The Totality was an ancient cosmic organism that formed with the birth of the universe itself and was a dark matter based lifeform that consisted of 94% of the cosmos. During its existence, it began to become aware of light matter based creatures such as organic based beings and that they had the capacity to develop sentience. However, the Totality became convinced that these lifeforms would never experience the true depth of the universe as it did and thus sought to uplift them by making them one with the Totality.
