In the Dawn Era, Benevolence was one of the Creationists responsible for constructing the realms of the Mortal Systems. In 1315 DE, he brought the Theegan race into existence. During the Creation War, these mortal beings were designated to serve as garrison forces for the worlds of the Asteraoth System.

One of Benevolence's most renowned realms, forged from the energies of Chaos, is Sphere 411. Created in 1451 DE, it would become better known as the world Bal-Kriav. Shortly after this world's inception, a primordial named Geb was born between the sky-island Gurnskolf and the deep canyon below it, Basskaff - an event considered a primordial contamination. The world's creator sensed the disturbance but, in the goodness of their heart, chose to ignore it. This decision would come to haunt Benevolence, for during the Creation War (1486 DE - 8777 DE), the Nawirrûs Covenant had to contend with Geb siding with his Primordial brethren.

In 1482 DE, Benevolence crafted another human sub-race, the Nithians. Fashioned in his own likeness, yet fearful they might be eradicated by the primordials, he concealed them in temporal stasis. Sequestered within the Vaults of Ayaraigas, they would remain hidden for thousands of years until c. 2510 LE.

The Sussgurd were created by Benevolence in the year 1498 DE on the realm of Osâchar.

In 1510 DE, Benevolence manifested a colossal structure known as the Scion Steps. This edifice comprises nine rings of palaces and fortifications surrounding the entire Lok Gevild mountain. He constructed this unfathomably vast complex as a gift for his wife, Kesserine. Each of the nine rings was named after one of their children. When Kesserine revealed herself as the primordial Kirograne, a fierce battle erupted between husband and wife across the Scion Steps, yet it concluded within a single day. Benevolence's grief from slaying his former spouse led to the emergence of the Dead God Fountain. His sorrow did not subside, for a year and a day after Kesserine's demise, Benevolence too perished. Upon his death, his body transformed into stone and ascended skyward, becoming the Clouds of the Dead God.
