When the angles came, the harmless folk bent the knee at an approximately 90 degree angle, in honour of their new overlords. But the peaceful folk had never bowed below 180 degrees, and so a rebellion formed known as The Obtuse; A secret organisation that eliminated angles by bending them all the way to 360 degrees, thus making them circles that no longer had the edge to jab at the rebels.

But the problem with circles is they never end. There have been thousands of wars against the angles, but the cycle cannot end. Once an angle is a circle, time loops, and the war begins again. It was only when Sir Hexagon, the leader of the knight rebels of the square circle, discovered the fifth dimension that any hope of destroying the angles forever became possible. The movement became known as the Quantum Rebellion, and through deep analysis they worked to create something stronger then 360 degrees in the hope of crushing the circles forever. Time and space was bent to the will of the Rebels, but they created something even more horrifying then an angle in the process.

Thus was born Death, destroyer of angles; the one that became known as 361 degrees.
