Nogard, originally born a normal Precursor named Lucifel-Nogard and later dubbed the Necros Demon during the Necros War, was a monstrous warrior beast, created during the Precursor-Hydra War as an attempt to forge a template for an army of anti-Hydra soldiers. Lucifel's thirst for vengeance, however, caused him to fail his overall purpose, and the Precursor Sovereign Council ordered him executed or contained, leading to his imprisonment on Facility-03.
