Summary
Zaizen Tamari, also known as the Corrupter, the Deciver, the Bringer of Death, The Reaper, and many other names, is as close to a god as any metahuman has ever reached. Tales of his evil and power are still whispered between metahumans, he is the boogie man to the gifted of the world. But he was a real man once.
He ways born in 1366 CE and when he manifested he wiped out his village and the surrounding villages, instantly killing them. Immune to death, he quickly grew in power, and learned that he could not only share this immunity with his followers, but absorb power from deaths committed in his name. He quickly built up a following of zealots, drawn to his strength, and his ability to grant immortality at will. These followers, calling themselves TheLost The Lost lead by Sever worship Zaizen as a god, and as part of their "religion" move about killing any who stand in their path.
Zaizen was not satisfied with simple mortal power, or his own impressive abilities. He gathered to him any power he could find. He captured the largest deposit of ColdSteel Cold Steel in Asia. He struck a deal with the Chang Shang Emperor Ch’ang. in China to secure souls to construct life itself, creating horrors of un-life, TheRightHand The Right Hand of Darkness, TheLeftHand The Left Hand of Darkness and Golem. In the BattleoftheBlade Battle of the Blade he stripped from the Norse their rune crafting secrets and out of those ashes crafted the evil weapon Deathblade. He captured and dominated the wise woman Ndore N'Dore, flaying the skin off her bones and tattooing cold steel runes on her to force her to foretell the future for him.
He and his Horsemen are responsible for the ThePlagues Plagues of Egypt. He also brought his strength against the Babylonians; he crushed the Northern Tribes of China; everywhere he went, death and misery followed. However, out of the ashes in his wake, he created powerful enemies. In fear of his power, Augustus tricked him into signing the tenants of the TheBrotherhood Brotherhood, which set off a chain reaction that would bring about his downfall. In his rage against Augustus, he bent all of his strength to killing the other members of the Brotherhood. This TheGreatWar Great War would result in the formation of the TheAllianceofHumanity Alliance of Humanity, the TheSocietyofSecrets Society of Secrets, the TheChosen Chosen, ParadiseLost Paradise Lost, and would eventually bring about Zaizen's downfall.
An coalition of TheChosen The Chosen, TheSocietyofSecrets Society of Secrets, TheBrotherhood Brotherhood members, TheAshari The Ashari, and the TheAllianceofHumanity Alliance of Humanity would eventually band together in 1141 BCE and bring Zaizen down in TheBattleOfContainment The Battle Of Containment. Unable to truly kill he-who-could-not-die, they split him into three pieces, trapping him in cold steel artifacts that they had built for this specific purpose. His mind they trapped in a puzzle box, his power in an orb, and his body in a cold steel coffin. In this way they imprisoned him, they hoped for all time.
His evil continued though even without his direct presence to guide it. The coalition broke down, and the Lost continued tirelessly worked towards their master's return. Thankfully the Lost were prevented from bringing Zaizen back to this world for many millenia. His threefold prison held until 2007, when a series of events unfolded which brought about his return to the mortal plane. However, thanks to the intervention of Zack Graves, Lara Cooper, Alex, Shesu Ashari, Jacob Sparrow, Abdul Mohamed, Joseph Cooper, Samantha Wyld, Golem, Gateway, Jeremy Ito, and a few others, Zaizen was at last put to rest, forever.
However, his Spark spark lives on, and no one knows where it is now...
