The Last Enemy is a living, possessive equation who serves the Null, dedicated to creating chaos and wiping out all existence. This has made him an enemy to Archer & Armstrong, Eternal Warrior, and the Geomancer.
History[]
Created by the Null in the Middle Ages to terrorize the Levant, the Last Enemy is a living equation, like a virus in the human mind. Throughout history, the Null would expose individuals to the "Null-Mind Equation", in order to spark chaos and violence. As the Null's personal immortal assassin, the Last Enemy has claimed responsibility for events ranging in scope from Abraham Lincoln's assassination to mass shootings.
In the 21st Century, the Last Enemy and the Null came into a collision course with Archer & Armstrong, a pair of adventurers with connections to the Null's wider web of cults, or "The Sect". The leader of the Null, Elyot Zorn, sought to use Archer as the next host of the Enemy, and while the Enemy successfully entered and took control of the young man's mind, the intervention of the Geomancer and Archer's own mental fortitude resulted in the banishment of the equation from his mind. It is unknown what happened to the Enemy after that, although it can be assumed that as long as the Equation still exists, he will as well.

Notes[]
- The "Last Enemy" was likely created as a twist on the "Immortal Enemy" character from the original Eternal Warrior series. There are many similarities, and his first appearance was even teased as the "Immortal Enemy" in previews. However, he was given a different name, and the true Immortal Enemy would later appear in the miniseries The Valiant.
- The name "Last Enemy" comes from a passage in First Corinthians in the Bible, which states "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."

Quotes[]
The Null subtracts reality in two ways: first gradually. Then instantly. I handle the "gradually" part. I was born during the crusades -- they used me to terrorize the Levant, transforming seemingly normal people into cold-blooded killers. From time to time, when the Null wants history nudged in a certain way, I take out... specific targets. Dallas, Sarajevo, Memphis... Ford's Theatre? I go where I'm asked. Wherever there is a seemingly senseless explosion of violence... I am there. For I am nothingness. Projected outward.
