Biography
Darksiders II
Eideard was the first to find Death upon his Unexpected arrival to the Forge Lands. The Elder told the Horseman that Corruption blocked the path to the Tree of Life and bid him seek Alya and restore the fire and tears of the mountain and restore the forge if he wanted to resurrect humanity.
After Alya and Valus had restored the forge, he presented the Maker's Key they made to the Nephilim and bid him use it to restore the last of the Wardens, large constructs impervious to Corruption, so that he could restore the Guardian in the Foundry.
When the corrupted Guardian was awoken, Eideard confronted it and attempted to purify it. His efforts failed and despite his protective shield the construct's attack wounded him badly. He then teleported off the battlefield and contained the area in a shield while Death destroyed the Guardian. When the Guardian was destroyed, Eideard sacrificed himself to resurrect it in its purified form so that the path to the Tree of Life would be unblocked, telling the Horseman that the Tree was where journeys began, not ended, and that his journey is far from over.
