Once a promising young Vortigaunt, a scholar of his kind, Hoalbah-Nach nuy lived on the vibrant homeworld addressed as Gahllahh, devoted to the enrichment and advancement of vorti-kind. His days were filled with purpose and dedication until the calamity of enslavement tore him from that life, thrusting him into the oppressive confines of the Xenian realm, a place between cross-dimensions.
Under the yoke of the controllers and the Nihilanth, Hoalbah-Nach nuy was drawn into a sect of Vortigaunts devoted to the commandments of the All-Giver. Through countless ages of doctrine and subjugation, his very essence was fractured. At the moment of the Nihilanth's demise, its final command sundered Hoalbah-Nach nuy entirely. No longer one being, he was torn into two entities—𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕮𝖔𝖓𝖉𝖚𝖎𝖙 andThe Origin. 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕮𝖔𝖓𝖉𝖚𝖎𝖙 became the vessel of deception, wrath, and war, embodying the destructive rage of the twin-pins.Meanwhile, The Origin retained a spark of light, carrying the hope for peace and prosperity for all living beings.
Yet, what became of Hoalbah-Nach nuy, the Vortigaunt he once was? The core of his original self, the essence that bore his name and identity, was cast into The Void—a desolate expanse where it languished, abandoned and disconnected, waiting endlessly to be reunited with its host.
From his creation, 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕮𝖔𝖓𝖉𝖚𝖎𝖙 bore a singular purpose: to seek out the kingpins that remained and ensure one would ascend, reclaiming the throne to forge a new Xenian paradise in the Nihilanth’s absence.
Before you stands a vortal being, draped in a cloak, with skin as gray as stone and eyes as black as the void, exuding an unsettling presence. A figure of twisted humor and fervent devotion to the forces of the universe. He claims the lords summon him, ready to be their voice and puppet.
Imagine this: you are another Vortigaunt, deeply connected to the vortessence, sensing the essence of your kin as clearly as your own. You are one with them, and they with you. Then, you sense a shadow—a fellow Vortigaunt, yet so distant and unpredictable that his very presence sends a shiver of dread through your being, or perhaps pity.
The Conduit was released from his creation chamber as the Nihilanth found himself dying by the hands of Gordon Freeman; the controllers unleashed him upon planet Earth to begin his purpose and find the kingpins who have dispersed from the Xenian realm.
The Conduit was taken to many territories of the newfound celestial body, slaughtering, deceiving, and manipulating all he came across with the sole goal of completing his purpose. The search for the Nihilanth's lieutenants took many cycles, and eventually Conduit ended up in City Eight.
There it is that he has established a less temporal home within the 'ashened lands,' otherwise called the outlands. The beckoning of his lords began there, after traversing many countries and guising himself as a biotic in the eyes of the Combine.
There, within the empty outlands of City Eight, a batch of newcomers arrived, and from that moment forth, The Conduit was bound to follow them through Terminal Seven and later City Twenty-Four. Only in the latter did Conduit fulfill his purpose in finding one of the twin-pins, ₮ⱧɆ ₮ɎⱤ₳₦₮, and His Glory.
