Forgotten One

Forgotten One's History

Early life

Befitting his name, the identity and origins of the Forgotten One are a complete mystery. Whether he was once an angel like Satan, one of the Old Gods, or something entirely different is unknown. What is known is that he was the sovereign of the elemental Plane of Darkness and was summoned by the ancestors of the Bernhard Family thousands of years ago.

The demon was, at the time, the single most powerful entity ever encountered by mankind, surpassing even the Devil, Satan himself. With this power, the monster easily shook off the control of the summoners who brought him to Earth, before setting his sights on nothing short of the destruction of the entire world and every living thing in it.

The three founders of the monster-hunting organization known as the Brotherhood of Light –Cornell, Carmilla and Zobek– stood in its path to defend mankind, but though they were among the mightiest warriors and spellcasters the Brotherhood would ever know, as well as the greatest champions of the light, even with their strength combined, the founders discovered that even they couldn't hope to destroy him.

With this in mind, the three of them put their power to another use, and instead of fighting him, they returned to the summoning chamber in the heart of Bernhard Castle, where they re-opened the portal to the Plane of Darkness and managed to force the monster back through it and then sealed it shut with an immensely powerful spell tied directly into the life force of the three founders, trapping him in his home dimension.

Because the seal was tied into the life force of Cornell, Carmilla and Zobek, and would fade and break if they died, it was this event which encouraged them to use the God Mask to try and become immortal beings of good, accidentally creating the evil Lords of Shadow at the same time. However, even though a great evil was unleashed upon the world, with the Lords of Shadow being immortal, it still served to trap the demon in the Shadow Realm for many centuries, so long that the only name the monster was known by in the mortal realm was the "Forgotten One".

Meanwhile, as the centuries passed, the demon bode his time within his home realm in the Plane of Darkness, impatiently waiting for his chance to return and avenge his suffering on all of Humanity.
