Azonne Le

Born on the planet Ganlomb, Azonne Le befriended an inky black creature as a child. This creature, it turned out, was the Nameless. Thinking this meant something, D'Grav asserted that Azonne was her successor for the Cyntaff and began training her for the task.
Eventually, Azonne inherited the golden rings and played her part in service to the Balance.
It didn't go well.
Faced with the corruption appearing on her homeworld, Azonne perceived a memory from one of her predecessors, of a human man known as Captain Steel, that could help her in her struggles.
This brought her to Izanami, where she learned that she had been corrupted since she was a child and had been seeding unsuspecting planets as she served.
It is here where Azonne meets Roxanne, her next successor. Though now dead physically, her memories and emotions live on through The First.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
The Balance
Before the big bang was endless darkness. A sentient mass that fed and grew without equal.
But then came light.
The Balance is the status quo. It is the conveyor belt of life. Darkness and light struggle against one another, but none ever becomes stronger than the other.
On one side is the Cyntaff, weapons that held power birthed during the big bang, aka the dawn of time.
On the other was the darkness; now known as the Nameless; forced into a role, it must play.
The First
The First was born at the dawn of time; excess energies created during the big bang coalesced into this sentient form. From there is battled the Nameless as part of The Balance.
It became mortally wounded at some point but had already set in motion a means to a means of inheritance: The Cyntaff.
Placed inside them, The First has acted as a companion and guide to whoever wears the bands.
The Nameless

Before there was anything, there was only darkness.
With the coming of light came the shackles and a different purpose.
The Nameless is sentient hate and pain and terror. It corrupts those under its influence, turning them into violent monsters that fight and fight until all are dead; after that is the feeding, where its mass will spread and devour all organic matter.
Until recent events, the Nameless never fully or partially bonded with organic hosts. It dabbled at this with Azonne Le, befriending her as a child. It led to her eventual death and a break in the Balance.
It later fully bonds with Wes Gibson; now the Balance is indeed destroyed and, potentially, it as well.
