Jonathan Tremont was born in a village in India. He was an extremely charming and charismatic boy and was one of the only survivors of a disease that swept through his village killing his brothers. Tremont became a guide and assisted Hal Chandler the brother of the 3-D man who had been drawn by a strange impulse to travel to the Himalayan Mountains of India. Unbeknownst to Hal, the presence of a powerful mystical artefact was calling to him. The artefact was a pyramid-shaped shard of light, one of three such shards that were created by the universe in reaction to the presence of pure evil that was cast adrift in this dimension by the extra-dimensional gods known as the Trion. Hal was betrayed, however, by Jonathan Tremont, who claimed the shard for himself. Tremont held Hal captive for many years, and Tremont used the power of his shard to create the religious organization called the Triune Understanding. Tremont had discovered the true origin of the shards and hoped to use the Understanding to end the threat of the Trion's cast-off evil, which he termed the "Triple-Evil." |
