Pagan knew that Lady Death‘s appearance in Hell prophesied a Judgment Era. And moments later when he thought that, Lucifer was killed and Hell started to fall apart. Pagan then schemed of how to get rid of Lady Death and sent a hydra to pull Lady Death into the Nexus of all Things. It broke the connection Lady Death had with Evil Ernie, and he sought passage to hell to avenge his lady. In the meantime Pagan forged the alliance with the Trinity of Evil, who wanted to conquer Hell. Ernie managed to enter Hell, but Pagan deceived him and sent him against Cremator, blaming him for Lady Death’s disappearance.
He then joins newly resurrected Lucifer and they travel to Earth to make it their own. Pagan takes an alias of Adam Appel, an entertainer in casino Inferno. Pagan cheats the chip made by Leonard Price out of some scientists, and it is used to grow Lucifer’s influence in Las Vegas. Pagan haven’t lost his trickster ways and goes on annoying Lady Death and overhearing Heaven’s plans. After Lucifer Engine is destroyed, Lucifer decides to sneak into Heaven and take God’s throne.
Armageddon arrived and the world was destroyed when he died. One of Pandora Effect survivors remolded the universe and created eight worlds. Pagan was also recreated and he arrived on Earth dubbed Dark Millennium. He joined the demon race under Asteroth leadership. One day Lady Death arrived to seek Asteroth’s assistance. She demanded that Pagan must be punished for killing her Nameless Wolf. Asteroth agreed but the punishment was to be without blood. Lady Death then turned Pagan into a dog, as he still wore the wolf’s skin. Soon after his transformation, Pagan sided with Purgatori and let the Nocturne‘s grimoire stolen from Lady Death. He let Purgatori read the inscription to release Abaddon. But Pagan played her and he himself was turned into living embodiment of Abaddon. He then went to Nocturne and took her as his pride. Pagan couldn’t enjoy his new power for long, as Lady Death came and struck him with the Apocalypse. Abaddon’s power left Pagan and he again escaped.
He traveled to next earth and joined other Hell lords in resurrecting Lucifer again, their plan worked.
