Squalid Host

The Squalid Host was an elven military unit that was active during the Old War. The unit was made up of elves who had been experimented on by their brethren in order to become living weapons. There were two distinct types of soldiers in the unit: the Mul Aruen, or Slave Knights, who were successfully augmented and given advanced magical powers and skills, and the Molohtar, or Thrall Soldiers, who were the results of failed experiments and were sent to die in battle. While the unit was used extensively during the war, it was deemed a failure by the time of the rise of the Imperator and his Evangelion Legions, and the unit was purged by the end of the war, since the elven leaders felt they were a disgrace. However, they were not completely erased, and their descendants can be found in the pallid elves.
