The **Cosmic Entity** is a mysterious being who lives in and controls the Empty, a place of nothingness predating God, Death and the Darkness.

## History

### Background

The entity controls The Empty and he explained to Nathaniel that the Empty existed before God or the Darkness. When angels and demons die, they go to the Empty where they eternally slumber, allowing the entity to do the same. If even one of its charges is awake, the entity is awoken as well until the awakened being is asleep again or out of the Empty.

### Season 2

After the Seraph Nathaniel is awakened by Sarah's telepathic call, the entity is awakened again. It arose in the form of a pool of dark liquid inside the Empty after Nathaniel walked by before taking on a vague humanoid form. The Entity followed Nathaniel as he made his way through the Empty, though he sensed the entity's presence and called out to it. The entity took on Nathaniel's form to communicate with him directly, though it spoke with a distinct voice and accent. The entity identified itself as "just your friendly, neighborhood cosmic entity" and stated that it has taken on Nathaniel's form as its real form is too frightening.

The entity explained to Nathaniel that the Empty is what existed before everything, including God and the Darkness and Nathaniel, was "soaking in it." The entity told Nathaniel that how every angel or demon that has ever died was in an eternal sleep inside the Empty but was confused by how Nathaniel was awake. According to the entity, "in all of forever", nothing has ever awakened inside the Empty as it mentioned its slumber being disturbed by his awakening. Nathaniel didn't know and suggested that Raziel or Hannah must have made a deal, but the entity disbelieved this and stated that only it has power over the Empty with not even God having power there. The entity then put its hand to Nathaniel's forehead and painfully went through his memories in an attempt to find out what could have woken up Nathaniel. Afterwards, the entity explained to Nathaniel, who remained in pain, what he did and that it wanted Nathaniel back to sleep. It described Nathaniel being awake as a trapped gnat that was loudly buzzing in its head as Nathaniel realized from the entity's description that him being awake was painful for the entity. This was confirmed by the entity, stating that if Nathaniel could not sleep, then the entity could not sleep as well.

The entity insisted that it likes and needs sleep, causing Nathaniel to suggest that it get rid of him by sending Nathaniel back to Earth. The entity instead suggested that it throw Nathaniel so deep into the Empty that he could not bother it anymore, but Nathaniel recognized that the entity was bluffing. Nathaniel challenged that the entity's plan would not work as the entity would have already done it. The entity acknowledged that Nathaniel was right, but refused to send him back, telling Nathaniel that "it's not part of the deal." The entity stated that it has gone through all of Nathaniel's mind and knew everything there is about him and claimed that there was nothing back on Earth for Nathaniel. The entity grasped Nathaniel's head and painfully showed Nathaniel visions of Lilith, his death at the hands of Uriel, him killing angels and him saying his goodbyes to Lisa. The entity struck down Nathaniel, attempting to convince Nathaniel that he was worthless so he would return to sleep. However, Nathaniel refused the entity's demands and declared that no matter what the entity does, he will fight it for eternity if he was not released. The entity angrily denied Nathaniel's demands as Nathaniel continued to demand for his release from the realm, staring down the entity while making his statement.

Nathaniel later awakened in a meadow on Earth and realized that the entity has resurrected him as Nathaniel demanded.

## Personality

The Entity was shown to have a sarcastic manner as shown in its meeting with Nathaniel. It showed frustration at its failures to break his spirit in an attempt to get him to give up on wanting to live again to get him to return to his slumber.

When this didn't work, it attacked him out of frustration and called him worthless, which proved unsuccessful. The entity was very angry at Nathaniel's defiant attitude but finally complied in annoyance, to resurrect Nathaniel to be able to return to its slumber. This shows that the entity is somewhat impatient.

## Powers and Abilities

Being the supreme ruler of the Empty, the entity possesses immeasurable supernatural power, allowing it to do almost anything it wishes within its own realm.

* **Nigh-Omnipotence (within the Empty)** - The Entity has the power to do practically anything and has complete control over the Empty. The entity claims that not even God has strings on the Empty and all within it. However, the entity lacks the ability to force something that has awakened in the Empty back to sleep and must either convince them to return to sleep on their own or expel them.
* **Nigh-Omniscience** - It knows about the world and what happened before its creation. Despite this, even it couldn't figure out why Nathaniel had awoken in what it considers *all of forever*.
* **Shapeshifting** - Due to its true form being too terrifying or maddening for anything's eyes, the entity can take on the form of the being it is speaking to, though it speaks with a distinct voice instead of mimicking the being's voice.
* **Super Strength** - The Entity was able to effortlessly overpower Nathaniel.
* **Telepathy** - In order to learn more about Nathaniel, the entity painfully dug through his memories. The entity later used this power to show him some of his most painful memories in an effort to convince Nathaniel that he was worthless and should go back to sleep.
* **Resurrection** - The entity was able to resurrect Nathaniel, returning him to Earth in the process.
* **Highly Advanced Reality Warping** - The cosmic entity is able to create matter out of nothing as it fully rebuilt Nathaniel's vessel, which was previously burned and destroyed with no visible damage leftover.

## Weaknesses

Although it is the ruler of the Empty, it has a few weaknesses as well.

* **Awakening of The Empty Inhabitants** - As long as the inhabitants of the Empty sleep, so does the entity itself. However, if even a single inhabitant is awake, it also wakes up the entity from its sleep. Furthermore, having waking inhabitants in the Empty causes it pain.
* **Sleep Deprivation** - Being in deep slumber since before all existence, the entity can be severely disturbed if it cannot rest. Nathaniel claimed, while he cannot beat the entity, he can stay awake to lay pressure to it.
