Hellions #6 cover star?

Anybody have any info on the Hive-looking dude on the front of both Hellions main cover and variant? Key Collector suggests it’s the “1st team appearance of the Locus Vile”, can’t find anything else.

Haven’t seen it discussed here, but I might have missed it!

Copies are disappearing quick here in the UK.


His name is Tarn the Uncaring. Edit, I think he’s Amenthian (?)
