TFWiki would like to apologize for the lewdity of this image.

ADire WraithSorcerer,D'rgehas been onEarthfor years awaiting the arrival of theSpace Knights.Thoughsomemay think he talks too much when he should be executing foes, D'rge knows that knowledge is power and is willing to play the long game to achieve his goals. He's seemingly of a very high rank as he reports to theAbsenceitself.

He lives in a lighthouse. Weirdo.

Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

D'rge learned, or was part, of a "debacle"Tellus-5,where a false sighting of Rom was reported.Earthfall, Part 3After arriving on Earth, he read theNew Testament.Though he didn't think much of humanity's habit of looking to dusty tomes for guidance, he did find a few good quotes.Reinforcements, Part 2

Shortly after Rom had arrived on Earth, a woman calledCamilla Byershad become infected by a Wraith,Earthfall: Preludeand a squad ofWraith Stalkerswas sent after her.EarthfallD'rge was part of a squad aboard aU.S. militarytruck to confirm that thiswasRom and that the Wraiths had succeeded in hiding from hisAnalyzer.Earthfall, Part 3

The squad arrived soon after Rom had slain the Stalkers and prepared to slay Byers. When the Wraiths disembarked, Rom scanned them but when they all read as human, he lowered his guard, allowing D'rge the time he needed to harness his magic and trap both Rom and Camilla in eldritch energy.Earthfall, Part 2

As he had the two suspended, D'rge mocked the shortsightedness and bloodlust of theSolstar Orderwhile also commenting on how unusual it was that Rom was travelling alone as Space Knights always travelled in pairs. Despite his minions insisting that Rom should be killed immediately, D'rge tried to use his magic to strip Rom'sarmorfrom his flesh. He may well have succeeded were it not Camilla calling him a monster which prompted him to telepathically show her the history of the Dire Wraiths on Earth, claiming to be refugees driven from theirhomeand only wanting to survive and prepared to accelerate her Wraith conversion before Rom managed to use this distraction to re-channel hisNeutralizerinto his Analyzer and slay a soldier. D'rge shapeshifted into a shrimp to hide from the Knight.

He was found by a bird the next morning and infected the animal so as to assume the form of aWraith Hawkand flew to a nearby lighthouse. Once inside, he reflected that, all things considered, the encounter with Rom had gone well as the Knight remained ignorant of larger schemes and plans before D'rge infected the lighthouse keeper so as to call upon the energy to summon The Absence.

Communing with the being, D'rge recommended killing Rom at the first opportunity given that the Solstar Order did not seem to know Rom was on Earth. The Absence overruled him however and claimed that the Cybertronians would provide them with a better opportunity to slay their foe. D'rge protested the decision citing the Wraiths' success in hiding from the mechanical beings but The Absence assured him that the aliens'powerwould be bent to their will and spell the end of theSolstar Order.Earthfall, Part 3

Duboskylater brought D'rge the news thatOrphionandLiviahad arrived on Earth. Though David was alarmed by this, D'rge insisted they had no cause for alarm. Not only had the Wraiths been on Earth longer than the Knights, they outnumbered them by a large margin andshewould soon awaken.Reinforcements, Part 2

After Orphion had killedKagan Knight,D'rge and the Absence observed the Space Knight's investigations. Unlike the Absence however, D'rge was skeptical of victory noting how close Orphion was to answers.Long Roads to Ruin, Part 4

With the command staff of both theAutobotsandG.I. Joeoccupied onCybertron,D'rge seized on the opportunity, crafting amagicalvirus that turned humans into Dire Wraiths. Using typical insects as carriers, he sent them after the Micronauts as a test. As he and a subordinate discussed the virus' instability, the Micronauts arrived to slaw the Wraiths. Unfazed, D'rge used his magic to infect the Micronauts with Wraith genetics so Rom could kill them for him.Micronauts: First Strike

Stabilizing the virus, D'rge unleashed it in the sewers as a test trial. The next day at a carnival, he and his subordinate assimilated a couple and prepared to unleash to the virus from atop a ferris wheel. No sooner had the virus been unleashed did Rom streak in with the Micronauts and slay the subordinate. D'rge engaged Rom in battle and sucker-punched the Knight when he turned away to destroy the virus. Confident that the virus could be recreated, D'rge unleashed a magical barrage to slay the Micronauts only to find the miniature heroes had adapted their shields to resist magic. Swearing revenge on them all, D'rge unleashed a burst of light before shapeshifting into something inconspicuous and fleeing.

At a hidden location, D'rge and another sorcerer discussed the Micronauts before they were approached byBaron Karzawho promptly killed the latter as a show of power. Though D'rge has ready to slay Karza for his previous betrayal of the Wraiths, the Baron insisted that the two parties could help each other. After having his intelligence thoroughly insulted, D'rge shrunk down to Karza's size and asked what the Microspacian wanted in return for awakening theWraith god.ROM: First Strike
