Around 1500 years ago, the hidden guild came to place the Eternity Mask on their champion of the era where it was given to a commoner. At the time, the tales of the guild drew the attention of Sir Percy of Scandia who was sent to investigate the matter. Wielding the Ebony Blade, he encountered the guild's champion where the two fought for three days until his foe was killed. However, Sir Percy was too weakened from the fight to stop the recovery of the Eternity Mask by the guild of warlocks who departed the scene. (Marvel Comics v1 #1000)
