HISTORY

Before even Lucifer or any fallen angels came to Hell, the being known as the First of the Fallen was its ruler. Originally created as a companion for God, the First opposed the Creator's idea to create a race with instinct and free will. God then cast the First from Heaven to Hell, where he became the sole inhabitant and ruler. However, when Lucifer and his minions later plunged down to Hell, the First found himself deposed from the throne. Though extremely powerful, the First was but a lightweight compared to Lucifer, and not before Lucifer's recent abdication, the First of the Fallen actually became a force to be reckoned with again. Originally, he formed a second [[Triumvirate of Hell]|Triumvirate]] with his two 'brothers', but after he learned that they were not of his kind (i.e. of the Fallen), he slew them, transforming them into a two-headed knife. He has an eternal enemy in John Constantine, who has tricked him repeatedly and whom he now sees as his ultimate nemesis.
