Biography
Legends
- "So, what's your name?"
"I have too many. I am That Which Stands at the Crossroads. Saint Peter. Atibon. Papa Legba." - ―Dagger and That Which Stands at the Crossroads[src]
For centuries, people were making legends about the mystical entity, living in Darkforce Dimension. Depending on people's belief or mentality, it was named as Atibon, Saint Peter, Papa Legba, but most common, That Which Stands at the Crossroads.[1]
Meeting Mayhem
The entity impersonating Fuchs
As soon as Mayhem was absorbed into the Darkforce Dimension by Cloak, she found a replica of Roxxon Gas Station. There, in the refrigerator, Mayhem saw the entity impersonating Fuchs who recreated the moment when Fuchs was murdered. However, "Fuchs" suddenly woke up and asked Mayhem did she want any pancakes.[2] The entity explained its true agenda and revealed that Mayhem was unable to leave the dimension by her own, as she was just a half of human. Mayhem ignored the entity's words and went to find the exit by herself.[1]
Meeting Tandy Bowen
- "Pay to play. Give it up, and go on. You'll have it whenever you want it. Just know, if you take it out in there, the journey's over."
"'Give it up'? Give this up? So, head into uncertain doom without the only thing that keeps me safe?"
"It's not the only thing." - ―That Which Stands at the Crossroads and Dagger[src]
The entity met Tandy Bowen at the Darkforce Dimension who was absorbed by Tyrone Johnson and transformed into the young version of Johnson. It asked Bowen what she was doing there and she explained that she went through the portal made by Johnson, whose entity recognized as Bowen's Divine Pairing. The entity then told Bowen about the legends that people made about it.
The entity impersonating Tyrone Johnson
Bowen asked it about the whereabouts of Mayhem who she was desperate to find to take down the sex trafficking ring in New Orleans. Amused entity explained why Mayhem is unable to leave the dimension and said that the only option for Bowen is taking Mayhem with her and walking through the Gauntlet of Transactions.
Then, the entity showed Bowen the tower viewer, however, Bowen could not see anything with it. It explained that Bowen has to pay with her powers to see the way out through the viewer. Bowen stated that her powers are the only thing that keeps her safe, however, the entity did not agree with her. Bowen "deposited" her Lightforce dagger to the viewer and received a strange coin with her dagger insignia and Johnson's cloak on the other side. Before Bowen could ask the entity about the meaning of the second side, it disappeared leaving Bowen without her powers, as well as Johnson.[1]
