The United Nations first orbital space station, Monitor One, was staffed by an international crew of scientists, technician, and military of witch Issiah King was one of. Shortly after completion, caught in the tail of a previously uncharted comet Strange radiation from the comet's tail penetrated the station's defensive shields and caused the majority of those onboard to die a grisly death.

A select few members of the crew, Issiah included, carriers of a rare genetic trait, survived the disaster but soon began mutating into inhuman, super-powered beings. Unable to cope with the tremendous powers granted them, the survivors went mad, eventually joining forces as the Warguard in an attempt to conquer their home plant. It was only at the cost of thousands of lives that a U.N. military task force was able to put a stop to the Warguard rampage.

The Warguard are held in a state of cryogenic stasis on board Skywatch. The are to be loosed only in the event of gravest threat to the earth by outside forces.

One such threat was when Helspont , a Daemonite Lord, attempted to destroy the earth with the power of a Daemonite Dreadnought, the same one that brought the Daemonites to Earth.

After besting Stormwatch, and against Weatherman Two( Synergy )'s advice, Despot, along with Judgment , Talos , Hexon , Nychus , Stricture , and Doreen , were released to deal with Helspont . They had no such plans. Unable to control Despot, and with the Warguard and his son Strafe (a member of Stormwatch) under his control, he began a campaign of terror with resulted in the death of many Skywatch personal, the destruction of much of New York, and the death of two Stormwatch field commanders, Diva and Spartan . Only Battalion , Despot's other son and a Stormwatch field commander thought dead, was able to destroy him and even that required Spartan to sacrifice his life.
