## History

Teth was born in ancient Egypt in a city called Kahndaq, he wasn't born to wealth or fame but a slave family, he worked consistently trying to provide what little he could for his family. As he worked he watched Pharo after Pharo come and go, and with each new false leader the great Nation of Kandaq became more and more corrupt, more weak. The once proud nation had to submit to the will of others, cutting deals to survive and allowing outside nations to govern and influence Kahndaq. Knowing there was next to nothing he could, Teth lived on dealing with the cruelty of those above him.

One night on the way home some outside nations guards found him, he was out past curfew and the guards were bored so they took there chance of entertainment out on Teth, they beat him within an inch of his life and would have killed him if not for his nephew, but the young boy attacked a guard and he would suffer the same fate as Teth, but the distraction was enough for Adam to tack one of there swords and plunge it through a guards heart, with one guard in shock Teth used that to his advantage as he quickly cut his head off in one quick and clean stroke, yet the damage from the guards was already done and the slave collapsed to the sandy floor coughing up blood. As his nephew tried to help something happen, time froze and a bolt of lightning came down striking them both, suddenly they were somewhere else and an old man sat on a throne before him. Everything was buzzing and it was difficult for Adam to hear but suddenly two more bolts of lightning came down and he was healed, better then heeled. Teth suddenly felt a surge of power rush through his body, when he looked over his Nephew seemed to have changed as well, they both had this power. Once the Wizard finished explaining the gifts they were given, one more large bolt of lightning came down and Suddenly they were back in the streets, they both said the magic word and were reverted back to normal. The two woke up the next morning, Teth believed it had all been a dream but when he went to the place he served at Teth was quickly restrained, put in chains and forced to his knees, as the lashes peeled the skin from his back he learnt that last night was no dream, it was real, and just before the next lash would land on his skin the bloodied slave shouted. “SHAZAM”

A bolt of lightning Crashed down on the slave, it sent the guards flying and shattered the chains around him, he quickly moved and dispatched the guards, he was in a rage. His nephew saw this and tried to stop him but his emotions got in the way and he was defeated by his uncle. Consumed with revenge and rage he forced his nephew to give up his powers and Teth took it.

Using his new found power he tore through Kahndaq ridding it of forn influence without mercy, he murdered the Pharaoh and ruled his nation with an iron fist, wars were waged and he fought them.

After a year of this the Wizard realized that Teth would not stop, and he imprisoned Black Adam deep under Kahndaq where he has been sleeping for a very very very long time, until now...
