History

Host of Nuada / King of Britain

This mortal became the host of Nuada. In this host, Nuada became king of Britain and fathered the gods Gwynn and Gwythr.

Oblivion

When the human host died, Nuada attempted to leave the host and return to Otherworld but the host clung to a fragment of Nuada's divine life essence and was consigned to Oblivion. The former host went mad over the years and started to believe that he was the true Nuada.

He formed a small group of followers who forged three stones to absorb human emotions.

Modern Age

Eventually, the stones stored enough energy for "Nuada" to escape Oblivion.

Young Gods attempted to obtain the stones and defeated him by merging into the Uni-Mind. The Uni-Mind attacked Nauda, who vanished, screaming, in a burst of light. The life essence fragment presumably returned to its source.
