Early Life
In 1973, 008 was born the child of two scientists of the now defunct United States Hospital For Scientific Achievment. Even as an infant, he was exposed to training for his ascenion. He recieved extensive radiation and arachnid therapy to give him the keen strength and control over arachnids. Due to the arachnid's connection to the nearby Morbleite Stella Octangula, he would often pass out from pain and exhaustion during his experimentation. Here, he would be confronted by The Goddess, Flos Vitae Deam.
Flos would impart 008 with wisdom, showing him a world beyond his own existence. She would take a liking to 008, a motherly instinct which his own, cold and calculated parents lacked.
Soon, 008 was selected for the USHSHA's latest iniative, known formally as The Black Rainbow. The program sought to achieve true invisbility, including invisibility from the forces of nature. Here, he was further irradiated, before being prolonged to bacteria extracted from The Starmarrow, and finally, the Octahedral/The Stella Octangula.
The pain 008 faced was so excruciating that he would call upon his goddess of light and life, Flos, and beg for a release. Disgusted by humanity's attempts to cheat death, She curses the scientists each scientist to die at the hands of their greatest creation, and gave 008 new purposes as the Celestial Shepard. 008's body was transformed into a vessel for the will of the goddess.
Victim 1 - Helena Borkoshavski
008 would be stowed away for a year within a large cabin at the Hospital. At age 12, he would meet Ala Capulo, and fall sickeningly in love with him. The two would adventure into the attic of the home, where they would discover the mummified corpse of Adam Rostenkowski. At the age of 15, he would escape from Italy alongside a small group of close friends, all of whom would die. Here, he would recieve horrible visions of a world set ablaze. 008 would soon be reunited with the love of his life, Ala, where he would later move in with the couple. 008 struggled with readjusting to modern life. Haunted by visions of the end of days, of the Earth on fire, of a serpentine devil finding a fleshy host. It was in 1993 that he recognized the face behind the cataclysm! It was the face of Ala's wife, Helena Borkoshavski. 008 would kill Helena, planning to kidnap their son (the byproduct of abject good and abject evil in the universe) and raise him as his own. 008's plan to raise Icarus was foiled by the arrival of Vincent Rostenkowski/Starman, who had been summoned by a phonecall from Ala, who had heard the enusing ruckus. 008 would escape into the night.
It was as 008 was killed that he realized that there were seven beings who, had they been allowed to live, would bring about the end of days.
Victim 2 - Leonardo DiCaprio
008 would spend the next three years of his life embarking on a pilgrimage from Vermont to Hollywood, where he would sabatoge the film "Twilight of the Olympians." 008 was incredibly disgusted by the film's bastardization of Ala's character, channeling his hate into Ala's actor, Leonardo DiCaprio He would sabatoge his jetpack, both in blind rage, but also in cold calculation. He believed that the film's director had been overtaken by Rodentia, one of the four hosemen of the apocalypse, and that the film was an attempt at mass brainwashing of the populous. The incident also exposed 008 to the idea of Doorways, another phenomena adjacent to Apophis.
Victim 3 - Ember Johnson
008 would follow the trail of Rodentia back to rural Arkansas, particularly, to Ember Johnson. Rodentia had selected Ember due to her already vulnerable mind, choosing to take advantage of it, viewing her merely as a temporary host before she found a greater mind to exploit. 008 would kill her, only to find that Rodentia had already found itself a new host: Marianna Cross.
Victim 4 - Himself
008 would go on to set his sights on Marianna, though Marianna was already a vicious and brutal creature, even without Rodentia's suggestions. 008 would return to Mary's home, the Borkoshavski Academy, and attempt to kill her. However, 008's attack would be intercepted, and 008 would turn up dead. Active members of the church within the Borkoshavski Academy would witness the act, and view 008's deaths- same as the deaths of Helena, Leonardo, and Ember, as neccesary. 008's corpse would be turned into the RA Foundation, where it would be used for heavy experimentation, before being cremated. As per his wishes, 008's ashes remain in the posession of longtime associate, Brutus Martinez.
As of 2006, scholars within the Church of the Octahedral are working on deciphiring 008's writings, and to figure out just who the final three victims must be.
