Biography[]
Aztar[]
At the beginning of the universe was the entity known as the Presence. The Presence was so great in scope, even aspects of his self were entities onto himself; His wrath was known as Eclipso, His mercy was known as the Radiant and His vengeance was known as Aztar, the Spectre. A mere three seconds after creation, Lucifer Morningstar rebelled against the Presence but the Presence defeated him and cast him into Hell. These renegade angels transformed over time and became creatures known as demons, including one named Aztar.
