As the title says, these are the robotic grunts of the Xel Empire, an evil intergalactic race who pride themselves on conquering as many planets as possible in order to expand their reach, while using these android servants to do most of the dirty work. (Note: This bio page concludes all of the characters that have appeared in the Unlimited Evil comic through the first issue and first three chapters of the story.)
Re: Xel Interlopers - The Robotic Grunts of the Xel Empire
OCP: Yes, the Xel are humanoids.They are something like the Romulans from Star Trek, in that they have those pointed ears and are a from a warlike interstellar empire, but they have purple skin and green hair. Also, to go along with their tendency to just sit back and let others do the hard work, they are a bit secretive about themselves too, so they have a habit of wearing masks when out in public, but the masks range from just simple eye masks to full head covering helmets, it just depends on their personal levels of privacy.

Glad you like the concept B. I didn't really elaborate on the Xel themselves, but it's really more of a sense of pride and laziness rather than cowardliness. Eventually I will get to posting the bios for the military leaders and the ruling family of the Empire, and they are all formidable fighters in their own right, with dangerous powers and abilities of their own, but they are far too haughty to want to soil their hands on anything they deem beneath themselves.
Re: Xel Interlopers - The Robotic Grunts of the Xel Empire
I really like the concept behind the Xel -- conquest by proxy by a people too cowardly to do the job themselves. Chilling, and quite believable. I like the design of the androids too. Nice work.
