PERSONALITY 

Manus is an adult Sky Knight who, in his tribe was known as one of the most skilled and powerfull warriors. He was praised by all for his victories on the battlefield but Manus himself never felt happy or that what he did was good. In his new home he left the other Sky Knights behind and keeps a low profile as he believes that they want to take him back to the old world to continue to fight more senseless battles 

STORY 

Manus, the blood tipped wing, was feared by the enemies of his tribe and known as a killing machine and helped his people to many victories. However, he never felt any pride in his title as the "Strongest Warrior" nor his accomplishments on the battlefield. He would have rather been a Scout, out exploring his surroundings and foraging for food but his skill as a solder made his pleas to the high court of women fall on deaf ears. They told him, that once all enemies of their tribe were defated he and his family would be able to life in peace. But when he returned one day to an empty home, being informed that his mate and child died during birth, his worldview and everything he believed in was shattered. 

After the teleporter error that transported him and the others to the surface, he took this one chance he believed he was given to start a new life and fled, hoping to never having to return to the battlefield. To Verus this felt like he was betraying both his title and his people, so he chased after him, trying to take Manus' title in battle. They clash many times but Manus always remains victorious.

Not knowing much about life outside the Biosphere, Manus spent a long time just wandering around the megacity. It was his good looks that landed him some small modeling jobs, that later launched his career as a professional model, promoting many different clothing brands and even his own cologne. This much to the dismay of Verus, who now has to see his face everytime he goes shopping or turns on the TV. 

It was through his various TV ad campaigns and his face appearing all over Social Media, that Nova managed to track him down. Manus made it very clear tho, that he has no interest in returning to the Biosphere. Knowing that, if Manus wanted him dead, there wouldn't be much Nova could do, he asked to at least stay in contact to which Manus agreed. He sometimes joins short trips with Nova and his friends Jonathan and Simon. 

RELATIONSHIPS 

Verus:

While he does not necessarily fear Verus, his constant tries to find Manus strengthens his believes that the other Sky Knights want to bring him back to the Biosphere. Manus doesn't believe Verus to be evil or an enemy but he still tries to avoid him as much as possible. 

Andjamos:  

Manus felt bad about leaving his warchief behind in an unfamiliar place but the allure to start a new more peacefull life was to strong to ignore. Now that he sometimes spends time with Nova he really wants to reconnect with Andjamos but doesn't know how and is afraid he might still hold a grudge or would force him to return to his fighting days. 

Gaelus:

While respecting the old man and his ways, Manus never saw eye to eye with Gaelus who likes fighting a bit too much for Manus' taste. Even tho Gaelus doesn't take it as far or serious as Verus does, Manus enjoys not having to tend to injuries every evening because his mentor got too carried away during training. 

Nova:

Manus doesn't understand why Nova wants to spend so much time with him but he enjoys the company of him and his friends very much. The day they reconnected tho, Manus didn't recognise him and in the fight that followed, Nova almost defeated him. This kinda amused Manus as he would much rather have Nova wear his title than Verus, but he isn't gonna give it up that easily…
