History: Immortus was born in one of Earth's alternate
futures of the 31st Century (a different one from that which
was conquered by the alien Badoon) and being a man of adventure
in a time of world peace and prosperity, he was discontent.
Discovering the parts of a time machine and the plans for its
assembly in the ruins of one of his ancestors' property, the
man who would become Immortus embarked upon a life of conquest
and adventure, exploring and ransacking time era after time
era, under such guises as Pharaoh Rama-Tut, Kang the Conqueror,
and others. He established strongholds or kingdoms across time.
By his constant time travel, he diverged countless temporal
counterparts to himself, each capable of independent existence
and further travel.
Shaped by differing sets of experiences, the legions of Immortus-to-be
encompassed the gamut of human diversity, from petty tyrants
to selfless martyrs. One of these counterparts, whose life had
at times embraced the basest of motives and actions, decided
in his seventh decade of his chronological life, to give up
his worldly conquests and meditate till the end of his days
upon the nature of time. This Immortus-to-be, who had been assuming
the guise of Rama-Tut, journeyed to Limbo, the transtemporal
realm that exists outside the timestream itself (and through
which all time travelers must pass in order to get from one
era to another). There he employed automatons to build him a
castle, and upon its completion (which was instantly since time
has no meaning in Limbo), he began to meditate.
Immortus was then visited by the Time-Keepers, a trinity of
beings who had been born at the very end of the timestream,
in the final days before the collapse of the universe. The Time-Keepers
helped him unlock new secrets of time and appointed him to oversee
the 80 millennia of his existence, a minor task when compared
to the whole of Time itself. Creating a giant guardian for his
castle, Immortus embarked upon a number of campaigns to untangle
the skein of timelines that he and his counterparts had created
by their indiscriminate use of time travel. Believing that most
of the beings he encountered in his campaigns could not begin
to understand the mysteries of time that motivated him, he frequently
gave them facile or even misleading information to quell their
curiosities or ease their anxieties. The beliefs of other beings
were not important to him as long as they did not interfere
with his duties as custodian of this segment of the timestream.

that used by Kang.
