D-Void is a Phantom Lord who was an important ally of the Phantom Emperor. However, his fellow Lords' jealousy got in the way, and he was framed for a crime he didn't commit and forced to leave his homeworld in shame. During his exile, he conducted research and looked for a way to get revenge on those who wronged him. He ended up discovering something else – a way to transfer his consciousness into the bodies of other beings. He used this new ability to capture a large number of beings and use them as 'nodes', as he called them.
