Horatio the First is the leader, name-giver, and proverbial genetic template of Endless Space's Horatio faction.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Having been severely bullied in his childhood for having a head that looks like something out of a Giger painting, Horatio the First used his arguably oversized mental faculties to amass a fortune numbering in the trillions. Alas, this did little to satisfy him, and so the first Horatio bought a colony ship with himself as the only living soul aboard and set a course for an isolated planet at the edge of known space.
Whether it was fate or if Horatio had known it all along was debatable, but it soon became apparent that this planet (humbly christened 'Horatio Prime') contained highly advanced cloning facilities left behind by the local precursor race. A sensible man, Horatio the First promptly used these technological marvels to populate the otherwise lifeless planet with the most beautiful thing in the universe he could think of - himself.
But what is a single planet? With a endless scores of easily replaceable clones under his wise and hardly narcissistic command, Horatio the First now seeks to "beautify" the rest of the universe by reshaping it in his divine likeness. Which is to say by cramming more Horatios into it.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Horatio the First debuted in 8chanmania LXI. He nonchalantly displaced Monika of DDLC infamy, but Yuuka Kazami could not comprehend his beauty.
He returned 8chanmania LXXV. Horatio won his first fight against Nigra and wasted no time as he used nanomachines to turn him into another Horatio, but quickly met his match in Los Tiburon one round later. That the wrestler actually helped him up after the match dealt such a blow to Horatio's sensible ego that the conehead swore eternal vengeance against him.
The Ratio to Horatio[edit | edit source]
By the time of 8chanmania LXXXVI, the horatio'd Nigra (called /b/oratio) was virtually indistinguishable from Horatio the First, safe for his pimping afro. Unwilling to overlook this major flaw on an otherwise perfect body, Horatio Prime sought to shave it off - and indeed did exactly that after besting his resisting servant in a fight. Things took a turn for the weird when v-tan showed up and demanded that the Nigra be returned, and following some further mayhem, Horatio tapped out against the combined power of /v/-tan and a restored /b/rother.
Last Appearance[edit | edit source]
Thought not directly involved in 8chanmania XCVIII, he and one of his clones appeared in an aftershow match following the conclusion of the mania. Their battle against Hank Hill and Bobby Hill made it reasonably clear that questionable beauty standards do not beat pro-pain.
