Publication History
The character first appears in the title Thanos, and is revealed to have originally been a Herald of the cosmic entity Galactus. The cosmic entity's first attempt at creating a servant, the Fallen One was empowered by dark energy as opposed to cosmic radiation. The character, however, proves to be cruel and is eventually imprisoned by Galactus. The Fallen One manages to escape and despite constant defeats, repeatedly attacks Galactus. The hero Star-Lord eventually imprisons the Fallen One in the inter-galactic prison the Kyln, although the character escapes when the Kyln is damaged in a conflict between Thanos and the entity the Maker. Although the Fallen One locates Galactus, the character is instantly teleported back to Thanos, who tricks the former Herald into igniting a gas giant, which renders him unconscious. Thanos mentally enslaves the Fallen One and forces him to serve as his Herald.
During the Annihilation storyline, the Fallen One is killed in battle by the Proemial Gods Tenebrous and Aegis. The Gods present his remains to Thanos in a gesture of contempt.
