Wraith/Doom (2016)



The Wraiths, otherwise known as The Elemental Wraiths or The Firstborns were godlike beings originally from the realm of Argent D'Nur. They were revered and worshiped by the Argenta, who formed the Night Sentinels to protect to them. In turn, the Wraiths empowered the Night Sentinels, making them nearly invincible against the demonic forces of Hell.

History
The Wraiths were the very first lifeforms to born on Argent D'Nur. According to the Ligra Sultagenta (Book of Kings), an immense shard of rock and metal known as the Cosmic Spear impacted Argent D'Nur, impaling through the planet. The impact opened the "Womb of the World" and released the Wraiths, who then brought life to the planet in what is known as the Wraithcall. Fierce beasts and an unforgiving biosphere rose from the Wraithcall in which the first of those were the Ancestrals, towering behemoths invigorated by the magic of the Wraiths who waged war with each other for years untold and destroying everything in their wake. The Wraithcall soon gave rise to the Argenta and the Wraiths gifted early man with magic and the knowledge to forge weapons to drive back the Ancestrals and claiming dominion over Argent D'Nur. The Argenta owed gratitude to the Wraiths and worshiped them as their gods, and forming the order of the Night Sentinels to protect the Wraiths and their civilization from outside threats.

Fall of the Wraiths
A Night Sentinel that lost his son in the battle that was raging at the time approached a Hell Priest, Deag Grav and a pact was made; if the Betrayer would lead them to the Wraiths, he would get his son back. The Betrayer was tricked, and after he lead Deag Grav and his Cabal to the Wraiths as they slept, the Wraiths were cursed and subjugated, and were used to create The Well. The Betrayer's son was resurrected in the form of a powerful demon, the Icon of Sin.

For the next three ages, until the fourth age the Wraiths were under Hell's corruption, the Wraiths were strung to sacrificial altars that siphoned their elemental energy into powering The Well, giving demonkind unlimited energy to use in their conquests.

Freedom
The Wraith were eventually freed by the Doom Slayer; the Slayer traveled to the ruins of Argent D'Nur and using The Crucible he breaks the Wraiths free from their bondage, and subsequently depriving The Well from Hell

Description
Their general appearance prior to their sighting in Doom (2016) is unknown, as it has been shown that exposure to Hell's energy in copious amounts will drastically change the visual and internal structure of beings.

The Wraiths had great energy within them, clearly shown as they could have powered the Well for so long (centuries or thousands of years, although the time frame is unknown) and it is presumed had they not been freed they would have been powering demonkind for many years more to come.
