Erebus (AEverse)

==Summary==
Erebus is a shadow entity that was created through a maelstrom of countless lives of mortals and gods blended together into a massless, shapeless entity that has gained sentience as a result of the great cataclysm that created the Shadow Universe. The Shadow Universe were unable to reproduce the method of his creation, so they abandoned it, preferring to mirror Lore to have some semblance of control. Soon, Erebus became disgruntled and tore open a hole in the universe and escaped to Lore, seeking purpose and freedom. The first being he encountered was the Annunaki Truth who tried to merge with him, but failed and was driven mad, with Truth eventually tearing itself in two, his second half becoming Lies. Erebus entered Lore from outside of time and arrived near the former Guardian Tower at Edress Point, in Deren, where he met his closest analogue, the Mysterious Stranger. To keep himself from dying, Erebus destroyed the Mysterious Stranger with light and absorbed him, allowing for Erebus to take on the form of Seth Cay Dhows and occasionally under the alias of "Mysterious Stranger".
At some point, Erebus forced human beings to dwell in the Shadow Universes and engaged in conflict with Lord Barrius's, eventually forming a truce with Barrius himself and his Order, thinking their conflict would lead them to mutually assured destruction. Throughout history he took the identities of many individuals such as "St. Mohrred" on Arturia and manipulated a group of Network beings called the Alpha and became known as Epsilon. He made his way to Caelestia where he went under the identity of "Tholeon Webb" and managed to alter the timeline so severely that Eldron Larethian was never born by changing the very foundations of Caelestia itself. However, heroes from Caelestia's post-apocalyptic future defeated 'Webb', undoing the changes, and thus, allowing Falerin to become the God of Evil and Eldron to be born, just as it had been in the original timeline. Eventually the shadow corrupted the world, finishing the spread of undeath that the Brilhado had already started, but also instructed the Necromancer to use the Flecks to empower himself and to subjugate his reality and others.
