True History What can I say? I'm a mysterious guy. ~Infernum Like the rest of the known Great Beings, I more or less transcend any recorded histories. Yeah, I'm that awesome. This handsome rogue had a profound desire to create new life though I'm not all that good at doing so. My area of expertise was the alteration of extraterrestrial lifeforms. I've actually made comparatively few creations compared to my more adept peers. To be honest, my one primary creation was a maximum-security prison, named after yours truly. Though it was the Order of Mata Nui who built it, it was in fact I who planted the idea and blueprints in one of the Order's engineers. But hey. I also made one other notable "creation": the Fiend. More will be described about them in another file. I'm not too proud of them... but still. Eventually, since I failed to successfully create new life, the other Beings have entrusted me with a more gruesome, but no less important, task. While the the other Great Beings worked to fill the Universe with diverse lifeforms, I would be there to "clean up" after them. I regulate the deaths of the Beings' creations as well as the disposal of any failed creations. For this reason, I've has been referred to as "the god of the dead". It's an odd name, true, but rather fitting. I didn't remove the Baterra or the Zyglak, just to name a few among others, as they were created prior to the gaining of my powers over death. Over time, my duties have expanded tremendously, until I was responsible for nearly all the deaths of sentient beings. Each life would be ferried by me until whatever was out there. Don't ask me what's beyond death, even I do not know. As my life continued, I soon noticed my power began to wane. Terrible feeling, let me tell you. The other Great Beings ddin't have a clue for why one of their brethren is suddenly weakening. Apparently, governing over death wasn't a walk in the park. As such, I needed to find a replacement before I lost all my power. Implosions and spatial rends, you know? That sort of thing. In an attempt to find ideas, I grafted part of my consciousness to the Prison so I could wander around Spherus Magna. Doing so permanently forced me to remain on the planet, but see here. I was running out of ideas and I was going to die anyway. One day, I was approached by a wandering Toa of Light. This Toa said he had a solution to everything. I should just hold a contest, a deathmatch, to see who should replace me. I actually hit the fellow. I've killed enough in my lifetime, it's been more than enough for me. The Toa of Light was crafty. He explained that if I put a Fiend in there, giving one of my failed creations the chance of a lifetime would atone for my mistakes. It would, right? Right? And so it began. My story continues in Madness: Gensis.
