Only a fool trusts a traitor. You deserve each other. 

— Telos

Universe: DC
First Appearance: As Arak Red-Hand, Warlord #48 (1976); As Telos, Convergence #0 (2015)
Created by: Roy Thomas, Ernie Colon

Telos, born as Arak, Son of Thunder, a Skartarian, was once a native of the Blood Moon, who was turned by Brainiac into a sentient planet and the Avatar of the Blood Moon itself to aid him in bringing about the Convergence of Multiverses.

Telos has worked for every version of Brainiac, since his inception, that has ever existed in every incarnation of the Multiverse, faithfully carrying out the task. Brainiac of the Futures End timeline was the last one he served, until his master disappeared while trying to acquire the Metropolis in his timeline.

He is known for absorbing worlds and possessing immense reality-warping power, sparking significant fan discussion and theories, especially around his origins and role in manipulating time and space for Brainiac’s collection.

In the wake of Brainiac’s absence, Telos concluded that since Brainiac is unique, so it must be unique. Based on this idea, Telos decides to find the worthy survivor; he ensures that all of them fight each other.

It was the evil sorcerer Deimos who summoned Brainiac to reveal the truth of Telos’ identity.

Telos joined Grayson’s group of heroes from disparate worlds in defeating Deimos, after which Brainiac relinquished Telos’ bondage and vanished. And he later departed for parts unknown, in search of his family that he now fully remembers.
