He also inspired Zolton Drago who became the first Mister Fear. His plan was stopped by the gods Thor and Hercules who fought the Shade-Thralls and destroyed them. These humans would then kill themselves but turn into Shade-Thralls, powerful creatures who served the Dweller, but were vulnerable to light. In the 20th century, the Dweller appeared in the dreams of many humans and told them that they would gain eternal life if they died. D'Spayre remained his most powerful creation though. During this time the Dweller created other beings with a similar purpose, including the demoness Spite.

D'Spayre manipulated a tribesman to kill Zhered-Na and Zhered-Na's student, Dakimh the Enchanter battled D'Spayre over the next millennia, while D'Spayre tried to generate enough fear on Earth to free his creator. When Atlantis sank, the Dweller absorbed the fear of the inhabitants and used it to create D'Spayre and ordered him to kill Zhered-Na in revenge. The Atlantean sorceress Zhered-Na discovered the existence of the Dweller and banished him with the help of Agamotto and the Atlantean god Valka.

When he first came to Earth, 20,000 years ago, the Dweller-in-Darkness fed upon the fears created by the wars between the humans of Atlantis and the Deviants of Lemuria. Like Nightmare, the Dweller fed on the fear of living beings, fear both increased his powers and kept him alive.

The Dweller considered Nightmare to be his 'cousin', a designation Nightmare rejected, knowing the Dweller's full origins, and stating that he had no cousin and especially not the Dweller, for he had chosen the way of the Shamblu.Nightmare, according to the Dweller, degraded himself by adopting his shape and by living in exile among the Lower Universes.

The Dweller turned his back on his people by following the Way of the Shamblu, in disembodying his head and existing in physical form. Seemingly originating in the Sixth Cosmos (or even earlier) was a demon that originated from the dimension Everinnye, and was was the embodiment of humanity's collective fear. Like each of the Fear Lords, the Dweller-in-Darkness was a mystery, and his origin (or even his very existence) was known to few.
