Rune. For millenia, this energy vampire has spread
destruction and fear across the galaxy. Finally, defeated in a cataclysmic battle, he
found himself stranded on earth, where he chose to remain in hiding from those with the
power to destroy him. For over a thousand years, he's lived among us, known by many names,
occationally worshipped as a god.
In the first half of the 20th Century, drawn by an irresitable power even he failed to
comprehend, Rune was caught in a nuclear blast that, while he survived, slowly ate away at
him, reducing him to nearly skin and bones, a mere fraction the entity he once was. Many
years later, though nearly dying, Rune caused the premature "birth" of a
"god"--Gemini, and was restored to his former strength and power.
Shortly after, due in part to Rune's interferance and the presence of Gemini, the GENIE
Supercomputer which ran Aladdin was destroyed, while several key components were salvaged
by a Chris Thompson, who built a new computer--Shaherezade.
Rune disappeared, and turns up on the east coast. Gemini has a period of time missing from
his memory. And despite being believed to be dormant, the GENIE components are reasserting
control, beyond Thompson's safeguards.
