Herobrine/History

Steve was an unassuming miner in Gravehold, a town known for its fanatical hatred of magic. He was arrested after defending his wife and child from robbers and accidentally revealing his lightning powers. About to be executed, Steve lost control and wiped out Gravehold's leading soldiers before passing out. Horrified by his actions, Steve fled the next morning but found his wife's body hanging from a noose; despite her innocence, Gravehold had hanged her. In revenge, Steve decimated the whole village and turned the people into his undead soldiers. 
Reincarnated as Herobrine, a ruthless and misanthropic undead lord, he waged war on all humans for 14 years. The spent their nights terrorizing villages and their days hiding from the sun in caves. They began to target the west snow biomes, as the cold climate ensured they would not burn in sunlight. Herobrine partnered with the and struggled to secure control of Glacierford, a village he turned into a strategic stronghold. The assassination of the Nether's nobility shattered the Nether, leaving Herobrine with no allies.
The , formed to protect the snow biomes from zombies, is led by Patrick, one of the few surviving soldiers of Gravehold. Herobrine gave him his scar. Uniting with the , the Frostbourne staged an ambush on Herobrine, who got decapitated by the Ender Matriarch. The war was over.
Herobrine was one of the most powerful and influential figures in the history of the Overworld. His war brought humanity to the brink of extinction and involved all three dimensions. He inspired an even greater interdimensional war, one started by King Naeus of the Nether. Naeus obtained and perfected Herobrine's powers and viewed the Nether's war as a continuation of the one Herobrine fought. Herobrine's daughter, Abigail Crysteffor, survived Gravehold to become the future Nether Princess and leader of a rebellion against Naeus.

==Undead reign ==
Steve became known as Herobrine, a merciless, misanthropic undead lord. Driven by rage and revenge, Herobrine declared war on all humans and united the Undead under one banner. The last years of this war are seen in season one ("Herobrine's Revenge").

Discord. the terrorized the villages at night and retreated underground when the sun rose."The Struggle". The caves where Steve once eked out a living, where he spent time with his family, now served as Herobrine's refuge. Cave systems extend across the Overworld, giving Herobrine's army unmatched access to the continent; they could attack in any place on any night. Humanity was slowly driven to near-extinction; the hardened survivors built walled cities to protect themselves, while the rest became part of the Undead.

====The Struggle====
Herobrine made his debut in The Struggle on his conquest for the Overworld. He would attack Glacierford, immediately killing all members, including Kyle, whilst challenging him to a duel. Kyle charged valiantly at Herobrine, adamant at holding him back and protecting his home, but was only successful in landing only a few hits before he was killed. 
The Undead King would pursue the survivors - including his unaware daughter, Abigail Crysteffor, through the Frostbourne Tundra. He would catch up to them at nightfall, personally killing Zach before dueling Rain. However, Herobrine would not succeed in killing the boy directly, retreating to allow his own forces to kill both Rain and his own daughter.
====We Are the Danger====
Months after the fall of Glacierford, Herobrine was advised by Blackbone that fighting the - alliance was an ill-fated plan, to which he orders him to "send a raven to the Pig King" in hopes of turning the tides of the battle. As Glacierford succumb to the alliance's raid, Herobrine met with the 's leaders to propose an alliance: Glutton, Scorch and a revived Abigail. 
The Horde were able to drive off the surviving Frostbourne, including Rain and his dragon, much to the Undead King's satisfaction. 
====Goodbye====
A week or two after the Battle for Glacierford, Ser Patrick and the bandits would attack the Wither Camp, drawing out Herobrine with some reinforcement. He would engage Patrick in a duel, succeeding in defeating him, impaling him and beating him to the verge of death. However, before he could kill Patrick, Lady Azura and Stella arrived from the End with the Watchers, coming to Patrick's aid. Ceris herself would fight off Herobrine, decapitating him after a brief battle and ending his reign.

thumb|Ceris decapitating Herobrine in Goodbye.Herobrine was one of the most powerful and influential figures in the history of the Overworld. His 14–year war, described by Patrick as an undead 'reign', brought humanity to the brink of extinction. It was fought in the Overworld but provoked the involvement of the Nether and the End's rules, a very rare feat. 
The destruction Herobrine caused to his dimensions is rivalled only by the destruction it inspired. A pigman scout found Herobrine's severed head; the Wither Clan took it from the pigmen and their leader, Naeus, used it to obtain and gradually strengthen Herobrine's lightning powers.
Herobrine's fall would cause the complete collapse of the , with all Undead Lords going their separate ways.
The Nether Civil War would bring two factions to Herobrine's death place in search for his power; the Wither Clan and the False Pig King Loyalists. Although the Loyalists retrieved his head, Naeus and the Wither Clan would ultimately seize it from them, allowing the future Nether King to take his power for himself.
