Araknos

Template:Infobox titans Araknos is The Legendary Titan of Mind and the main source of power for The Organization since bonding with Simon Judeau. Most Titans are found to be most useful fighting on the front lines, and as a result, they have influenced the cultures that fought against and alongside them. Araknos's true power, however, lies in manipulation; therefore, the Seekers fortunate enough to control Araknos rarely make this public, and instead stay in the background, pulling the strings of his will-bending webs to control their enemies.

Used by the Professor to manipulate individuals throughout the series, Araknos created a false past for The Organization making it appear as though it had existed for centuries where it had really only existed for a few decades. Araknos takes the form of a large spider-like creature with a red coloration, numerous red eyes, an exposed brain, fangs, and eight limbs.

History

As one of the three Legendary Titans, Araknos was one of the three Titans used by Lord Casterwill when the Titans were first summoned to earth. Not much is known of Casterwill's usage of the three as the ancient past is shrouded in mystery. Before his death, Casterwill sealed Araknos's ring within an Aztec temple.

Re-Awakening the Titans

Araknos was the first of the three to be disturbed after Casterwill sealed it when the Seeker trio Metz, Simon Judeau and Eathon Lambert managed to find its resting place. Although Metz and Eathon were against disturbing the Titan due to the curse warnings on the temple door, Simon selfishly took the ring and was cursed, having to be hospitalized with no hope of treatment. Araknos offered the dying Seeker a chance to live and Simon accepted.

The Organization

Araknos was the key in starting The Organization and as its leader, Simon used Araknos's mind abilities to erase Simon and took the new identity as The Professor. Using the Titan's abilities further, Simon manipulated people into following him. Araknos, along with the other Legendary Titans, were used to summon Overlos. But with the interference of Dante's team, the Professor failed and Araknos dragged him to the Spirit World.

Abilities

Using magical web to connect to the victims head, Araknos is able to manipulate the thoughts and minds of the target. The Titan can alter the victims personality, control their actions, and alter their memories. The web used can easily be broken by fire. Almost all are effected by Araknos' mind control abilities, the exception being Albion and Ignatius Titans. Even when Seekers bond with Araknos, the Titan will take control.

Trivia

• When the Professor summoned Araknos he said, "Move the people in between."
• Araknos' name comes from the fact that he bears a resemblance to an arachnid.
• Since many titans have some basis in world legend or mythology there is a possibility Araknos could be partly related to Anansi, whom is a big part of African mythology.
