Makkari

*"I hated seeing humans destroying their own culture and knowledge."*
―Makkari to Sprite[src]
**Makkari** is a member of a community of the genetically-engineered Eternals, created at the World Forge by the Celestials, who came to Earth in 5,000 B.C. to help progress Earth's societal development and protect it from the Deviants. In Ancient Mesopotamia, she developed an affinity towards Druig and the Humans alike. In 1521 A.D., after completing her prime goal of defeating the Deviants, she and the other Eternals decided to disband and separate. Makkari decided to relocate to the *Domo*, buried under Iraq, where she started her goal to explore the Earth and collect various objects and artifacts.

In the wake of the Blip, Makkari was summoned by Sersi to rejoin the Eternals to stop the Emergence. After stopping Tiamut the Communicator from emerging and destroying Earth, and the sudden disappearance of Sersi, Phastos and Kingo, Makkari and the remaining Eternals were greeted by Starfox and Pip the Troll as a glimmer of hope.

## Biography

### Creation

Makkari was built and programmed by Arishem the Judge, and presumably was sent to multiple planets to protect and help evolve sentient life forms from the Deviants, powering a Celestial seed inside the planet, which would absorb the energy made from the sentient lifeforms. Eventually, the Emergence would occur, destroying the planet in the process. Upon finishing their mission, the Eternals would be sent back to the World Forge to have their memories erased and reset.

### Protecting Humans

#### Arriving on Earth

*"We're Eternals. We came here from Olympia, seven thousand years ago, to protect humans from the Deviants."*
―Sersi

Makkari alongside the rest of the Eternals were sent to Earth on the Domo. Once awoken, the Eternals were provided with suits to wear before arriving at the planet. Makkari, being one of the Eternal's main fighters, landed on Earth first to fight the Deviants. Makkari used her speed to get the humans to safety, as well as help defeat the creatures. When the Deviants attacking the humans were defeated, the Eternals presented themselves to the race they were assigned to protect. She taught the first humans, Sign Language.

#### Fighting the Deviants

*"I can sense vibrations. Even the tiniest movement. Including your voices when you speak."*
―Makkari[src]
Continuing to protect and assist the human population, the Eternals headed to Babylon, Mesopotamia in 575 B.C., where they fought against more Deviants. Makkari and her teammates were able to defeat a group of Deviants, protecting the city.

After the battle, a celebration was held, where Makkari came late, because she was collecting enough artifacts to trade for the Emerald Tablet. When one of the men that she was trying to negotiate tried to steal one of her artifacts, she quickly stopped him. The man said that the Emerald Tablet was a myth, and didn't exist.

When Druig controlled the mind of a group of men that were fighting, she adverted him that Ajak don't allow it, but he ironically pointed out that she was stealing artifacts. Both of them made a deal to not tell Ajak.

#### Defeating the Deviants

*"Where are the others?"
"We had to split up."*
―Ajak and Makkari[src]
While a war was taking place in Tenochtitlan, Makkari and the others defeated the last Deviants. She went to the city and saved a child from a falling monument, before meeting Thena, Ajak, Sersi, Sprite, Phastos and Druig, when men with heavy weaponry began to massacre the natives of the region. Makkari advised Druig to stay strong when he confronted Phastos about how he helped humans develop those weapons, when suddenly Thena's Mahd Wy'ry caused her to fight the others unknowingly, nearly killing Makkari in the process.

While they took Thena to lay on a pedestal and Ajak healed Makkari and the others wounds, an argument between Druig and Ajak began, resulting in Druig deserting the Eternals, and Ajak splitting up the team, telling them to go live their lives as they wanted.

#### Living in the *Domo*

 File:Eternals (film) 29.jpg
After Ajak split the Eternals, Makkari sought the rest of her days in the Domo collecting human artifacts, including books, paintings, idols and even the Excalibur and the Emerald Tablet. She spent centuries waiting to come back to her home, Olympia.

### Emergence

#### Reuniting with the Eternals

 File:Makkari and Druig.png

*"So you mean... I've been waiting for centuries to go back to Olympia, and now you're telling me... it doesn't exist?"
"That, and the world is ending."
"At last my boredom is ending."*
―Makkari and Kingo[src]
When she reunited with Druig and the other Eternals, she was seen to be reading as they walked in and was very excited and thought it was finally time to go home. She was then informed about the Emergence and was intrigued and upset by the fact that she was genetically engineered by Arishem the Judge, and that the home she wanted to return to for a long time didn't exist.

While planning what to do to stop the Emergence, Tiamut started to awake, and Phastos asked Makkari to find the exact place that he would emerge. She traveled for miles, until she found the Island that was the epicenter of the Emergence.

#### Ikaris' Betrayal

As Ikaris was revealed to be Ajak's true killer, she came back to the Domo, informing that she had found Tiamut. Ikaris then tried to kill her, but she deviated, at the same moment that Kingo protected her. He then said to her to get out of there, as she ran away from the *Domo*.

When Ikaris and Sprite left, Makkari came back. As Kingo was lefting too, she tried to make him stay, but he left anyway. After Phastos was finally able to create the devices to connect all of them in the Uni-Mind, the team suited up and prepared to battle.

#### Stopping Tiamut the Communicator

 File:Makkari vs Ikaris.png

*"We became one... even Ikaris and Sprite all because of Tiamut."*
―Makkari[src]
Makkari, Druig, and Sersi went to the ground, while Thena and Phastos stayed in the Domo, to stop Tiamut through the Uni-Mind, but Ikaris found out and blasted Druig through the ground. A devastated and rageful Makkari wailed as she saw this and sought to seek revenge for Druig, as she thought he was dead. She gained the upper-hand in fighting Ikaris, but quickly lost as her fight pattern was recognized by Ikaris and he held her by the neck and blasted her chest, wounding her.

She continued to battle him with the other Eternals, and was almost killed by the Kro but was saved by Thena. They were eventually successful in stopping Tiamut from emerging, she was shocked as to the fact that they defeated Tiamut together through the Uni-Mind and even Sprite and Ikaris ascended all because of Tiamut. She was reunited with Druig much to her surprise.

After the battle, Phastos, his family, Makkari, Thena and Druig reunited in Ajak's Homestead while watching the news on TV. When Druig questioned Makkari if the other Eternals would accept the truth as they did, she said they would, because "the truth will set them free". Thena, Makkari and Druig then boarded the Domo, to travel around the Universe finding the other Eternals and tell them everything.

### Finding Other Eternals

#### Meeting Starfox

*"Thanos' brother?"*
―Makkari to Thena[src]
While on the *Domo*, Thena, Makkari and Druig were confused as to why the other Eternals weren't communicating with them. Thena quickly realized that Arishem found out about the plan and took them, when suddenly Starfox came through the *Domo* through a portal, revealing that he was the Prince of Titan, Thanos' brother. He offered help and informed them that their friends were in danger.
