a plague and nearly destroyed all life on Phylos. Keniclius worked to save the Phylosians from his disease. The Phylosians eventually referred to Keniclius as "the Master."

Before his death, Keniclius was able to produce several clones of himself, including Stavos Keniclius 5, to continue his search for the perfect specimen. ()
