The Faceless Ones

==Summary==
The Faceless Ones are dark gods, that ruled the universe before the Ancients, the first magic users, banished them to another universe. They were once physical beings, but at some point prior to their banishment, the Ancients altered reality in such a way that the Faceless Ones lost their ability to have physical bodies and forced them to possess the bodies of others.
Although unable to find their way back to their original universe, the Faceless Ones were able to tear open holes to other universes, and for the next several millenia would go on a rampage throughout the multiverse, wiping entire universes clean of life, until they finally reached a universe that they could not find a way back out of, and settled there.
Repeated attempts have been made to summon the Faceless Ones back to Earth. Nefarian Serpine attempted to obtain the Book of Names so that he could gain the power to call them back. Baron Vengeous attempted to use the Grotesquery, a hybrid created from the corpse of a Faceless One and various magical beings to open a portal to their world, and although he was unsuccessful, the dying scream of the Grotesquery allowed the Faceless Ones to pinpoint the location of their original world. Finally, Batu managed to successfully open a portal to the Faceless Ones' dimension and let three of them in, who proceeded to possess him and his allies, before being killed or driven back to their dimension.
The Faceless Ones have not returned to their original universe since, but several incursions have been made to their dimension. Valkyrie Cain entered their dimension to retrieve Skulduggery Pleasant who had been trapped there. Darquesse was tricked into entering a portal to the Faceless One's dimension after believing she had wiped the universe clean of life. Finally, Sebastian Tao entered the Faceless One's dimension to find and bring Darquesse home.
