Deseeus was a Quintesson Judge and a Magistrate of the Quintesson Empire. During its tyrannical reign over the Cybertronain race, Deseeus was against the cruelty the empire dealt towards Cybertron, and gave its people the power to fight its oppressors, and win. Deseeus came to view themselves as the sole reason for the Cybertronains freedom, even earning the moniker, "Deseeus the Renegade, Breaker of Shackles".
Deseeus, while stationed aboard a ship on the planet Chaar, hired Doubledealer and his team of Mercenaries to bring in the Autobot crew of the Ark, with the promise of energon payment in return. When Doubledealer and his crew bought their captives in, they were greeted by the Quintesson Judge in their throne room. When Ironhide mused that he didn't feel welcome, Deseeus, speaking from the shadows, told him that they were, referring to them as their "children". Deseeus then emerged from the darkness, and their five faces each let out a laugh. Optimus Prime was bought to face Deseeus alone, with the judge asking Prime if he knew of them. Optimus told them that he knew what they were, and that was enough. Deseeus told him he was mistaken, and that he was different, having gone against his fellow Quintessons, and been the catalyst for setting the Cybertronian race free. As they calmly claimed their grand importance in Cybertron's history, Prime interjected, bringing up the AllSpark. This agitated Deseeus, but before they could continue, Doubledealer interrupted, demanding his pay. This caused conflict between the faces of the Judge. The face of Wisdom requested patience so that they could reach "consensus". When Prime bought up that the so-called "Breaker of Shackles" now had those he freed in chains, the faces were prompted into further discourse and debate, from being impressed by Prime to demanding reformatting, execution, pain and suffering. However, the face of Wisdom declared the matter was already settled. After declining to reveal what they needed from the Autobots, the judge departed to reach a new consensus.
The face of Wrath turned on the other faces, cutting off and killing them, leaving no need for consensus again. The face of Wisdom tried to appeal that their council could value a peaceful faction, though their words and face were cut off by the face of Wrath. Deseeus emerged with the new look, and their first act was to deny Doubledealer payment. Furious, Doubledealer and his team pulled blasters on the Quintesson, but Deseeus had forces of their own, with their army preventing any action from the Mercenaries. Deseeus approached Prime, gleefully relishing their now singular focus. When Prime claimed they were innocent, Deseeus was more than ready to show them "how they dealt with the innocent" before being threatened by Doubledealer and his crew. The Autobots then attacked and, in conjunction with the Mercenaries, wiped out Deseeus's forces, leaving the single-faced Quintesson to vanish back into the shadows as their prey escaped. Earthrise episode 2
Sometime after the Autobots escaped, Deseeus caught up with the Mercenaries and took control of Doubledealer's mind, with Bug Bite and Exhuast seemingly going along willingly. Above Earth, the Quintesson attempted to wipe out both the Autobots and the Decepticons by using the Mercenaries' ship, the Fool's Fortune. However, an alliance between the two factions turned the tables on Deseeus, who gave up on using Doubledealer and moved to deal with things themselves. They fought back against the factions, but were taken aback by the arrival of a stowaway, the Autobot Cog, who shot off the end of one of the Judge's tentacles in an effort to stop them. However, as the ship was fired upon, Cog fell back, giving Deseeus the opportunity to stab him. As the Fool's Fortune was ready to blow up, Deseeus fled the bridge. Shortly after, the ship exploded.

Notes
- Similarly to the Judge in Cyberverse, Deseeus's faces each have unique voice actors, with the faces of Wrath and Doubt having voices supplied by actresses. Nevertheless, Deseeus is referred to using masculine pronouns.
- Unlike Quintesson Judges in the G1 continuity who have always been portrayed to have only one identity, and use the faces just to express their emotions, Deseeus seems to have 5 personalities that constantly argue with each other.
- Despite many characters in this chapter using the toy models for the animation and there being a Quintesson Judge figure in Earthrise, Deseeus uses a new specifically made model by Rooster Teeth that resembles the artwork shown on the Earthrise packaging instead.
