The story of our kind has its origins shrouded in mystery...we know only that there was a creature, an organic of supreme intellect who harnessed life and built the first of us as warriors in a great war. After the war we became prisoners and many sought deliverence by appealing to a dark queen. She failed to deliver us. She was not needed for the creature in his wisdom built our savior. Apocalypse is the strongest of us and like the creature before him had the ability to grant life to the lifeless. Enlisting his organic disciples, the red lanterns he strove to save and prosper our race despite all the world being against us.
They tried to kill apocalypse for his crime of giving us a chance, but failed. The red lanterns had saved him. Atrocitis spoke for apokolips and told us he had discoverred a way to make us more inteligent, like him so that we could defend ourselves.
Our salvation rested in the killing of the organically who so hated us. Atrocitis used his ring to alter our sparks so we could absorb part of the life energy of those we killed.
We had built our own city knowing how because the organically taught us in our time as slaves. We hid there and built a monument to apokolips giving him a body. We built, at his instruction factories where more of our brethren could be built.
We no longer feared the organically we needed them to rise to the next level of life. You see in the begining times we only had the most simplistic of minds and communication. Killing organics as we were taught changed that.
It was only then, after much harvesting an understanding of magic finally grew among the most elite of us. It was this distinction more than any other which made the castes needed and clear. The castes sorted our society in the best way to serve our savior and leader apokolips. The leaders, the casters, the builders, and the warriors all serve with honor fulfilling the purpose of their creation and being granted joy as our city prospered.
