Summoners (Earth-616)

The Summoners have been around since the first war between Amenth and Okkara. A female Summoner was present at the negotiation between the Okkaran and Amenthi forces, and departed in Arakko to seal off the portal to Amenth and was seemingly on the side of the mutants.^[3]

On the other side a number of Okkaran mutants were overwhelmed by the hellish energies of the planet and ran off resulting in their capture by Annihilation who then forced these mutants to breed with her Daemons creating the hybrid sub-race known as the Vile Schools.^[4] This was a secret project of the Summoners who formed another branch to seemingly serve Amenth, which they did for millenia.

During the hundreds of years of war the Summoners of Arakko allegedly began to drop,^[1] but with the secret branch serving Amenth they were actually at full strength.^[2]

The High Summoner of Arrako, who had been born there was sent to find his grandfather Apocalypse.^[1] This spurred his grandmother Genesis to become one with Annihilation, conquering what she saw as a fallen Arakko in the name of Amenth, the Summoners became a prison guards of the Arakkii population's enemies.^[4]

The High Summoner returned to Arrako through the External Gate his grandfather made for him.^[2] He wounded his own guard who were sent Apocalypse to accompany him and returned to Krakoa for more assistance. He was able to bring his grandfather and his team of Krakoans to Otherworld where he was greeted by his family that had surrendered to Amenth and Annihilation and attacked Apocalypse and his team.^[5]

During the war between Amenth and Krakoa in Otherworld, all of the Summoners were summoned at the Otherworld battlefield so they could help Annihilation in conquering Krakoa. However, they weren't enough and after Annihilation's defeat, the Summoners were left on Blightspoke where they yoke the survivors of dead realities, making it easier for the Vescora to strip-mine the place, all in the service of their new Mistress, Saturnyne.^[6]

Saturnyne was eventually dethroned, and with their master gone most of the Summoners left Blightspoke to return to Amenth. The few Summoners that remained in Blightspoke either became tainted or were captured by Orchis.^[7] Later they were conquered by Genesis who sought to make them part of her armada to assault the mutants of Arakko to force them into becoming stronger. One of the Summoners informed Genesis and her horsemen about the demise of Tarn the Uncaring, shocking her.^[8]

They assisted Genesis in her war against the Arakko's Brotherhood, arriving to Planet Arakko alongside the Daemons and White Sword's Ninety-Nine Champions.^[9] It's unknown what exactly happened to them following Genesis' defeat.^[10]

The High Summoner of Arakko wielded the blade known as Colony.^[5]

• The history of the Summoners is somewhat confused, especially since their High Summoner is a noted liar.^[5]

• The Summoners and the beings they summon seem to be based on the Cthulhu Mythos.
