During the infancy of the human race, Abnegazar, Rath & Ghast inhabited the planet Earth and used their magical powers to spread evil among the planets pre-human population. As time went on, a mysterious race called the Timeless Ones appeared on Earth and discovered the evil schemes of the three treacherous demons. In an attempt to purify the Earth from chaos, the Timeless Ones used their innate magical abilities to banish the demons beneath the surface of the Earth, trapping them for eternity. The Timeless Ones thought they ended the threat to Earth but they were wrong.

The three demons had prepared for such an event by creating three powerful talismans called the Silver Wheel of Wyorlath, the Green Bell of Utheol and the Red Jar of Calythoe which they also hid beneath the Earth. As millions of years passed, 20th century sorcerer Felix Faust uncovered some arcane knowledge about the three demons. Faust decided to conjure up the spirits of the demons to gain their powers. (See Justice League of America v1 #10) The demons told Faust of the existence of three powerful talismans but warned him that they were guarded by magically powered entities. The scheming Faust decided to use the Justice League to unearth the magical talismans and set in motion the events needed to free the demons in a hundred years. The Justice League, already on a mission in time, discovered the demons were free and defeated the trio and imprisoned them again.

Eventually, the demons were freed again and in a battle for good and evil, the demons sided with the forces of hell in attempt to change the very face of the universe into a horrible nightmare. They would become the Lords of Misrule and would help oversee this new world. They were intercepted by Dr. Fate who used his powers to totally destroy Ghast. Eventually the threat to Earth was halted by the Swamp Thing and the two remaining demons, Rath & Abnegazar fled to the fires of hell. (See Swamp Thing #50) Years later, Rath and Abnegazar were summoned by the Lord of Lies, Neron to help defeat the JLA. (See JLA v3 #7 - 8) Rath and Abnegazar would use their ancient powers to move the moon from the orbit of the Earth, causing widespread chaos. As usual the demons and Neron were once again defeated by the JLA.

Powers: Abnegazar, Rath & Ghast have the magical ability to create solid objects, create devastating energy blasts, animate inanimate objects, fly, travel through space and to travel through time. All three demons are immortal

Limitations: Although all three demons are immortal, they can be killed by magics greater than their own.
