Bio
While his true place and date of birth aren't known, Jedah Dohma was resurrected in the desolate outer regions of Makai, the Devil World. His past visions of what's to become of the world around him are things upon which he's dwelled heavily. Under the reign of Berial, the head of the Aenslaed family and true ruler of Makai, Jedah saw nothing but decay in the future of Makai. He saw it as sitting on the cusp of oblivion, and in his mind, he believed the only one that could save it was... himself.
To save every being in Makai, Jedah believed every last soul must be united into a single soul. To Jedah, this would bring peace to all, as there would be no conflict. But to do this, he needed something... a container. One that would be strong enough to hold all the souls. And that would enable him to not make the same mistake he felt Berial did in the past. For this, Jedah concocted a plan where he would gather up the most valuable souls and unite them with himself in hopes of making a container large enough to safely hold all the other souls.
Jedah came into the traveling dark void called Majigen with benevolent intentions. This void was his creation, and a container of its own. Here, he battled the other Darkstalkers that had come to the void. He left behind no one, as he took their souls into himself to strengthen his abilities for what was yet to come. Finally, with all defeated, Jedah's plan for the Devil World was set to be carried out. He was ready to go back and recreate life itself with a single life form, just as it supposedly had been done before. But before this could be done, he had to first destroy another world. If the Devil World was to exist as the primary world, he felt that the human world had to be destroyed. For there, the ruler of the human world slept lightly, and he knew that if his plan was to come to fruition, he had to get rid of the human world before she fully awakened...
