Who is Ulysses Bloodstone?

The Known History Of Ulysses Bloodstone The Way It Began The man who would one day call himself Ulysses Bloodstone was born approximately ten thousand years ago, at the dawn of the Hyborian Age. He was raised as part of a small nomadic tribe inhabiting Northern Vanaheim, on the continent of Europe, in the area which would one day be called Scandinavia. Eventually becoming one of his tribe's foremost hunters, he was hunting for food one day when he encountered a being called Ulluxy'l Kwan Tae Syn , guardian of the Bloodgem . The Bloodgem was an unearthly crystal that had only recently materialized on Earth. It housed the Hellfire Helix, an evil non-organic life form from another continuum that, while possessing great mystical power, needed to encase itself within the protective crystal to exist within Earth's continuum. Having a great desire to conquer Earth, yet needing a native life form as its agent, it convinced Ulluxy'l to lead the hunter to the cave where it had materialized. There, it granted the hunter super-human strength. Returning to his tribe, the hunter demonstrated his power and told his awe-struck people how they too might receive the gift.
