Born from ancient times, the Zangyack Empire had dominated a vast majority of the universe. Their actions eventually provoked the attention of the Celestials, prompting Orphan to take action before the Creator intervened in Assiah. Where Orphan wanted to erase Assiah in order to erase Zangyack's existence, Samael convinced his partner to seal Zangyack away for all eternity to spare the innocent of destruction. Orphan did so, binding Zangyack away for all time.
