Thousands of years ago, supreme beings called Celestials arrived on our planet. They saw in the simians the potential for evolution, and through advanced genetic engineering, created three new races: the Humans, the Eternals, and the Deviants. However, the nature of the Deviants is violent and their cruel attitudes towards humans infuriated the Eternals, who decided to banish the Deviants from their territories. However, some Eternals sympathized with the Deviants' ideas and joined them. The conflict between the Eternals themselves weakened them, causing Dromedan, the leader of the Deviants, to join the rebel Eternal Cronos; and together they began a reign based on fear. The only hope for Humans, and for the world, is a group of Eternals who unite to free their people from the hands of a tyrant.
