Knull’s new backstory -- as per Martin Sanchez and Carlos Freytes -- is as follows:
We exist in the fifth iteration of this world, created when the Aztec god Huitzilopochtli (Weet-see-lo-poached-lee) became the Fifth Sun. Much is known of the four Suns and worlds that came before our own. However, nothing is known of the time between Suns, in the void between creations. This is Knull’s dominion.
Knull came into existence after the destruction of the first world and the fall of the first Sun, a byproduct of the creation of the Abyss between epochs. While the Aztec gods struggled to decide who would become the next Sun and repopulate the world in their image, Knull ruled alone over the Abyss. It is for this reason that Knull’s nemesis is Life itself. After repeating this cycle through three more Suns, Knull decided to prematurely launch the universe back into darkness. Taking a page from the Tzitzimimeh (Zee-zee-me-meh), the female deities associated with the stars, and their sister Coyolxauhqui (Koy-ol-shauw-kee), the moon goddess, who all despise their brother Huitzipochtli (Weet-see-lo-poached-lee) for shining brighter than them, Knull decided to attack the sun god.
His attempt was thwarted by the stars, who wished to kill Huitzipochtli themselves. In a rage, Knull used Tliltocatl, his Necromacuahuitl, to cut one of the Tzitzimemeh’s heads off. Word of Knull’s crimes spread almost instantaneously, so with the combined power of the brothers Huitzipochtli (Weet-see-lo-poached-lee), Quetzalcoatl (Ket-Sal-Ko-Ah-Tl), Xipe Totec (Zi-pe-to-tek), and Tezcatlipoca (Tes-Cat-Li-Po-Ca), the four most venerated gods, Knull was banished to the far reaches of the universe. Using the blood from the severed head, along with dark energy from the Abyss, Knull created the beings known as Symbiotes, and began making his way back home, taking out any being that got in his way. Armed with Tliltocatl the Necromacuahuitl and his legion of symbiotes, Knull’s goal is to wreak vengeance on the gods, along with their precious humans, and end creation forever.
