Overview:
A powerful Holy Light human priest named Sincentius discovered Mortis' Darkness Championship Belt and inevitably released Mortismere from his entombment. Mortis was unaware of Sincentius' hidden power and tried to convert Sincentius to The Unholy Darkness as the first Unholy Mage and protector of his invaluable belt (the first horcrux). With an apprentice close at hand, Mortismere was surely unstoppable.
Dark Sincentius managed to control both Holy Light and Unholy Darkness which drove him insane with power and transformed him into a Sage becoming the Master of Mages. With every single magic ability at his disposal, Dark Sincentius became unstable and even more threatening than Mortismere.
Dark Sincentius broke from Mortismere and was hell bent on purging the world of creatures. The Dark Sincentius would act as judge, jury and executioner - eliminating the creatures during the Greco-Roman timeframe while riding his horse which earned him the name "The Dark Rider." Sincentius' favorite weapon was his twisted silver sickle from which he would cut the heads off of his victims.
Dark Sincentius' was defeated by the pure sacrifice of the first Charon Death when Sincentius discovered that the Death family were creatures and had the power to control the balance in the universe. Before Sincentius died, he used the Holy Light to imprint his essence into the Death Family DNA and prophesied that one day two twins will be borne between the darkness and the light, and that the Dark Sincentius would rise again to destroy the balance. Mortismere was present during Sincentius' demise and quickly escaped before the Death Family could find him.
In the afterlife, Charon Death was charged with the task of carrying souls of the newly deceased across the river that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead.
Temple of Death
Dark Sincentius and Lord Mortismere collectively nearly whipped out the entire creature race. However, there was 1 family which proved to be most troublesome and Sincentius even blamed the entire Death Family for the disorder on Earth.
One night, Sincentius, Mortismere and their followers, infiltrated the sacred Death Temple. The guards and family members present where killed or left to be killed. Eventually, Sincentius and Mortis reached the hall where the eldest and most powerful members of the family resided. The two elders were Charon and Brandon Xavier A'Court.
Dark Sincentius made quick work of Charon but Brandon proved to be more of a match- however, Dark Sincentius attempted to evoke the Holy Darkness and hurled it at Brandon- the ability to channel energy from Unholy Darkness for positive purposes in order to counter Brandon's Holy Darkness. The move was ineffective as Brandon stopped Sincentius with his own powers.
However, Charon made a choice, a choice which was unsettling with Brandon and would forever shame the Death Family. Charon believed that Sincentius was too powerful to control and interfered in the battle by evoking Holy Darkness. All three known forces collided together in one place- thus ripping a hole in the space/time fabric known as the Gateway to the Apocalypse. The deal with Sincentius and Charon was tampered when Brandon unleashed a final attack on Dark Sincentius and sent him flying into the Gateway.
Part of the deal, was the ability to even use Holy Darkness. Sincentius had mastery over Holy Light and Unholy Darkness but was unable to use Holy Darkness for he was unpure and tainted. Charon gave Sincentius part of his power to destroy Brandon but Brandon did not realize it until it was too late.
In effect, Sincentius' body and soul were separated in the rift because only those with balance in their heart could successfully enter the gateway. Sincentius' essence was imprinted into the Death Family's DNA as a result- starting from the connection with Charon.
Brandon vowed to hunt down Sincentius even if it took thousands of years... but before Sincentius completely evaporated from existence- he gained the gift of foresight and prophesied the coming of the Death Family twins and his re-birth.
This one event changed the Death Family forever and in effect have indirect and direct influence with many known Sagas in the Creature of The Night Universe.
Dark Sincentius and The Twins of Destiny
Charon's actions inevitably sealed his fate, his life and the lives of many others to come. After Sincentius' essence was implanted into the Death Family DNA, Charon was held for treason in a grand trial which included elders of all major Creature family lines. Sentencing was carried out, after he was found guilty on all charges, and he was to serve as the ferryman for the dead until such a time he was to name a successor. A successor had to be named from the living and this burden was carried out as a tradition for the Death Family.
Thousands of years had passed.
The Death Family's dirty little secrets kept mounting even after Sincentius and Charon. Each time a set of twins was born in the family- appropriate measures where taken to make sure that they were not the twins prophesied. This included exile and even murder-- even if the twins were not born at the last stroke of midnight- paranoia existed within the Elders circle.
Eventually, as more time passed- the prophecy became myth and even the oldest Elders were skeptical that Sincentius would ever come back.
That all changed when Spade and Serin Death were born at the last stroke of midnight! Archangel and Deaths Wind were terrified that the elders would find out that the two twins would be killed. Sincentius did not appear... but there was an odd power which existed between the two twins- the closer that they were together made this power stronger... it was believed that if Sincentius could not return for as long as the twins remained a part... so the twins where kept secret and separated through many distances.
Multiple Personalities
Spade Death was kept in the dark about his family's history and the fact that he was a Creature. The family sent Spade away and schooled in private institutions all across the United States. However, Spade would exhibit odd and random behavior around others such as growing impatient and violent. At one point, Mortismere (while possessing the body of a college professor)- finally located Spade Death and he planned to control Sincentius by bringing Spade into the Unholy Darkness.
Spade and Serin Death
Spade and Serin were borne exactly on the last stroke of midnight. This troubled the elders because they knew about the prophecy and the coming of Dark Sincentius. Mortismere quickly acted by strengthening his relationship with the Death Family and obtained their trust to get closer and closer to the two twins.
The Seeds of Evil
The Death Family purposely kept Spade in the dark about not only his family and race; but also kept him in the dark about the existence of Serin. The reason was to prevent Spade from tapping into his 'creature powers', if in case, he was the reincarnation of Dark Sincentius. Likewise, Serin was kept in the dark about his powers as well.
Mortismere achieved total trust from the Death Family and he became Spade's school teacher. Serin, on the other hand, was isolated and kept far away from Spade or Mortis. However, Mortismere strongly believed that Spade was the reincarnation of Dark Sincentius because he sensed a dark formidable power residing deep inside of Spade's body. In an attempt to direct Spade down the path of the Unholy- Mortis implied the Unholy Darkness directly into Spade during school lessons.
As the years passed, Spade became a ticking time bomb and Mortismere needed Spade to perform a horrendous act of evil to draw out The Dark Sincentius out and to also control him.
The Setup
Spade Deathen meet Julie Dorothea at the University he was attending at the age of 19. Mortismere actually was the reason for their relationship because Mortis enlisted as a University Professor to teach World History- and to also keep an eye out for Spade.
In actuality, Mortismere knew that Spade was at the right age for a relationship and the University setting (away from Death Family members) was ideal. Julie was a student of Mortis and sensed that she was a pure hearted virgin.
The plan was perfect- Mortismere knew exactly how to turn Spade to the Unholy Darkness and thus, evoke the Dark Sincentius!
Julie and Spade
Julie met Spade Death at the University she was attending. She never knew he was a creature, nether did he at the time- so they romantically got involved and were eventually approached by key members of the Death Family with their blessings to a marriage.
The Truth
Mortismere orchestrated the perfect betrayal by convincing Spade and Julie to receive the blessings of the Death Family. So when Julie and Spade traveled back to the Death Family during Spring break- Mortismere sent Spade wrong information that Damien was fluting with Julie and that he was up to no good. Weeks dragged on with back and forth information and finally Mortismere drugged Spade's oldest brother, Damien, and took over his body during a family party. Julie was seduced by Damien- controlled by Mortismere- and they had sex moments before Spade came back upstairs to his own room. Spade found them in the act! This enraged Spade and the two brothers fought and Spade nearly killed Damien.
But the Death Family urged for Spade to forgive Julie. It wasn't easy.. Spade was hurt and revengeful. Damien, on the other hand, sworn that he was not attracted to Julie and he didn't remember the sex they had.
The Death Family had to tell Spade who he was because during the fight- Spade's powers was finally realized.
Mortismere quickly stepped in and helped teach Spade about the Unholy Darkness- but did not tell the Death Family. Spade became obsessed with studying the Darkness to seek his revenge and an inner persona surfaced. Though Spade desperately loved Julie, he was heart broken and revengeful.
Turning Point
Mortismere convinced Spade that it was an 'act of human nature' why Julie cheated. Indirectly, Mortismere flooded Spade's mind with images of taking revenge over both Julie and Damien; and made Spade believe that the child she was harboring was Damien's. Mortis told Spade that in order to cleanse his soul that he needed to get rid of the child and purge Julie of her sins.
The Death Family held a grand wedding on the Death Family estate for Spade and Julie even despite the cheating going on. After the wedding ceremony, a grand bawl was conducted and Damien showed up to the party. Damien got drunk and hit Spade in the face and the two had to be torn a part... Then, Damien kissed Julie romantically in front of Spade which infuriated Spade even more.
Spade's mind was corrupted by the Unholy Darkness and he started to hear voices in his head to take revenge.
The Murder
Something vial and evil emerged from within Spade's heart-- an evil entity known mysteriously as Dark Sincentius overwhelmed Spade's emotions and body. At this time, Spade developed a multiple personality. His 'normal' self was in complete denial over Julie's cheating and acted as if they were a happy couple. However, his 'evil' self wanted Julie and Damien dead.
Then one night the Death Family held a grand ball to celebrate Spade and Julie's wedding- but Spade was going to finally confront Damien about the cheating. Spade managed to get Damien drunk and steal his DNA... Spade then used ancient arts to alter Julie's child to succumb to the darkness but instead, Julie escaped and ran for her life.
The Dark Sincentius was manipulating Spade the whole time and caused him to follow after Julie into the ancient Death Family temple in the cemetery. To Spade Death, he saw an evil force kidnapping Julie and he was in hot pursuit.
However, in truth, it was Spade that was the running after Julie. Finally, once Julie reached the Temple- Spade killed her and ripped her heart out from her body. Spade believed that the child inside of her was surely dead but before he could do more harm- Damien attacked and nearly killed Spade.
The Death Family was horrified over what happened and exiled Spade forever from the family because he proved to be mentally insane and Spade was convinced that a demon killed Julie even though, Spade was found covered in Julie's own blood.
In addition, the family also wished to keep this horrible night a secret even from Spade-- because, Elders not only found the child inside of Julie born alive but there were a set of twins born on the exact last stroke of midnight... this was foretold in the Book of Prophesies.
Mortismere's Involvement
What no one realized was that not only did Mortismere setup the affair, provoke Spade to draw out Dark Sincentius in order to kill his wife and brother- but he took the opportunity to split his soul and transfer it into the an engineered set of twins born exactly on the last stroke of midnight.
Mortis was paranoid that his plan to control Dark Sincentius needed a body that was neither good or evil but balanced. And so, when Spade killed Julie- Mortismere split his soul into two pieces into Julie's set of twins but what Mortismere didn't plan on was that after Spade killed Julie- Damien interfered and nearly destroyed Spade and the transfer was only partially successful. The other piece of Mortis soul was absorbed into Julie's wedding ring. Elders quickly hid the two twins even from Mortismere. To Mortis' knowledge, only one of the twins survived. Spade was exiled by his family and he fled the the country to pursue the 'killer.' Mortismere escaped the Death Family and hunted Spade.
Spade's Capture
It took some time but Mortismere's web of assassins found out where Spade was hiding. Hangman, Mortis' top assassin, set fire to Spade's house and killed his new wife and two sons. Mortismere acted as if he came to the rescue and 'saved' Spade from dying and it was easy to convince Spade to accept the Unholy Darkness willingly. Mortismere had succeeded.
Spade Deathen Taken
Mortismere brought Spade Deathen back to France to his Castle and told Spade that the Death Family conspired against him and funded the assassination. But as time passed on, Spade's boiling rage and tension to seek his revenge rose to such a degree that Mortismere sensed a hidden dark power that was dormant. However, the light that existed in Spade Deathen held this dark power at bay. This was the last time Spade was "whole"- for Mortismere planted the seeds of evil in Spade Deathen and schooled his new pupil with the Unholy Dark Arts. As more time passed on, the chains that kept Spade Deathen in control of his own destiny was split apart. While using the Unholy Darkness as a scalpel, Mortismere was cutting away Spade Deathen's humanity.
Seer's Perspective
Spade Deathen begged for mercy for Charon's life. Mortismere had just about enough of Spade- Mortismere wished for Charon to accept willingly and Spade's role in all of this was merely an example of what would happen if she didn't accept! After Mortismere was done etching a pentagram into Charon's back- he tortured her throughout the night in order to break her. Spade escaped his prison and sought to release Charon from her captivity- according to Seer he claims that:
"Seer followed Spade Deathen into the torture chamber and caught Spade showing her the locket with Julie/Spade's picture in it in order to boost morale/wake her up in order to flee. But then, when Seer caught them- Darkspade was provoked and killed Charon."
However, the truth: Seer tricked Spade in order to accept the Unholy Darkness willingly to save Charon. When Spade reached the torture chamber, Seer's drugs made her act violently towards Spade- and attacked him.
Seer screams out lies that Charon accepted the Unholy Darkness willingly and it was too late to save her soul. But if Spade took her place, then her soul would be cleansed as she falls into the afterlife.
Spade Deathen, indeed, accepts willingly but this meant that he would have to kill Charon to commit an act of unpure evil- so Dark Sincentius emerges and he kills "Charon." With regret over realizing that he has lost it all, The Crystal of Darkness materialized from the intense feelings- sealing Dark Sincentius within the crystal. Mortismere also shows up and is upset that Charon died but realized the power that Spade was hiding. Mortismere separates Spade into three entities with Unholy incantations in order to control his new puppet.
Darkspade lost parts of his memory (which is evident throughout many stories) and this was one of the parts he forgot- even realizing that he killed Charon. So when Seer said he killed her at the torture chamber- Spade didn't believe him.
Present day
The Dark Sincentius was always contained within Darkspade and it was the power of Sincentius which made Darkspade formidable and sought out for by Mortismere. For a long time, Darkspade was able to hold back Sincentius- but when Kefka's Baby appeared in the federation, Darkspade and his CWE Undisputed Title was in jeopardy.
During the match between Kefka's Baby and Spade- each of them tapped into their pool of power until Kefka reached his final form. Darkspade was overwhelmed. Then, the power of Dark Sincentius was evoked and turned Darkspade into a omnipotent being which matched Kefka's power head on. After the two reached a stalemate- Darkspade as The Dark Sincentius- conjured the power of the Heart of Unholy Darkness and nullified both Kefka and Spade's power to the point where they were mortals temporarily. Darkspade won the match but from that day forward- Spade realized the power which lay dormant in him and would evoke it several times after when the situation would arise.
But the risks were becoming more and more troublematic because Darkspade had a hard time controlling Dark Sincentius and the form took on too much energy. Realizing the risks- Darkspade vowed to never use Dark Sincentius unless absolutely necessary but it was too late because Dark Sincentius began to become self-conscious.
The Virus Saga
Darkspade's body and mind were becoming weaker and weaker. Eventually, after the incident with Kali Death- Charon and Darkspade united for once and Spade eventually spilled the beans on what happened that night when he killed Julie. Spade finally recalled that he saw the events through the eyes of another.
After discovering that it was Dark Sincentius who killed Julie- Charon conducted research which would finally remove Dark Sincentius from her father's body and to start piecing together the fragments of her father- however, Lord Mortismere intervened and transferred the spirit of Dark Sincentius into the body of Serin Death. With Dark Sincentius contained in another soul that was tainted by the Unholy Darkness- Dark Sincentius became an anomaly as described by Charon Death:
"…but then to reside as a living thing outside of Spade's body would require a second soul, a soul tainted by Unholy Darkness."
"You're not really part of Spade Deathen are you? You're a trick, an anomaly, oh Mortismere's good I'll give him that but he really shouldn't try and pit his wits against mine. You're only part of Darkspade not Spade Deathen. Spade Deathen is the Holy part of Spade the piece that never got marred by the Unholy. Darkspade was the result of the soul split but the problem was that Mortismere suddenly realized that Holy Darkness could zip the pieces back together given the right person with the right skills."
"And that's why he's sent you to kill me. Darkspade is close to rivalling his power but just as equally, Spade Deathen is also coming close to being re-united with his darker side."
In a nutshell, the event at the royale palace set in motion practically everything that we know of today. A chain of events one after the other for thousands of years on end. Sincentius was allowed to live through the Death Family DNA after some sort of deal was made between Charon and Sin. This deal was embarrassing to the family- shameful. A shameful act that was kept hidden except to the patriarchs and elders. The gateway that opened was the gateway to the Apocalypse but the actual mistake that Sincentius had made was unclear other than he was tainted by the Unholy Darkness; and after Sincentius realized that the present day Brand-X was in fact the priest that vowed to travel through time to stop him at no ends-- the memory scene stopped before anything else could be uncovered.
Mortismere thought he was crafty and in command of the entire situation- but it was Dark Sincentius who allowed himself to be transferred into Serin's body so he could finish what he started many thousands of years ago.
After many encounters with The Dark Sincentius and the involvement of the Arcane family in obtaining control over CW, framing Moebius and firing him so that they could place Seer in his position as a puppet- Charon, Spade and Brandon discovered the prophecy of balance and the meaning behind the Unholy Darkness, Holy Darkness and Holy Light- called, the Trinity.
Dark Sincentius' grand plan was discovered- a virus capable of world eradication of any Creature and Human being alive could be developed using the DNA strands of Charon, Serin, Darkspade and a pure blooded Vaolrixous containing the Alpha Strand. However, the problem was... there were no Vaolrixous' left... until we realize that a wrestler by the name of DOOM was in fact the last remaining Vaolrixous alive. It became apparent that DOOM's arrival in CW was not by coincidence... Richard Arcane spent years tracking down the last remaining descendant of a Vaolrixous with the help of Mortismere for this very task. In the end, Dark Sincentius was able to obtain the DNA strands of everyone and develop the deadly Alpha Virus.
However on the other hand, Charon and Darkspade were able to produce an anti-virus by conducting the same procedures that Dark Sin did in order to create the virus, but by including Brand-X's transformative Holy Darkness DNA and the DNA of Spade's dead wife, Julie (who was also a Vaolrixous).
When Dark Sincentius released the virus at Castle Mortis- everything seemed to be at a loss until Charon released the anti-virus. Dark Sincentius' plan seemed to be destroyed but he actually intended for the virus to be a distraction. Sincentius betrayed Mortismere and possessed the body of Doom so that he could open the gates of apocalypse in order to destroy the world. At the same place, Kizmat appeared and kidnapped his own children: Crimson and Harkin in order to lure Charon, Darkspade and Brand-X to the Temple of Death where the Gate of Apocalypse rested.
After using Gunther's wig as a means to break through the barrier into the ruins of the Temple of Death- Charon, Darkspade, Angel and Brand-X meet Dark Sincentius face-to-face in a challenge match on CreatureMania IX for the fate of world and the Undisputed Championship. After a brief attack- our heroes managed to bind Sincentius in the center of the glyph and with the powers of the trinity- the doorway opened but Lord Mortismere interfered and caused a disturbance making multiple vortexes appear. Kizmat, Charon and Darkspade were cut off from the rest by a flame wall.
After a lengthy battle- the barrier keeping Charon and Darkspade at bay was dissolved and Spade called upon his 2 entities: Spirit and Soul to develop 3 Dark Embraces in order to destroy Sincentius. However, Lord Mortismere conjured a Dark Embrace for himself and hurled it at Sincentius- thus separating Sin from Doom's body and sent Sin into the Gates of Apocalypse. Mortismere won the title as well... and escaped- but Crimson was abducted by EVA_CORP forces.
Sincentius was trapped inside of the rift and sealed shut.
