Erebus

**Erebus, King of Demons,** was a powerful entity who sought to recreate the universe in his own image. Found floating in the Baresit System by the Celestials, he was raised among them, and did not know his true heritage until he was much older. Feeling that he'd been lied to, he began to lash out, especially when he found out that he would never be able to ascend to the true power of his Mother and Grandfather. Broken by the deceit and mistreatment he suffered throughout his upbringing, Erebus killed his adoptive mother, and waged a war against Heaven. Cast out by the Lord Bahamut, Erebus would seethe for eons, rebuilding his armies, and planning for his return.

In the 21st Century, his re-emergence would trigger the Convergence, and the nearly complete destruction of the Celestials. For over a decade afterwards, he would continue to plot and strike against the MVSF and humanity, until he was finally defeated.

## Early Life

Erebus's true origins are unknown. While he was first discovered in the Baresit System over 2 billion years before the Convergence, modern records indicate that he only arrived there after being forced back in time during a battle with MVSF agent Ben Foerr, indicating that he is stuck in some sort of stable time loop, and is a paradox.

Regardless, Erebus was found by the Celestial Persephone, daughter of the High God Bahamut, and brought back to Haven to be raised and rehabilitated. With no memory of who he was, and regressed to a weak, childlike form, Erebus lived most of his life under the impression that he was a Celestial. On one fateful day, however, during a game of D&D with fellow Celestial children Pete, Dragon, and Kitsune, Erebus discovered that he was not truly one of them. Initially keeping his knowledge of this a secret, further mistreatment from his peers and indifference from his grandfather created a deep seeded resentment of all of Haven.

## The God War

This came to a head when Erebus, now a young adult, confronted Bahamut and Persphone about his true heritage. While his mother assured him that he would always be one of them, Bahamut refused to grant Erebus a place within the hierarchy of Haven, both denying him his chance to eventually rule, and taking away his right to create worlds of his own. In a fury, Erebus struck out at the High God, unintentionally killing his mother when she moved to stop him. Horrified and furious beyond measure, Erebus sword to burn Haven to the ground, and fled.

Officially a renegade, Erebus worked in secret to rally several like-minded Celestials to his cause, creating an army with which to dethrone his grandfather. Much of Haven's society proceeded at a slow, peaceful pace, so when Erebus's cult first struck, they were ill prepared for a proper conflict.

The God War swept through all of Celestial space and onto the surface of many worlds in the Sol System, where Bahamut's favorite world Earth, was located. Many Celestials died on both sides, though the Cult's numbers continued to grow due, in part, to Erebus bolstering his forces with Thralls and Demons created from his own essence.

Erebus's victory was not to be, however; though he was able to slay Cerberus, Haven's most powerful warrior, Bahamut's arrival onto the field of battle decimated what was left of his army. Cursing his Grandfather one final time, Erebus swore that he would have his revenge. He was then banished into an empty universe, with no means of returning. Haven believed this was the end of the rebellion.

## Revenge

Erebus would not be defeated so easily. While trapped in this new universe, Erebus and his surviving lieutenants still retained the majority of their powers, and began to plan for their return. Erebus quickly enslaved and/or destroyed the inhabitants of the universe he was trapped in, transforming Universe Ikisat 1320Z into his personal realm and stronghold. At the same time, a rift torn into their universe by the Tetra Syndicate gave the cult and opportunity to escape, the leader of the syndicate offering to help provide them with travel across the multiverse in exchange for his life.

While the cult made preparations for their return, Erebus have developed a new plan. Not only would he take his revenge on the Celestials and their paradise, he secretly desired to destroy the entire omniverse, resetting it back to nothing so he could create a new world from the ground up: the ultimate act of retribution.
