Origin
The alien race that had developed a perfect society without disease or want, the only challenge that remained was to conquer death.  The scientist Atrophos led the race into a pact with Entropy to grant them immortality, but it came with a heavy price.  To continue living they had to infuse themselves with the life energies of other living beings, a process which kept them in a state of static decay eventually turning the race into a universal Blight.
