Prime Eternal also has access to the Alpha Craft, the most powerful of
all the Eternals' vehicles. Only the Prime Eternal possesses the power
to summon the Ritual of the Uni-Mind, for only he/she can produce the Blue
Flame. The first known Prime Eternal was Kronos. Following his destruction,

should lead. Zuras won. Following Zuras' death, Thena became leader, though
for a time, she gave some of the leadership to Valkin, due to his seniority.

Purity Time
The time when Deviants who are grotesquely deformed must submit themselves
to the priesthood, and put to death in the Fire Pits. Such victims are
called, "Rejects". In fact, victims of Purity Time were actually placed
into suspended animation within the Hidden Throneroom of Lemuria, where
they were placed under mental control of the priesthood, to one day serve

Golden pyramid, built by Valkin, and guarded by the Bridge of Terror. It
contains many of the most powerful artifacts the Eternals have gathered.
The "Weapon" used to destroy the Dreaming Celestial, and the Vial in which
his essence was placed inside of were both sealed inside, with the Vial
held far below where it could not be destroyed. Both were sealed behind
doors marked by the symbol upon Ikaris' chest. Only Ikaris could open the room with the Vial,
and when it was unsealed, Ikaris' chest symbols
changed to alert him. When Druig tortured the location of the Weapon from
Ikaris, he attempted to steal it, but Ikaris slew him, just as the Weapon
fired. Only the intervention of Ziran the Tester prevented the Weapon from
ravaging the planet. The lower vaults still existed, and Kro was sent by
the priesthood to steal the Vial for them. After losing the throne of Lemuria,
Kro returned to the Pyramid, which had somehow been completely restored.
He used this as his home for an indefinite period of time. -Eternals (v.1)#19,

Phastos
Eternal who was often mistaken for the Gree god Hephaestus, (known to the Romans as Vulcan) in the past. Phastos
has built most of the Eternals' devices, including the sword of Kingo Sunen,
and the flight harness used by Icarus. He is officially referred to as the "Master Technologist"
by the Eternals. Phastos was also the mentor of Sigmar,
and watched over his laboratories after he departed earth in the Uni-Mind. At some point in
his long life, Phastos became disenchanted with his existence, and is today nearly suicidal.
He believes there is only one thing worth living for, though he has not
said what it is. Phastos does not participate in violent confrontations,
and when they do arise, he deals with them in a peaceful manner. Normally,
he lives and works in the Ruhr Valley of Germany, where he owns a major engineering
plant. During Ikaris' war with the Deviant fleet, he provided technical assistance, but did not
engage in battle. As part of his plan to gain revenge upon the Eternals, Dr. Daniel Damian sent
a forged scroll to Phastos which detailed information on the "Ordained Ones", but ultimately,
the Eternals uncovered the deception. He recently helped
revive Virako, and serves as a member of the "New Breed" as "Ceasefire".
The hammer Phastos carries has the power to manipulate machinery in ways
the Eternals' own matter control powers do. Although he is a brilliant engineer, Sprite
has opined that he has little imagination. -Eternals (v.2)#1,
3-5, Avengers#308, 310, Eternals: The Herod Factor, Fantastic Four Unlimited#10,
New Eternals#1. It is likely the character Vulcan seen in Red Raven Comics#1 was actually Phastos.
Pixie
Pixie is a former member of the forgotten super-hero team, the First Line. She first joined in the
1960's, alongside Oxbow, who was only 18 at the time. She and Oxbow had a close, possibly romantic
relationship, and it was she who convinced him to become a super-hero, so that he could be her "partner".
At one point, she was able to convince her fellow Eternal Makkari to join the First Line
as "Major Mercury". Pixie is a member of the Eternals, and possesses the powers of flight, virtual immortality,
and the generation of "pixie dust" that transforms living matter into stone. The psychic barriers that
surround her mind are so powerful that not even her teammate the Eternal Brain could read her mind.
In 1985, when the super-hero the Yankee Clipper arrived from the year 1963, she and her fellow Eternals
helped him find a new home in their time, and they have been good friends since. Although
Pixie appeared to perish in the explosion that slew a fleet of invading Skrulls, she survived, and still
exists in the 22nd Century. -Marvel: The Lost Generation#12-3, 1, X-Men: Hidden Years#16, 21
