Thanos

Thanos was a 'Divergent' [[[Eternal]]], an evolutionary wildcard and an unexpected product of [[[Celestial]]] breeding programs. He was born on Saturn's moon of Titan and dwelt in their colony of [[[Titanos]]] for thousands of years. Nearly 750,000 years ago, Thanos was exiled from his home for high crimes and atrocities. He returned at the head of an army and virtually annihilated his existing relatives. Only a hundred Eternals survived before Thanos' army was routed.

Of the bounty of the universe, Thanos sought only two things: absolute dominion over all life and the affections of [[[Endless Death|Death]]]. He engaged in warfare and cunning political schemes that spanned millennia. If a particularly potent item he desired was held too closely by some foreign agent or species, Thanos would simply bide his time until they inevitably died or collapsed under their own weight. In time he amassed a mighty army of sycophantic followers and potent subordinates.

Some 500,000 years ago, Thanos attempted to replicate the research of the early [[[Oa|Oans]]] and pierce the veil of reality to subvert the creation of the entire universe. For his arrogance he was rebuked by and his access to the [[[Power Cosmic]]] vastly limited. He turned to military conquest after that and frequently clashed with the [[[Skrulls]]], [[[Kree]]], [[[Oa]]], and other spacefaring civilizations. He contributed to the rise of the [[[Citadel]]] and the collapse of the [[[Tamaranean Empire]]].
