Myresto Mor

Myresto Mor's History

Myresto was an ancient being who existed before the creation of the Earth dimension. According to Wolfram & Hart, his origins were completely theoretical; he may have predated both the Powers That Be and Old Ones and was powerful enough to frighten the Senior Partners.

Myresto had a sister named Rowant Mor, with whom he had a sexual relationship. She claimed ownership over Earth, and, at some point, Myresto purchased the dimension from her. He took on humanoid form and created the persona of Jamaerah, a Potentate, to assist in examining his property.

"Potentate"

As James, Myresto introduced himself to Angel, the ensouled vampire Champion of Los Angeles. He claimed to be a Potentate, a race of warrior angels who answered to the Powers That Be. According to James' story, an army of Potentates were sent to battle the Senior Partners' evil forces during the Fall of Los Angeles. Afterwards, they were supposedly captured and James taken to a hospital, where he met Angel. To vouch for his authenticity, James created an illusion of Angel's former ally Cordelia Chase to talk to him.

Angel aided James in his search for the other Potentates; however, they discovered that the Potentates were killing humans for crimes that they had yet to commit, and Angel turned on them. James sided with Angel and fought against his former allies. As the Potentates retreated, since killing Angel was not their mission, James remained with Angel Investigations.

Exposed

James served with Angel Investigations for some time, forming good relationships with his teammates. However, with the arrival of former Watcher Laura Weathermill and her Monasterenser magnaserm Polyphemus on the team, James's true purpose was revealed. His deception exposed, he knocked out Laura and escaped after tearing off Angel's hands and feet. He summoned the soul eater demon Liss to eliminate Angel and Spike while he prepared his plans to take control of this new world. With Angel Investigations distracted, James donated food to Anne Steele's shelter, intending to prepare her residents to become new hosts for his demonic hoard.

Angel was transported into a possible future where Myresto's unleashed demonic forces have conquered the world. Angel allied with Illyria, who had traveled after him, to stop Myresto in the future, but they found that Rowant had just killed Myresto.

In the present, Connor and Laura tried to find information about Myresto from the newly-reactivated Wolfram & Hart Los Angeles branch. Myresto's warrior demons went after the team; at that time, Angel returned and used against Myresto the vanishing gem he acquired from the future. A portal absorbed the gem, and Myresto survived the attack. However, Connor was able to use his newfound powers to transfer the demonic baby from Anne to Myresto and ultimately destroy him.
