(God creates the Spectre.)

Chapter eleven:

An aspect of the mother of creation, the Spectre is her Vengeance. After creation, there was a rebellion and many of God's angel's were cast from her for their actions. When the angel Raguel\Aztar who rebelled with Lucifer Morningstar, repented of his sins, God had the angel stripped of his memories prior and he becomes the incarnation of her wrath, set to deliver Divine Justice and Vengeance for the murdered dead and those who sin against God as penance for it's actions. The Spectre was created to replace the being Eclipso, the spirit of God's Revenge who was no longer suitable to be the Wrath. The Spectre is the one who is responsible, for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as the ten plagues of Egypt, splitting the Red Sea, and tumbling the walls of Jericho. When the Godhead took human form, it was determined that Compassion and Redemption (that which Jesus represented) could not walk the D. C universe at the same time as Wrath and Vengeance, and the Spectre entity was cast into limbo where it remained until the crucifixion of Jesus. Following that, the Spectre burst forth in an event dubbed Dies Irae (Days of Wrath) by the Phantom Stranger and ripped through the D. C universe, casting divine vengeance on many people until the Archangel Michael Demiurgos informed the entity of new rules, and the Spectre must be bound with a human soul to walk the D. C universe again. The Spectre intially refused the command but had little choice in the matter.

Following Dies Irae, and the creation of the new rules, as dictated by God, the Archangel Michael Demiurgos took the form of a Hindu deity and acquired the soul of a woman named Sara Lance (a Christian was not chosen because Michael Demiurgos felt it would be too soon.) Sara Lance found trouble in being the Spectre, as she had disrupted the natural cycle of things and caused her family (who had gone through various stages of reincarnation) grief. In the end, Sara Lance was seperated from the Spectre again, and merged with the succubus Sekuba, to Asmodeus when she started to rebel against her mission.

Over the ages, the Spectre would be merged with the soul's of many women, taking as many forms, all who were haunted by Asmodeus while performing the Spectre's mission of punishing the wicked.
