For alternate versions of Makkari, see Makkari's Character Hub |
Makkari is a member of a community of the genetically-engineered Eternals, created at the World Forge by the Celestials, who came to Earth in 5000 B.C. to help progress Earth's societal development and protect it from the Deviants. Notably, she helped introduce sign language to human civilization. In Ancient Mesopotamia, she developed an affinity towards Druig and humans alike. In 1521 A.D., after completing her prime goal of defeating the Deviants, she and the other Eternals decided to disband and separate. Makkari decided to relocate to the Domo, buried under Iraq, where she started her goal to explore the Earth and collect various objects and artifacts.
In the wake of the Blip, Makkari was summoned by Sersi to rejoin the Eternals to stop the Emergence. After stopping Tiamut the Communicator from emerging and destroying Earth, and the sudden disappearance of Sersi, Phastos and Kingo, Makkari and the remaining Eternals were greeted by Starfox and Pip the Troll as a glimmer of hope.
Biography
Creation
Makkari was built and programmed by Arishem the Judge, and presumably was sent to multiple planets to protect and help evolve sentient life forms from the Deviants, powering a Celestial seed inside the planet, which would absorb the energy made from the sentient lifeforms. Eventually, the Emergence would occur, destroying the planet in the process. Upon finishing their mission, the Eternals would be sent back to the World Forge to have their memories erased and reset.[1]
Protecting Humans
Arriving on Earth

Makkari fighting a Deviant alongside Kingo
Makkari alongside the rest of the Eternals were sent to Earth on the Domo. Once awoken, the Eternals were provided with suits to wear before arriving at the planet. Makkari, being one of the Eternal's main fighters, landed on Earth first to fight the Deviants. Makkari used her speed to get the humans to safety, as well as help defeat the creatures. When the Deviants attacking the humans were defeated, the Eternals presented themselves to the race they were assigned to protect. She taught the first humans Sign Language.[1]
Fighting the Deviants
- "I can sense vibrations. Even the tiniest movement. Including your voices when you speak."
- ―Makkari[src]

Makkari attacking a Deviant in Babylon
Continuing to protect and assist the human population, the Eternals headed to Babylon, Mesopotamia in 575 B.C., where they fought against more Deviants. Makkari and her teammates were able to defeat a group of Deviants, protecting the city.

Makkari and Druig talk
After the battle, a celebration was held, where Makkari came late, because she was collecting enough artifacts to trade for the Emerald Tablet. When one of the men that she was trying to negotiate tried to steal one of her artifacts, she quickly stopped him. The man said that the Emerald Tablet was a myth, and didn't exist.
When Druig controlled the mind of a group of men that were fighting, she adverted him that Ajak don't allow it, but he ironically pointed out that she was stealing artifacts. Both of them made a deal to not tell Ajak.
Later on, Makkari and the rest of the Eternals witnessed Ikaris and Sersi's wedding.[1]
Helping Heian-Kyo

Makkari battles Kappa
In 1084, Makkari and Druig arrived in the Japanese city of Heian-Kyo. They find that a Deviant or as the people call it, an "Oni", has been terrorizing the town. Makkari pursues him, running around and punching the Deviant known as Kappa. She repeatedly punched him until an arrow came out of no where and hit him. Makkari used this opportunity to deliver a punch the Kappa that sent him many meters away.
Makkari then looked up to see a man named Yoshiie Minamoto who shot the arrow. They devised a plan to capture Kappa. Eventually, the deviant attacked again, but Minamoto was saved by Druig, who lunged in front of the man. Makkari then carried Druig back to the Domo where Ajak healed him. Afterwards, Minamoto gifted Druig his Onikirimaru.[2]
Defeating Kappa
One day, Makkari and the rest of the Eternals found a Deviants Nest. They realized that Kappa was alive and controlling many Deviants that they had fought throughout the years. He gained the ability through Druig during their confrontation. They battled the deviants until Thena killed Kappa, which also killed the rest.[2]
Retelling

Makkari questions Sprite
Years later in 1521, Makkari was asked by Ikaris where Sersi was, so she raced around the Domo looking. Gilgamesh told her he heard she was gathering up trinkets. Makkari runs into Sprite, who is no help. She then found Ajak and Phastos, but they didn't know where Sersi is either. She finally found Sersi, who was holding the Onikirimaru. Makkari quickly exclaimed it was hers, but Sersi denied it. However, she confessed that she didn't know where it's from. Sprite then arrived and set up an illusion of the Battle of Heian-Kyo. Makkari and Druig then retold the battle.
They began finding other artifacts and Sprite repeated the same process.[2]
Defeating the Deviants

Makkari saves Sersi
While a war was taking place in Tenochtitlan, Makkari and the others defeated the last Deviants. She went to the city and saved a child from a falling monument, before meeting Thena, Ajak, Sersi, Sprite, Phastos and Druig, when men with heavy weaponry began to massacre the natives of the region. Makkari advised Druig to stay strong when he confronted Phastos about how he helped humans develop those weapons, when suddenly Thena's Mahd Wy'ry caused her to fight the others unknowingly. She attacked Sersi, who was saved by Makkari, who gently put her down. Makkari then sprang into action, but Thena stabbed her. After stopping Thena, Ajak healed Makkari.
While they took Thena to lay on a pedestal and Ajak healed Makkari and the others wounds, an argument between Druig and Ajak began, resulting in Druig deserting the Eternals, and Ajak splitting up the team, telling them to go live their lives as they wanted.[1]
Living in the Domo

Makkari reading inside the Domo
After Ajak split the Eternals, Makkari sought the rest of her days in the Domo collecting human artifacts, including books, paintings, idols and even the Excalibur and the Emerald Tablet. She spent centuries waiting to come back to her home, Olympia.[1]
Emergence
Reuniting with the Eternals

Makkari and Druig reunited after centuries
When she reunited with Druig and the other Eternals, she was seen to be reading as they walked in and was very excited and thought it was finally time to go home. She was then informed about the Emergence and was intrigued and upset by the fact that she was genetically engineered by Arishem the Judge, and that the home she wanted to return to for a long time didn't exist.

Makkari finding the Emergence point
While planning what to do to stop the Emergence, Tiamut started to awake, and Phastos asked Makkari to find the exact place that he would emerge. She traveled for miles, until she found the Island that was the epicenter of the Emergence.[1]
Ikaris' Betrayal

Makkari runs away from the Domo
As Ikaris was revealed to be Ajak's true killer, she came back to the Domo, informing that she had found Tiamut. Ikaris then tried to kill her, but she deviated, at the same moment that Kingo protected her. He then said to her to get out of there, as she ran away from the Domo.

The Eternals preparing for battle
When Ikaris and Sprite left, Makkari came back. As Kingo was leaving too, she tried to make him stay, but he left anyway. After Phastos was finally able to create the devices to connect all of them in the Uni-Mind, the team suited up and prepared to battle.[1]
Stopping Tiamut the Communicator
- "We became one... even Ikaris and Sprite all because of Tiamut."
- ―Makkari[src]

Makkari attacks Ikaris
Makkari, Druig, and Sersi went to the ground, while Thena and Phastos stayed in the Domo, to stop Tiamut through the Uni-Mind, but Ikaris found out and blasted Druig through the ground. A devastated and rageful Makkari wailed as she saw this and sought to seek revenge for Druig, as she thought he was dead. She gained the upper-hand in fighting Ikaris, but quickly lost as her fight pattern was recognized by Ikaris and he held her by the neck and blasted her chest, wounding her.

Makkari hugging Druig
She continued to battle him with the other Eternals, and was almost killed by the Kro but was saved by Thena. They were eventually successful in stopping Tiamut from emerging, she was shocked as to the fact that they defeated Tiamut together through the Uni-Mind and even Sprite and Ikaris ascended all because of Tiamut. She was reunited with Druig much to her surprise.

The Eternals eating pizza
After the battle, Phastos, his family, Makkari, Thena and Druig reunited in Ajak's Homestead while watching the news on TV. When Druig questioned Makkari if the other Eternals would accept the truth as they did, she said they would, because "the truth will set them free". Thena, Makkari and Druig then boarded the Domo, to travel around the Universe finding the other Eternals and tell them everything.[1]
Finding Other Eternals
Meeting Starfox

Makkari meeting Eros
While on the Domo, Thena, Makkari and Druig were confused as to why the other Eternals weren't communicating with them. Thena quickly realized that Arishem found out about the plan and took them, when suddenly Starfox came through the Domo through a portal, revealing that he was the Prince of Titan, Thanos' brother. He offered help and informed them that their friends were in danger.[3]
