If the first Transformers were Primus' disciples, then The Fallen is their Judas. At the dawn of time, he was a Prime, one of a brotherhood of vastly powerful beings dedicated to the well-being of their world. But The Fallen, whose original name has long since been forgotten, would gain his moniker by turning against his brothers and his purpose to pursue his own ends. His new, frightening form is a metal cage for primal, burning forces of chaos, giving him the appearance of a living furnace. These cauldron-like forces purged him of what empathy and morality remained.
The Fallen is immensely powerful. He commands mystic, entropic arts, and when at full strength he can un-make creation at his focused will. He is rarely defeated; at best he is contained, where he waits with eternal patience for the chance to unleash his dark powers once again. Though he has often been imprisoned between dimensions, this rarely lasts. The Fallen can open space bridges and travel between dimensions, though he usually uses this power to teleport between short distances. Because of this ability, The Fallen has seen many universes. In several, he is the originator of the Decepticons, the catalyst that prompted Megatron to claim power for himself rather than the greater good.
If there is any reprieve, it is that there is only one of him. Like his brothers, The Fallen is a multiversal singularity, meaning that in all of the vast multiverse, there is only one incarnation of him. But while the the exact details of his past are hard to reconcile, two things remain consistent: He is bad news, and he's on fire.
