The Hyksos are a strange and mysterious alien race. One of the first unique things that people will notice is that the Hyksos have no names, and as such, they distinguish themselves through titles. Usually titles are shortened to Arch-Magistrate or Enforcer, but in order to distinguish one Enforcer from another, the titles can be even more specific than names. The other odd thing about the Hyksos relates to their biology. Their vocal cords are on the outside of their throats, stretched over a transparent membrane that covers an open hole. They have bony ridges that protrude on the tops of their heads and outline many of their facial features. They usually stand around eight feet tall; however, they can be as short as six feet and the tallest get around ten feet. Their muscles are very dense, and they have horns that protrude from the backs of their hands and also from their knees. The strangest thing about their biology, though, is that they share a large portion of their genetics with humans, which certainly implies that one of these species is based upon the other.

     The Hyksos are extremely militaristic and will fight until every last one of them is dead. They don't do it for honor or glory or even for fun. They do it because it is the only thing they know how to do. According to the Hyksos, after they were created by their gods, they discovered how corrupt and degenerate their creators were. It filled their entire race with a desire to punish these dark gods for having made them. However, many of their gods escaped execution and fled to other dimensions, Now, the Hyksos hunt them, going from dimension to dimension, looking for gods to kill and killing and subjugating any non-Hyksos they meet. They cannot live in peace because they do not understand the concept of peace.

     On top of everything else, the Hyksos have apparently been traveling through dimensions since before they discovered how to harness fire as a technology. More than likely, they took this technology from their gods during the Great War. This last bit of information is not discussed in the novel, but it still useful to know. Every dimension can support three Hyksos dimensional gates: two large and one extra-large. It takes one thousand years for the gates to charge up; the Hyksos have no way to speed this process up. If they could, it probably wouldn't take them too long to overrun every dimension in the multiverse. Of course, with every dimension they conquer, that makes for three more portals that can be constructed.
