Arishem (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

“	You have chosen to sacrifice a Celestial for the people of this planet. I will spare them, but your memories will show me if they are worthy to live. And I will return, for judgement.	„

Summary

Arishem the Judge is the Prime Celestial, who is credited for causing the Big Bang, creating the universe, and bringing light to the universe, ending the Ginnungagap. He is the first of the Celestials, who came before the very dawn of creation, and their leader. Millions of years ago, Arishem created the Deviants in order to aid in Celestial births, but when his creations went rogue, the Judge created the race of Eternals using the World Forge, in order to combat the Deviants who were interfering in his work.
