Skotàdi and Fos were born from Hades/the Devil appearing to a pure woman, it was prophesized that she would give birth to a demon and an angel. She avoided every male she could until Hades/Lucifer turned himself into a wolf and forcibly mated with her.

Once Skotàdi and Fos were born their lives were nothing but hell. Being immortal supernatural beings they were immune to any damage from mortal weapons. Only their own family, other spirits, and supernatural weapons could harm either of them.

Their mother was very abusive towards them, Skotàdi being the elder was extremely protective of the innocent Fos. One day their mother attempted to kill Fos, Skotàdi stopped her by biting her wrist and crushing it easily. She was tried and convicted of bringing one of the most powerful demons to life.

So, she was burned alive. Then the locals searched for Skotàdi and Fos. One group took Skotàdi and the other took Fos where they attempted to burn Skotàdi alive and drown Fos. Instead the two used their supernatural abilities to save themselves.

Skotàdi was given influence over fire and Fos was given influence over water. Skotàdi was born able to control darkness and shadows as Fos was able to control light, despite their influence of dark and light they cannot manipulate human thought.

However they can communicate with humans through thought as well as a spoken language if they choose to. Out of fury for the attempted murder of his brother, Skotàdi went into a blind fury and slaughtered the humans responsible and burned their corpses.

The two appear every now and then in history by serving a human of their choosing. Skotàdi has served Stalin before leaving him once the power got to his head, Fos has served more peaceful humans such as Gandhi.
