Hades
Hades: a construct built in the first era of Sanctuaris, directed to guard the tombs and catacombs of the kindgom, he was also instructed in helping maintain the harvesting constructs when the kingdoms crafters could not during the great war of the Djaradin.
Discovered in the Hall of Death, Hades is an ancient construct who assisted in the awakening of the Traveler. It was discovered in a state of corruption, meant to hide the distinction between friend and foe, and had to be purified by combined efforts of Kwyn and Syreena .
Excerpt of Hades' restoration:
Ru'Zyreph nods in satisfaction, and looks from the golem to the workshop supplies, "Can you point to anything here that looks like your vocal processor? I'm no expert with mechanics, but I could probably do a simple swap."
The construct points to what appears to be a piece of chalk.
Ru'Zyreph hands it over and wanders to a nearby chalkboard, curious to see what the construct will write.
The construct crudely draws out a magic circle and draws a stick figure with an arrow pointing to its neck
"Hmm! Okay then, hold still for me." Ru'Zyreph studies the magic circle, then takes the chalk and reaches up to the golem's neck, attempting to replicate the design there.
The rune glows and engraves itself into the neck, replacing the old scratches that may have been the previous symbol there that wore down, the glow would increase whenever it attempted to make noise, make a low beeping noise, the sound clearly wasn’t humanoid, and as soon as the beeping ended it looked over. It spoke in an ancient language, “function re-stored, audio circle working” it spoke in a stiff way, in the same ancient Draconic dialect Ru'Zyreph had been using to communicate with it.
Kwyn, frowning at the narrow opened, grits her teeth and squeezes through. 'Plate armor,' she thinks ruefully, does not squeeze. She gets a little stuck once but perseveres and manages to enter the hallway. It takes her a moment to catch up to where Ruzy is talking to the construct. "Oh hello. What do we have here, Ru?"
The golem speaks, “Hades, guardian of the catacombs.”
