History[]
Born into the Apokoliptian royal family as the youngest child of Apokolips' then ruler Yuga Khan, and his wife Heggra the young New God known as Uxas had hungered for powered from a young age. To that end he began working to obtain it as soon, and as fast, as he could. Which included traveling to Apokolips' neighboring world, New Genesis, to see if there was anything of use to him on the world that would further his own goals. Which there was. The first was a young boy, who would become one of his greatest advisors in the future, and the closest thing he would possibly call a friend, named DeSaad. While the second was a young New Genosian warrior named Izaya. A man who Uxas managed to befriend and fool into thinking they were actually comrades. So much so he even let the man marry his younger sister Avia. Who had fallen in love with Izaya after her brother introduced them.
Though none of that mattered once Uxas assumed the throne of Apokolips, after his father Yuga Khan vanished, and managed to forge a connection to the Omega Realm. Which bestowed him with powers no other New God possessed, allowing him to stand above all, and crushed anyone who opposed him. So with this Uxas became the undisputed ruler of Apokolips and even took a new name to signify this. Thus the being known as Darkseid was born.
