Kurloz Makara

For the post-Scratch version of this character, see The Grand Highblood.

Kurloz Makara is the ancestor of Gamzee Makara, and as such is a Rage player of the Pre-Scratch Trolls version of Sburb/Sgrub. He does not speak as he chewed out his own tongue - he is described by Meenah as having a "Stitched up mouth". He seems to gain enjoyment from having mimed conversations with Meulin Leijon, who is deaf and uses sign language. He wears a skeleton costume.

His name is possibly derived from the Sanskrit "kurla," referring to when a group of crows (known in English as a "murder" of crows) cry out over a death. It could also come from the Spanish word "culo" meaning buttocks.

He appears to be some sort of a mime, parallel to Gamzee's clown.

Personality
Outwardly, he seems harmless enough, responding only with a silent smile. He's stated to be incredibly good at pinpointing caliginous relationships. Before the loss of his tongue, he preached about the "messiahs" and the "angels of double death". Meenah and Cronus have both expressed being unsettled by him, which is not entirely unfounded. Kurloz is much more menacing than first implied. He has no qualms with using Meulin as a puppet with his chucklevoodoos. That shouldn't be surprising however, as he is also aiding his "lord" in slaying all of his "friends". He holds allegiance only to Gamzee and Caliborn. Mituna is his Moirail.
