Forga sog-Forgos
Forga sog-Forgos, Viscount of Mars was one of the surviving Wellsians whom Pythagoras-858 failed to defeat at Morningstar 1 on Venus.
Biography
In 1897
Forga was one of the Wellsians of the 97th Cosmos who participated in the attempted 1897 invasion of Earth Earth. After the invasion was foiled by a plague which decimated the Wellsians, a few non-contaminated ones escaped in a Tripod modified for space travel, which found its way to Venus, where it crashed. (VIDEO: The Wellsians, PROSE: The Resurrection of the Wellsians) The seven Wellsians who survived the crash went into hibernation while their craft became buried under many feet of Venusian sand. Eventually, nearly a century later, a base called Morningstar 1 was built by the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids over the exact spot of the crash. The Wellsians, in their sleep, telepathically felt the new presences, but did not wake yet. (PROSE: The Resurrection of the Wellsians)
Resurrection
- See main article: Mandragora's Great Experiment
Having unearthed the Tripod by accident while trying to dig up a new pool, the alchemist Mandragora-257, who had been banished to Morningstar 1 after one of his experiments went wrong in the Homeworld, engaged in a “Great Experiment” to revive the intact, but hibernating Wellsians he had extracted from the wreckage. He promised the base's Governor that the resurrected aliens, who would be able to rebuild their Heat Rays, would allow him to rebel against the Crew once and for all, conquer the Earth, and use it as a launching point for an all-out campaign across the Multiverse.
However, the Wellsians were playing the Cupids for their own ends. After finding that the Governor had locked the three Fog Ships kept on retainer in the base, they sent a psychic distress call to the Cupid Homeworld to lure a new vehicle: the Department of Problem-Solving's Ship. The Problem-Solvers uncovered Mandragora's plans, but were unable to stop things from violently coming to a head, with one Wellsian killing Governor-105 point-blank and the other trying to shoot Mandragora. Because Mandragora was carrying an explosive chemical on his person at the time, this caused an explosion which destroyed the base, killing that Wellsian and one other, as well as discorporating Mandragora. The other Cupids were unharmed, but soon discovered that the five remaining Wellsians had long since taken advantage of the distraction to make their escape.

Wandering
In their stolen ship, the Wellsians made their way to the Interdimensional Black Market. After the Wellsians' leader Radluhac formulated a scheme to take ownership of a new planet, Forga was sent to the Interdimensional Hotel, Hilbert's. He learned that Sylvester Shoebill intended to bring the Crystal of Thrash to the Queen of the Black Market and registered the room directly below hers before disguising himself as a waiter and poisoning her food. That way, the Queen would be unable to recover the jewel, and Forga could take ownership of it when (as per the Hotel's peculiar setup) all guests moved up one floor, meaning he would get her room.
The plan did not quite go according to plan due to the presence of Wendy VII, Pythagoras-858 and Jenny Everywhere. However, Forga still managed to make off with the Crystal: due to time distortions, it transpired that he had actually come across a version of Pythagoras from his relative future. Knowing (in his home time) that the Wellsians had long ago made Thrash their new home-world, Pythe was unwilling to stop Forga for fear of creating a paradox. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel)
Later events
Having acquired a new planet, the Wellsians began resurrecting some of their old traditions. As they prepared to celebrate their first Allac-Ur, they received Darius's invitation to the Land of Manik, Forga agreed to come along. After matters resolved themselves, the Wellsians went home with their chosen share of the Frost King's treasure, namely a bell which served as the perfect finishing touch to their Allac-Ur festivities. (PROSE: The Frost King's Treasure)
The Wellsians were among the groups who bid for the venom of the Wyrm of Loki when the Prime Universe's Sigyn decided to auction it off. Forga sog-Fogos was the one sent to Loki's cavern to actually negotiate, being magically summoned there by Sigyn along with many other biddgers. Like the other bidders, Forga dissipated like smoke, sent back to his dimension, after Tero Trollgarsson rendered the auction moot by drinking all the venom, leading Sigyn to interrupt the spell.
