The Infinity Gauntlets were a set of three, divinely crafted armaments, forged by The Ancient Ones before the beginning of time. There were said to be three Gauntlets (then called the Necrelios Artifaciuses), one for each domain of the Universe - Angel, Demon, and Man. The three Gauntlets were prophesied to never be touched by hands other than the Ancient Ones, but during the destruction of the Hidden Citadel in 7000 B.B.C.E., the prophecy was shattered and the three gauntlets were scattered across the universe.
