Tenebris is the ruler of the Underworld. He is one of the three bosses in the third and currently the last tier (along with Karcer and Drakaina), and is the last boss of tier 3.
Story[]
Shadow finally reaches the heart of the Underworld, where Tenebris awaits his arrival. Behind him is the portal where nothingness resides, in which worlds can be created. Tenebris says that it was he who forged the light and darkness of the world. Sensei realizes that the portal can probably save humanity from the Eternals. Tenebris replies by saying that they, humans, are only capable of destroying, and the portal will destroy them. Sensei tells Shadow that they may stop the Eternals by entering the portal, or they may cause a great catastrophe by doing so. It is a risk that has to be taken, as they have no other choice.
Shadow then challenges Tenebris to prove humanity's worth. Tenebris displays a fearsome demonstration of his might throughout the battle. This, combined with the harsh anomalies on the battlefield, makes this battle very challenging. Despite all that, Shadow emerges victorious against Tenebris at the end.
Tenebris warns them for the last time of the consequences of entering the portal. Shadow now has two choices that he must choose from:
- Turn Back - Shadow turns away from the portal. The portal then reacts and grants its power to Shadow and his companions, the power to form and shape reality in accordance with their will. Tenebris says that together with the Eternals, they can now decide what to do with this chaotic world. They can destroy it just like what the Eternals had done many times. Or they can opt to live in peace instead, something the Eternals could never do. Shadow now has the power to stop the cycle of destruction.
- Enter - Shadow enters the portal. Once inside, Shadow starts getting swallowed by the immense force of the portal. He also hears voices inside his head, telling him that these voices are just his imagination and to not give up. After Shadow survives this ordeal, he regains his consciousness and sees that the Underworld has been affected greatly - the Eternals have been eradicated. The portal switched humanity's place with the Eternals'. The judgement that was meant for humans has fall upon the Eternals instead. Even though the Eternals will be reborn one day, just like all life forms, it cannot be denied that their demise was directly caused by humans. With the new power from the portal, Shadow and humanity now have the Eternals' fate at their mercy. As Tenebris states, Shadow can choose to either let the Eternals live or die.
Powers and Abilities[]
Tenebris is an extremely powerful being who rules the Underworld, he is the most powerful eternal in the Underworld. He claims to have created the world, along with its light and darkness, hence him being referred as Maker, Creator, and Father by the other Eternals who respect and fear Tenebris. The way Arkhos and Karcer speak about him implies that Tenebris created the Eternals, the beings that had lived for thousands of years and are capable of making natural disasters to wipe out humanity. Tenebris himself is also more than capable in erasing humanity with ease, as Vortex believes humans have no way to avoid their judgement once Tenebris has decided their death, and the only choice they have is to choose how they will die. Fatum also emphasizes this point by stating that Tenebris is much more skillful than her in weaving the threads of fate, and he is merely testing human kind as he wants a decent rival.
Personality[]
Tenebris has his own moral compass. He is not good, but he is not evil either. He has been described as merciless and does not have any desire to understand and tolerate humans at all.
