“I am the eternal record of each man’s twistings and turnings through life… Men call me Fate!” Fate is a powerful embodiment of fate and destiny, describing himself as “the eternal record of each man’s twistings and turnings through life”, and as one who “bridges the gap between this world and the next, holding in [his] grasp the skeins of each man’s destiny”. He often referred to those who did not heed his warnings as “foolish mortals”. Though not ill-disposed towards humanity (sometimes being depicted as bending destiny to save the lives of innocents or of those who atone for evil deeds in their past), Fate has no qualms about meting out judgment as he saw fit, in certain circumstances where hubristic individuals tried to meddle with the forces of destiny, or discovered knowledge which no mortal man is allowed to possess. When committed by other beings, he views murder as a form of interference in the destiny of others, and opposes it strongly. He is not the only supernatural entity in his universe. He is familiar with the workings of the Underworld (though he is not technically the one to render judgment on the dead, who are instead, if wicked, condemned to punishments by panels of other dead souls), and sometimes crosses paths with Satan, the “Master of Evil”, and with his own brother Death, who reluctantly bows to Fate.
