BiographyEdit

DarksidersEdit

Premature ApocalypseEdit

Ulthane was one of the three conspirators that were the catalyst for the premature apocalypse, the other two being the conspiracy's mastermind, Abaddon, and the Angel of Death, Azrael. Ulthane's role was the creation of the Armageddon Blade, a weapon capable of breaking the Seals along with destroying that weapon and reforging the seals afterwards to erase the evidence. When everything went wrong and the forces of Hell won the End War, Ulthane hid himself upon the Earth for shame of his deeds.

RedemptionEdit

Seeking out the heart of the Griever, War traveled to Ulthane's home. He found a giant hammer on his path and attempted to lift it but it proved too heavy. Then Ulthane appeared and warned the Horseman against touching things that weren't his. War recognized him for what he was and demanded to know why an Old One like Ulthane was on the demon infested Earth, but Ulthane ignored his questions and claimed he didn't recognize War. Changing the topic, War announced that he searched for the Black Hammer. Ulthane laughed and said the Nephilim could have another go at his hammer, provided he left his property afterwards. War interrupted, stating that Ulthane was the Black Hammer. Challenged, Ulthane told the Horseman he would have better luck with the one in the ground and began to fight him.

During the dispute, however, Uriel and her soldiers arrived to punish War for his supposed crimes. Annoyed by their interference, Ulthane armed himself with his giant hammer and offered the Nephilim a wager over who could kill the most angels.

After War defeated Uriel and her soldiers were driven away, Ulthane opened a path to the Griever's lair. Ulthane told the Horseman that if he slew the Griever, then he may believe War was who he claimed to be.

After defeating the Griever, War returned to Ulthane and greeted him by using the Tremor Gauntlet to throw the Maker's hammer at him. They spoke and Ulthane gave War a handgun wielded by Strife, Mercy. War then threatened Ulthane with Mercy, demanding again to know why Ulthane was on Earth. Ulthane still refused to tell War anything and, after telling the Horseman that he did not fear death, War left him with a warning.

Later on, War discovered that it was Ulthane who forged the Armageddon Blade, which was used to break six of the Seven Seals and asked him to reforge it, which he did after the Horseman gathered all of its shards.

Darksiders IIEdit

Karn mentioned to Death that Ulthane was a successful blacksmith who lived in the Forge Lands prior to the Corruption. When the Corruption struck, the Makers were unable to destroy it, and Ulthane, along with a few other Makers, made their way to the Tree of Life and fled the Forge Lands before the path leading to the Tree was sealed off by the Corruption.

Also, the helmet the player must retrieve for Karn's second "Lost and Found" quest was originally forged by Ulthane as a gift for his brother, the Maker warrior Thane.

TriviaEdit

• If War kills more angels, Ulthane will give War the Combat Lore enhancement as a prize as well the "Who's Counting?" achievement/trophy.
