Series: Homestuck
Canon Point: Post Rebellion, Pre-Death

Game: City Of Ariel
OC History:
The Summoner is only briefly mentioned in Homestuck cannon despite the important role he played in the back-story of the main characters. The Ancestor of Tavros Nitram was a renowned man from the lower castes who set up a rebellion against the traditional caste system used in Alternia. Using his advanced powers of telepathic communication with animals and his pupation of wings to inspire the troops who had worked below him, he struck fear and admiration in the people. He was a skilled fighter and brave enough to rise in ranks through hard work alone.
It is during this time, that he meets and eventually wins the heart of Marquise Spinnerett Mindfang. A fearsome pirate who had been expecting their relationship for hundreds of years. He had supposedly won her interest due to his ability to communicate with the great dragon Pyralspite. Eventually the two became matesprits, and their partnership was foretold to eventually lead to her death by his hands.
The revolution, as grand a scale as Signless’s, would eventually be crushed. But he had struck a cord with the highbloods and Her Imperious Condescension to such a degree that The Condesce had sent all adult trolls off of the planet. Forever sending them off towards imperial conquest and keeping their minds away from how their own civilization is run. Alternia is forever after a planet run by children. And it is believed that Pupa Pan fairy tale that is told to them is loosely based around the Summoner and his ventures.
Because The Summoner is a very loosely touched upon character in the series, I have a bit of headcanon to fill in the grey areas. I have it so that Summoner knows of Signless and his plight through the various legends that were passed down and told to him by people of his caste in secrecy. Though because such legends were legally banned by the Condesce they are unclear and often skewed and exaggerated. Summoner, originally given the wiggler name Rufioh Nitram, grew up a firm admirer of Signless's legends, and has with these stories, been raised with the concept of a someday peaceful and non-segregated Alternia. So much so that, while many trolls stuck to wearing their blood colors, Summoner wore a dual color scheme of brown and candy-red. The color of his idol.
He was like Tavros upon growing up. Much more reserved and less violent then most Trolls usually are. He was also physically much weaker then most, his bones light and oddly delicate. Because of such he was often teased and aggressed upon throughout many of his wiggler years. Unlike Tavros, however, he had developed such hardships rather easily into vices and learned to keep a strong outwards appearance against those who attempted to bring him down. It is because of this that he was able to survive into adulthood and eventually join the ranks of the cavalreapers.
His softer personality though had taken many off guard, and while it had been difficult adjusting to military life at first, he had eventually gained the trust of many others in his position. In fact, his rebellion may not have started at all if not for the aid of the men and women who have supported him along the way. It had further boosted his confidence, and when the time came that he was forced to stand up for his beliefs (Probably upon seeing someone close to him fall prey to the highbloods abuse) he did so happily. And he had gained enough support that it had turned into an uprising, and from that, a full fledged rebellion.
His wings were a fluke, something he expected to happen just as much as all those around him would. Which is to say, not at all. A genetic anomaly that had long since been forgotten and that he just so happened to gain. Most likely, much like Rufioh Nitram from Beforus, he had acquired them once he hit puberty, and there is without a doubt that the benefit such extremities aided to his approval into the military ranks. During his time in the rebellion he had come to meet Marquise Spinerett Mindfang. And although their relationship was questionable at first (she being a snarky highblood pirate who for some reason knew too much, and he a leader to an underground lowblood army), they had eventually developed into a matespritship (loving relationship).
As much as they had come to care for one another though, Mindfang had known that their time together was limited. And not due to Summoners own naturally shorter lifespan. Time would come where their lifestyles would clash and it would be with his own lance that he would end Mindfangs life. It would be something that, in the end, would play a major impact on Summoner, someone who relies so heavily on his emotions.
He would lead beasts and men alike into the final battle on the Condense herself. And he would fail. But not without leaving a devastating impact on the empire. One strong enough to have her remove all adult trolls from their home planet for good. And one that would place him down in legends, just like the Signless he had come to admire.
Personality:
Barely anything is stated on Summoner's canon personality. But much has been alluded to within the few pages we have seen of him.
Born into a lower common caste, he has spent many of his years under constant subjugation by the higher classes. He had seen much suffering and misery distilled by the caste system incorporated by the Condesce. And yet it seems, that growing up in such an environment has only made him and his feelings against the system stronger where it has placed many others in constant fear.
He is said to have been brave and skilled, and he is more then strong enough due to having survived his way to adulthood with his particular peoples violent lifestyle. It is also believed that through his physical similarity to Rufio and constant reference to the Peter Pan universe that he probably has the mischievousness and playfulness on par to a lostboy if not of Peter Pan himself. He is willing to take in most matters with a little bit of lighthearted sass. That is not to say, though, that he doesn’t understand the serious issues regarding the world around him. He grew to be a highly respected commander and knows well enough how to handle any military situation. Yet, despite being a strong and fully capable leader, he more then anything wishes for a peaceful, friendly, and fun Alternia. And he is willing to fight for the peace he wishes to one day see.
He does not seem to fall prey to any form of racism despite his beliefs. His matesprit being a high blueblooded noblewoman and from the very group of people he is fighting against. More so, it seems that he is willing to share his beliefs with any willing to listen and only fight against those who violently attempt to oppose him. But seeing as he is the ancestor of Tavros Nitram and the alternate incarnation of Beforus’s Rufioh Nitram, there are also probably times that, when alone, he would show insecurity much like both of them have expressed throughout the canon. It has been proven that he communes openly with Alternian fauna and cares for them just as much as Tavros does. And he probably holds others opinions and feelings in high regard. For one of such notorious legend he is probably extremely atypical of most trolls and their usual behavior. I can personally picture that if he need not resort to violence he won’t. But he will do what he needs to in order to survive and uphold his beliefs, which he is quite stubborn upon.
Age: 13 Sweeps (Looks to be in his late 20's to early 30's)
Gender: Male
Apperance:
Appearance: The Summoner is quite flashy by most Troll standards. Standing at about six feet in height, his height is grossly underestimated by the horns which he keeps balanced on his head, which could be most easily compared to an American football fields goal post. His horns give an extra three feet in height and an extra six feet in width to his normally slender frame. He also, unlike many of his race, has a rather large distinctive pair of butterfly wings, a symbol of his mutation. Asides from that he shares many traits most trolls have, grey skin, black hair (which he dyes patches of in bright red as a symbol to the Signless's plight), and sharp predatory teeth. His eyes are light orange-brown in color, showing his caste as a brown blood as well as yellowed sclera. And although his wardrobe is not as elaborately designed as any highbloods, it bares both his symbol as well as bits of candy-red fraying throughout.
Powers:
FLIGHT- The Summoner is the only Troll in Alternia to have grown wings who is not one of the selected Hivebent trolls. Because of that he has gained much attention from others of his world. They are fully capable of being used and he actually spends a lot of his time flying around.
TELEPATHY- Like his descendant Tavros Nitram, Summoner has the ability to telepathically communicate with wild Alternian Fauna. It is quite powerful and he can communicate with enough animals simultaneously to form an army. But because his telepathy is so strong it makes him highly susceptible to any others who may happen to have psychic powers.
WEAPON (LANCEKIND)- Also like his descendant, Summoner is seen carrying around a large lance around as a weapon.
