Idvus Azarant has accomplished many great things, but is best known as the famed demigod who brought back The Old Gods and conquered The New. Yet before he began to touch divinity, Idvus Azarant was a mortal much like any other, albeit far more powerful than most. His quarter Fae heritage gave him a unique and rare talent for traveling the different planes and realms of the universe, and with the help of The Old Gods he mastered this ability and became a true planeswalker.

He wandered the far reaches of the universe for years as he gathered allies and strength for his crusade against The New Gods, and learned much about the boundaries of the universe itself at the same time. At the same time, he became adept and powerful in the magics of The Old Gods under their training and guidance. He favored those of The Twin Serpents, and mastered the control of time and space, the foundation of the entire universe and what separates it from the void.

After his first initial victories against the champions of The New Gods, he started to seek out their stronger and more important servants. He was overconfident, and underestimated his enemies. He went after a king, favored by the Gods of Light, who had more power and more resources than those he'd hunted before. He confronted the king at the seat of his power, within the king's own throne room. Idvus slaughtered the royal guards, but the king and his closest allies proved to be too much for the hero. They struck him down with enchanted weapons as old as they were legendary, and destroyed his very soul, a true death. They never even saw him as a threat, and his remains were simply tossed beneath the king's palace, falling to the sewers and catacombs that run under the surface.

With true death, Idvus could pass on to no afterlife, nor could he wander the astral plane as a spirit. He came to rest in the void beyond the universe, where it did not matter that he had neither soul nor body. Most would quickly lose consciousness and fade out of being, but Idvus's will held strong and he would not give in. He had seen the edges of the universe in his travels and not only knew but had mastered that which let the universe exist separate from the void. He experienced an enlightenment of sorts, and gained power over the void itself, tied to his very being, forever separating him from the normal rules of the universe. With all of the greatest powers he had, he forced his way back into being. It took both his mastery over time and space and his experience crossing the boundaries of the universe as a planeswalker to not only undo his own true death but to bring himself back to the universe as well.

While Idvus escaped the void, his body resided in the undercity of the world that resides beneath all major cities. Even after his death, his corpse retained his strength. A powerful necromancer took his body to raise a deadly servant, but instead he provided Idvus with an opportunity to reenter the world with his own body and fragmented soul. His original body had become weakened, and decayed, and he was no longer even truly alive, having become some form of undead being. He struck a deal with the necromancer, and in return for Idvus taking him to the city the hero ruled and providing him resources and freedom to practice his craft, he would use his knowledge and magic to help Idvus build a new body. As a necromancer, he had not only the forbidden magic to do this, but the knowledge of anatomy and science as well, and little help was needed.

The base of Idvus' new body was grown magically from the flesh of his corpse, but lacked a soul or mind and was kept alive only with advanced magic. It was augmented with parts from some of the greatest living creatures in the universe. It was given bone marrow and blood from ancient trolls to give him their incredible regeneration and healing. The stomach of a young mountain wyrm, known for its ability to consume and digest almost anything. The heart of a dragon, which grants them their magical prowess. The so-called all-seeing eyes of a daeva. The bones of titans, stronger than the strongest steel. Even the wings of a reaper, said to let them fly not only through the air but between the various worlds of the living and the dead as well. He enchanted this new body, tattooed runes on its skin and carved them into its bones.

Before taking the body as his own, The Old Gods themselves granted him a gift and made its final changes. Each god let a small amount of their blood run through its veins, and left their own personal touches as well. The Twin Serpents left a marking, an image of themselves on its skin that twisted and wrapped around the body that would let him summon phantasmal serpents to use as weapons with power over time and space to augment his own. The Three Fates gave his body the ability to shift between its current form and some of the forms it had in alternate timelines that they saw, primarily a more mundane looking form that would blend in better with others and a much less mundane form that is more dramatically augmented for battle. The Mother and The Father together enhanced the body so that it became its own new race, and even allowed him to give his followers the option to become a lesser version of this new race as well. The First, Second, and Third Children allowed the body to give him a better understanding and control over his mind, strengthening his instincts, his ability to manage emotions, and his reasoning skills.

When he'd finally taken up his new body, Idvus had truly returned. He was indisputably alive, having come back from a true death, and risen to even greater power. There could no longer be any argument that he wasn't really alive or was still a dead man. He was the first voidstrider, a planeswalker who could not only cross between the planes and realms of the universe but could step into even the void and come back unharmed. He became known as The Revenant, a demigod with divine blood who had returned from dead, and went on to defeat The New Gods and herald in the new era under The Old Gods. Even now, Idvus grows in power, reaching further and further from where he began. Rumors say that he will one day become a god himself, that he will ascend to divinity by his own power, and that the world will soon know a god of the void.
