Doctor Stavos Keniclius was a Human scientist who lived on Earth in the era of the Eugenics Wars.
Early Career and Eugenics Was[]
In the late 1960's Stavos worked with Dr. Sarina Kaur (mother of Khan Noonien Singh ) in the development a secret program to breed a new race of super men, known as augments. But in 1974 the project was destroyed by agent Gary 7, leaving Stavos as one of the few surviving scientists who was responsible for Chrysalis's creation.
By 1983 Stavos and a large number of his followers had fled of what remand of the Chrysalis Project and set up a new base in the hopes of re starting what they lost. But their project was found by the United States and forces were sent to apprehend him. Although heavy losses were taken on each side during the battle, Stavos escaped the base. Even though most of his augment troops were killed in the battle, he planned to begin again. But this time with a new base in Libya, who's leader owed him a few favors.

During that period, he planned to clone the perfect specimen prototype into a master race. The concept was considered anti-humanistic by Earth leaders, and Dr. Keniclius was exiled. Later essays further explained that he intended to use his master race as a peace-keeping force throughout the galaxy.
Exile[]

Keniclius eventually left Earth and continued his search for the perfect specimen, becoming known in legends as the modern day Diogenes, before finally ending up on the distant planet Phylos. Unfortunately, Keniclius was a carrier of a non-native staphylococcus bacterium, to which the Phylosians, a species of "intelligent plants," had no resistance. The bacteria spread like a plague and nearly destroyed all life on Phylos. Keniclius worked to save the Phylosians from his disease. The Phylosians eventually referred to Keniclius as "the Master."
Before his death, Keniclius was able to produce several clones of himself, including Stavos Keniclius 5, to continue his search for the perfect specimen. (TAS: "The Infinite Vulcan")
