Rain Jewlett was abandoned to an orphanage at an extremely young age. When he was 17, his best friend and fellow priest in training, Yuca Collabel, killed their friend Freya and turned Rain into an immortal. Yuca explained that he was the spirit of methuselah, cursed to be reborn for all eternity and that he wanted to destroy humanity to end the cycle. He made a bet with Rain that if, after all the centuries of living, Rain still loved humanity, that he would have to kill Yuca so he wouldn't destroy everything. However, if Rain changed his mind, Yuca had given him the ability to help destroy the world.
