"In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. He chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. And those that tasted the bite of his sword named him..."

"𝗧 𝗛 𝗘 𝗦 𝗟 𝗔 𝗬 𝗘 𝗥"

That name alone is enough to send a chill down anyone's spine. The deadliest and most brutal man to have ever roamed the planet.

"And in his conquest against the blackened souls of the doomed, his prowess was shown. He set forth without pity upon the beasts of the nine circles. Unbreakable, incorruptible, unyielding, The Slayer sought to end the dominion of the dark realm."

His wrath and unquenchable thirst for blood only satiated with the presence of his long-lost lover, Natalia Romanova. A woman he spent his childhood in the living hell - The Red Room - and whom he lost upon his escape.

"The age of his reckoning was uncounted. The scribes carved his name deep in the tablets of Hell across eons, and each battle etched terror in the hearts of the demons. They knew he would come, as he always had, as he always will, to feast on the blood of the wicked. For he alone could draw strength from his fallen foes, and ever his power grew, swift and unrelenting."

A duel against his lover, resulting in his presumed death, drove Natalia to mourn, alone.

She abandoned her old life, changed her identity, and became one of the earth's mightiest "heroes"; The Black Widow.

The Slayer, now buried deep within (Y/N)'s mind, caused him to vow to never go back; to never return to being the cruel, merciless monster he had once been.

Now known as The Specter, he returned to Natasha's arms with a new life, his old one never ceasing to pursue him.
