The REAL Villain of Doom | The Father | FULL Doom Lore EXPLAINED

The Father is an entity known by almost everyone on Earth. On our planet, he goes by the name of God, however, across the dimensions and universes of Doom, he went by many other names. Known as The Father, or VEGA, and with the help of Samur Maykr, The Father made tough decisions to save his creations.
Throughout the series, The Father adapted his form in order to become who he needed to be. Although regarded as a creator and hero, this entity has dark secrets that may even portray him as the villain of this story. Where did the ruler of the heavenly realm of Urdak actually come from? What role did he play in the war with the hellish realm of Jekkad, and how does his story end? In this video, I explore the lore and story behind the Icon of Sin in Doom.

I can't help but feel bad for doomguy. for as powerful as he is, he is only ever seen as a tool and even treated as such. Whenever the "Good Guys" are done with him, they just force him to sleep and put him away. He never gets to enjoy the fruits of his labor and is forced into a life of battle with no actual rest outside of what is essentially hibernation mode.

[@spencerthestupidsamurai7326]

The only way The Father is a real "villain" is by not having destroyed Davoth's life sphere when he had the chance. Davoth, as tragically unfortunate as his story may be, was becoming tyrannical and cruel in his search for his creations' immortality. Also, the Khan Maykr is a great example of what happens when someone's immortal for too long, they go fucking crazy.

[@unitynofear7758]

Davoth's tyranny (he was obviously a flawed creator) seems like a plot device, otherwise why would the Maykr rebel? Their created purpose was to aid the primary race as a sort of scientific angels with the single purpose to find a cure. And the path they went down eventually led to them also suffering from "transfiguration". Just a tragic story all around, and the greatest victims, oddly, seem to be the demons. Living in a world that degrades to Hell throughout who knows how long. In the game, demons seem to have "hatred for the living". It makes one wonder about what "transfiguration" is supposed to be. Maybe it's not just aging but an entropic degradation and mutation of society to produce more and more suffering.

[@mauriciolizarbe4835]

because she stole his power and split into two, this one will be sealed in the coffins of urdak while the other which a shard will be hiding in the mountains of encremon

[@rdowg]

​@unitynofear7758 because Papa Hugo decided to make the slayer and Davoth "twin entities put in this universe by some sort of pantheon of gods" (not a direct quote, but close enough) The story is all over the place, it seemed like they wrote themselves into a corner setting up the dark lord fight in a DLC, and the only way out was pretty much rewriting everythhing they added in tag1 lol

[@MILDMONSTER1234]

@@rdowg that’s what happens when you try to write story…. In a doom game 😂

[@RandomBeing101]

I thought that the life sphere was something supposed to be used to bring back the full body. Even if the Dark Lord's sphere gets destroyed, he would only be the presence much like the Father. That is why Doomguy wanted to bring Davoth's physical form not to help the demons, obviously, but to kill him so that anything outside of Hell would perish.

[@RockmanZero676]

We seriously need one more DOOM game in this timeline. Still way to many unanswered questions. Great video as always.

[@DIABETOR]

Great video. Just want to say that I feel like you missed what I believe is an important character detail: when the Slayer destroys VEGAs core to open the portal to hell, just before destruction he can be heard saying “I have many regrets, Dr. Hayden,” which I think demonstrates his benevolent nature. Though he was complicit in the heinous acts perpetrated by the UAC in the study, refinement, and production of Argent Energy, he was indeed able to recognize and express remorse for his actions even as he died.

[@Carcinogenic2]

But VEGA didn't 'die'. 'He' was transferred to other disk as the meltdown was happening.

[@kelmorian178]

If you paid attention to Doom Eternals dialogue, no where did Davoth claim to be God. He did admit to be the creator of Jekkad and Urdak but not of Argent DeNur or Terra. The end twist of Doom Eternal is that Urdak is a deceptive replication of Heaven, which Davoth made. And Jekkad is basically the first attemp heaven but failed in time that became Hell. The title of First Being for Davoth implicates many things, such as the first Primeval of his kind or the First to arrive at this dimension. To call him 'God' is way overrated. He clearly has no power over mortality for his own creations and even tried to sacrifice other planets' denizens just to prolong it. Other than Davoths own statement about his own divinity, Hugo Martin even reinstated there is a TrueGod above Davoth that remains a mystery to be found.

[@TheLikenessOfNormal]

Yeah and then adding onto that it would make more sense with the elemental wraiths and how the Maykrs wanted them and their power and by extension if the Ancient Wraiths chose the doom slayer then he and Davoth would be at about the same level of divinity.

[@VeritabIlIti]

I think it's more a matter of trying to simplify the pantheon for sake of the video. The DLCs were called The Ancient GODS, after all

[@TheUncivilizedNation]

It’s said that Davoth crossed the void. And where he first stood live bloomed. Which would imply that on the other side of the void that Davoth came from there’s something or someone there

[@akspe22mam]

[@Archon3960]

Shoud we actually separate VEGA and the Father as different characters? If so, then yes, I would be willing to consider the Father an unwanting villain. He rose up against His Master, usurped his power, and sealed him away. And yet, we can wonder if Davoth truly was threatening all of creation with his search for immortality. If so, then we could consider the Father's actions as benevolent, if a bit misguided. But if not, then the Father is indeed responsible for every problem in the Modern Doom timeline. :/

I want to know why the Mykers thought that the secret of immortality was too dangerous for Davoth to know. Because obviouslly he became something just as dangerous if not more so without the secret. Plus Davoth is already immortal, so why were the mykers scared about giving the humans immortality?

Because they needed humans to die

[@darkmarine50]

I kinda feel bad for the Khan Maykr, she was doing everything on her power to not get transfigured, but also was smart enough to time perfectly herself fighting the Doom Slayer as she was transfiguring, she knew the Doom Slayer would stop her so she wouldn't be a danger as she transfigured and corrupted herself.

[@PJOZeus]

Shame it wasn’t communicated better to the slayer Maybe she couldn’t have conveyed it as her twisted nature would attempt to manipulate him but at least she may still inow

[@Jarock316]

Still doesn't make it right to sacrifice billion of innocent lives.

[@Tetrohedracon]

Why would the Father abandon the Mykers if he knew they needed him in order to make a new Khan every 10,000 years? The excuse given was that "they didn't want Davoth to break free", but specifically goes to Earth knowing that humans would discover Argent energy. We also know the Sarephem exist outside of all known universes and are watching us from where Davoth came from.

[@Skyrionn]

I'm hoping that in a new Doom game - we'll get some more information and maybe something to fill in these issues.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

But where do the wraith come from? They seem to have their own thing going separate from the rest and their own unique godlike abilities and technology seemingly beyond even the makers. They make me feel like there is some even bigger threat out there and these beings are just pawns in a greater multiverse. Because why did they build a planet sized ship that's indestructible and launch themselves at a planet to transform it's creatures into a warrior race? There is some huge untold story potential there obviously! I haven't played the later games but the lore is getting very, almost lovecraftian you could say.

[@Tetrohedracon]

@@DeathBYDesign666 the wraith also had the Saraphs watching from inside the ship. And Remember the Father said "He is worthy" before the wraith allowed that bridge to rise from the water. Clearly the father and wraith are connected.

Not just in Doom and Berserk. Fromsoft's RPG's are full of selfish, psychopathic, or otherwise malevolent deities wanting nothing but power and the ability to prolong their own existence.

[@Tetrohedracon]

Davoth says before our final battle "I give purpose to life, where there is none." .. This makes it sound like Davoth knows the truth about creation, like he knows that humans are nothing but pawns in a "Ritual" beyond all comprehension. His existence gives OUR lives meaning, what did he mean by that? Perhaps Davoth, upon finding out the truth, tried to rebel against the True God which is why he was sealed away. This would explain how a Non- primeeval, The Myker father, was able to defeat him.

[@PJOZeus]

Much like Davoth gave the Mykers technology, perhaps the next higher level of being gave the father some gift

[@gameover9390]

Unless the creators are going for some lovecrafting lore I think it may be not so much a ritual, as it is a factor added to make Creation more entertaining to it’s creator. I don’t mean in the meta way, I mean that an omnipotent being created creation as form of entertainment, watching flawed beings have to deal with problems and things that can overcome(something that would be Alien to an omnipotent being)

[@DS-wl5pk]

Oh, it makes sense now why the Icons Of Sun don’t truly die unless sealed away with The Crucible Blade. They are the physical embodiments of his rage and I’d go so far as to say extensions of himself directly. Why? Reality shifts around Davoths presence, just as it does with the Icons

[@myself8354]

It would be cool if the future doom games focused a little more on the psychological aspects of the demons. They are very cunning as well as brutal. The demons obviously can't defeat the doom slayer physically. So it makes sense they would try mentally. For example his wife and son could be in hell being tortured and the demons offer them back in exchange for his surrender. But the doom slayer remembers the deal they made with the betrayer and how they screwed him over. So the doom slayer could go berserk and go on a rampage through the arena. It would be a very cool moment story wise and also gameplay wise.

They changed the Doom lore... Originally Doom was basically biblical from the Christian religion, and now they changed into something completely different, and it is pretty dumb in my opinion. What made Doom scary, good, and controversial in the original one at least was the fact that this was supposed to be based of the biblical story from the abrahamic religions. That is why in "Doom 3", you hear Latin, Hebrew, and Aramaic. They also use a lot of symbol that you'll find religion and such. They interviewed the people who made the first Doom as well as Doom 3 and confirmed it was the hell from the Bible. Now they remade it, and this is really stupid.

The story may have many incoaistencies, but turning "God's" fate into being a computer program powered by Hell (IntHell Inside) was probably the most interesting aspect of all of this.

So, basically, Doom Guy - before he was turned into the Doom Slayer - stopped a Hell Invasion on Mars, travelled to Hell, defeated the Icon of Sin in Hell and reached (on purposed or accidentally) Argent D'nur, right? Argent D'nur was alredy under the control of the Khan Maykr, and Doom Guy was integrated in the ranks of the Night Sentinels to fight the demonic invasion of Argent D'nur (Said invasion was, directly or indirectly, within the responsibility and command of the Khan Maykr who herself fell under the influence of the Dark Lord). While influencing the Khan Maykr, the Dark Lord also influenced Sam to infuse his (the Dark Lord's) essence in Doom Guy, so he could become the Doom Slayer and fight the Dreadnaught? But how did Argent D'nur fall to the demonic invasion? Why is there Argent Energy in Hell? Were some pieces of Argent D'nur absorbed by Hell? Was the fall of Argent D'nur only possible after the imprisonment of the Slayer in the Cursed Sarcophagus? Did the Dark Lord weaved a web of manipulation so convoluted and complex that involved the destruction of entire worlds and primordial beings just so the Slayer would resurrect him?

How could the "external drive" sustain Vega, if it took extreme levels of heat/power to sustain him?

The external drive has enough space on it to hold his data. It does not have the capabilities to actually run him. IIRC, we don't hear from VEGA again after destroying the super computer he was on. It isn't until Doom Eternal that we actually hear from VEGA again, since Doomguy ends up putting VEGA inside the Fortress of Doom's system, which I'm assuming has insane levels of energy to power VEGA's data, seeing as it's Argenta tech.

Fathers get no breaks even in video games these days...

[@alexandrerobert2656]

incredible job merci nouveau souscrit

[@_hello_yellow9825]

This was great, well done!

[@CloverLuck_]

Davoth must've been sitting in his life sphere like "bruh literally 1984"

[@No_longer_human911]

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO, THANK YOU, THANK YOU AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THANK YOU 😭

[@zollof6699]

I'm not too sure I'd call the Father a villian. It's not made clear (unless I missed something) if the Seraphim that became the Father was directly involved in imprisoning Davoth to begin with. But lets assume he was. All he ever really did was try to keep Hell contained and make sure the races and the Maykrs were left alone by Hell. I always argue that non of this might have happened had they not imprisoned Davoth to begin with. In the end, Samyr Makyr seems more of the secondary antagonist. But he is the will of the Father as well I suppose. It's a tough call. I'm curious what happens to the dimensions after the Gods influence has ceased. If they just kept their fingers in their own business, maybe peace would just have been natural.

[@bradschultz1470]

AWESOME!

[@dannydorito2954]

Me, a protestant who loved the original doom for the simplicity of "Demons are invading": This... Now this is TRULY blasphemous...

[@Skyrionn]

I can imagine this may have upset some of the religious folk

[@ianmarais9403]

Then 1 day Doom guy bursts from the warp and starts to hunt the terranids

[@shaunketterman2985]

There were moments in this game where it felt like Hayden was Vince McMahon and Doom Slayer was Austin.

[@archiji806]

amazing!

[@Skyrionn]

Thanks!

[@henrydorsett6076]

Just finished the ancient gods. Still just understand the half of it. Thanks for this elusive LSD trip :)

[@SkydreamPony]

Off topic - what is that song that plays during the Closing Thoughts section? It sounds familiar but I can't recall it.

[@Tetrohedracon]

What if the secret of immortality threatend all creation because creation was DESIGNED by the True god, to die. Davoth came through the void and created Jakkad and the first humans but clearly he was not their true creator, since he couldnt control their mortality. Immortality is a direct threat to the true meaning of creation and its purpose, THAT'S WHY the Mykers betrayed Davoth and sealed him away then continued to make and consume dimensions with his stolen power. This could also be why the Mykers say that they are letting OTHERS sacrifice in their place so that they may prosper. They need the argent energy to keep from transfiguration, which is what they were originally designed to do.

[@Judge_Zion]

very interesting

[@Skyrionn]

Glad you think so!

[@aaronarmstrong406]

Love it!

[@BelisariusSPQR]

Could you make a video on the Metroid (Prime) timeline?

[@IrisDImtv]

Lore like this makes me want to play Doom as a ttrpg

[@SplotchTheCatThing]

29:38 "the destruction of The Well had resulted in unforeseen consequences" you liked that one, did you? :)

[@_oig]

Wooww, good video :)

[@subjectc7505]

I think the Father was a mix between good and bad, he saw his creator fall into madness because of his fear of being alone but how he did it was wrong. Then tried erasing Davoth from thier history, because his people was the one who created hell by not giving what he wanted. By the Codex, Davoth really loved his people and wanted them to have the best life possible but was limited to what he could do. Any god would be frustrated🤷🏽‍♂️.

[@spencerthestupidsamurai7326]

"Any god would be frustrated🤷🏽‍♂" For some reason, I just find the way you phrased that to be hilarious, idk why.

[@subjectc7505]

@@spencerthestupidsamurai7326 it's true😂 like ours

[@RandomBeing101]

I mean, like you've stated, Davoth has eventually became corrupted that he would later use his powers for evil. I mean, it's not like the Father had a choice but to stop his madness.

[@oatmeal7818]

Soon or later Davoth would became more and more evil. Father or a proto Father forseen this. He was correct to lock Jekeard and Davoth from other dimensions. It was the only way. The mistake was not kill Davith when was possible.

[@Kommander696]

Phenomenal!

[@ComfortsSpecter]

12:43 *Wheeze* Well That’s Some Godly Writing

[@GRasputin91]

I cannot be certain but im pretty sure this story was influenced by the wad Eviternity, which has basically the same plot. Except the villain is called "Archangelus"

[@snodog00]

The problem I forsee is that while the Doom Slayer destroyed the Fathers life sphere, where did all of that power go? Did it simply evaporate into the ether? It has to be out there somewhere, and the Father probably has a way to reaquire it with all the systems of Urdak at his disposal. It wouldnt surprise me if the next game was either during the Fathers attempt at aquiring his power or already has.

[@CyanDumBell_MC]

now I'm curious if quake have any cool lore in it

[@rustyburrito5912]

What is the organic architecture near the life spheres? It looks so cool

[@samuelhayden4710]

I was a lil sus early on. I reached my breaking point when Vega talked about him being the Father.

[@JohnF.Wokkennedy]

at 8:41 between the towers there, it looks like a face watching over the area

[@Tetrohedracon]

How do we know the God who created Davoth didn't do so with the intention of harvesting humans? Hugo Martin said that Davoth and Doom Guy are basically the same, but Davoth failed to save his world, Doom Guy didn't. Save their world from what? What was Davoth trying to defend his world from? Clearly there is some grand scheme made by the TRUE god that doesn't have humans best interest in mind...

[@Tetrohedracon]

Also when Doom Guy kills the Khan Myker, who is the one screaming "Noooooo..." what purpose was she providing to the True realm of the God's? Why was there such a reaction when she was killed?

[@Drugon-Dag]

​@Tetrohedracon hugo also said that the reason why doom slayer and davoth look alike is connected with the mysterious voice that said "nooooo."

[@emilianomorbidoni7903]

Nice

[@loganasesorlagsub6460]

Doom Slayer is basicly a God of war but kills everything that's demonic or evil

[@Ohimeshinso]

The real villain is whoever decided not to tell Devoth about the immortality findings.

[@JamesMadisonsSpiritAnimal]

I hadno idea doom lore went so hard

[@lordlynkz]

Doom eternal had so much piggyback energy off the honest hit that was 2016... but damn will i take another.

[@Mormegil452]

In the beginning…(started to eat popcorn after a long day)

[@austinbradley8551]

So you mean to tell me that vega and samuel wont get attacked when doom guy are away becuase there pretty much dooms version of god and diciple, also when the slayer made a new version of vega was actually adorable

[@its_soulreaper7552]

crazy how similar it is to some writtings we know today.. kinda makes me wonder if we too worship someone who stole the power of the original creator.
