Xand'r is a Tamaranean who worships a Star Conqueror known as The Necrostar. On Earth he disguised himself as a human, using the name Brother Eternity, and became the new telegenic, media-savvy leader of the Church of Blood, renamed the Church of Eternity.
History
Brother Eternity's true appearance
Xand'r was originally a servant of the Tamaranean royal family, who betrayed them to the Citadel.[1]
Decades later he travelled to Earth to pave the way for the Necrostar to take over. He took control of the Church of Blood and embarked on a concerted media campaign to make the Church a mainstream movement and change their public image, admitting to their past evil actions and promising that they have changed, whilst also pointing out the wrongdoing of other religions. He also co-opted legitimate environmental concerns to gain support, and announced grandiose plans to colonise other worlds to attract donations. Under his leadership the Church has become one of the world's fastest-growing religions.[2] In reality he was secretly engineering environmental catastrophies to make Earth hospitable for his master.[3]
Brother Eternity infected Tempest, one of the Church's oldest enemies, with an alien parasite and got him to join the Church in order to give his supposed new direction legitimacy. He also had Garth pass a parasite onto The Flash's wife Linda Park-West.[4][5] He sent Linda to assassinate the Flash but the Titans stopped her and destroyed the parasite.[3] The Necrostar awoke and began its invasion, but Beast Boy was able to defeat it by transforming into a Star Conqueror himself.[6]
