Karnak

Bio: After Karnak's older brother, Triton, was changed by the Terrigen Mists with undesired results, his parents begged to have Karnak avoid a similar transformation. Their request was granted, and Karnak was sent to his father's Tower of Wisdom to physically and mentally train. Karnak's honed skills allow him to spot and exploit any weakness of an opponent or structure. Using these martial skills, Karnak now serves Black Bolt and the Inhuman royal family to this day.
