In the Horgon Era, on the world Osâchar, Molakh-Búle was a formidable warlord. When his homeworld fell victim to the Suellk during the Second Suellk Invasion ( 430 HE - 537 HE ) , Molakh-Búle and his most trusted lieutenants fled aboard the Shiphis Helas.

Three centuries later, in 862 HE, the ark of Molakh-Búle, which would subsequently become better known as the Spire of Molakh-Búle, landed on the world of Bal-Kriav. Settling on Gathrot isle, Molakh-Búle's retinue consisted of approximately 10,000 Durkoth ("the masters"), 3,000 Hydrocur ("the security force"), and 10,000 Sussgurd ("the servants"). Molakh-Búle, the founder of the Abâthigûr Empire, whose reign spanned from 862 HE to 1011 HE, had interests that extended across the isles of Necrocrypt to the Karnegmoth Region.

Molakh-Búle was one of the most formidable necromancers of the Horgon Era. On 19 Warper 1009 HE, utilizing a recipe from a book written by Maen Grirngrim, he transformed himself into a lich. He became an immortal, akin to his counterparts, the Saints of Maen. The Saints of Maen were immortal due to the magical devices, the Torcs of Maen Grirngrim, which were riveted to their skulls. Envious that he did not possess one, and aware of his approaching lifespan's end, he elected to pursue the Path of Undeath. The driving force behind this decision was his desire to prevent the ruin and disorder that would befall his empire, Abâthigûr, upon his demise. An egomaniac, Molakh-Búle believed that no one could manage Abâthigûr as well as he could. Though unsubstantiated, it is said he trapped Cinnuru Mine, Mulun'nâth, and other locations that would become refuges for Sussgurd rebels. Many of these rebels fell victim to necromantic magic, becoming undead that preyed on their former allies and the remnants of a dying empire.

Molakh-Búle's advancements to necromancy stem from his study of the works of Maen Grirngrim. These ancient tomes and scrolls, salvaged from the Suellk Invasion, were transported to Bal-Kriav. He continued this research, with the accumulated writings forming the foundation for the Dark Rite Library ; Midrêth 's premier library and research center dedicated to the study and advancement of necromancy and the undead. Some of the darker works found in this library established the founding principles of the Cult of Worms, ultimately leading to the corruption of Thasmudyan's soul.
