They embody forces of nature in the <a href="/wiki/DC_Universe" title="DC Universe">DC Universe</a>. They are depicted as among the most powerful beings in the world of these characters,<sup id="cite_ref-dc-ency_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dc-ency-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and are distinct in this universe from gods, which are created by mortal belief. The character Dream is the <a href="/wiki/Protagonist" title="Protagonist">protagonist</a> of <i>The Sandman</i> series, but all the Endless beings play major roles. </p><p>The Endless are a <a href="/wiki/Dysfunctional_family" title="Dysfunctional family">dysfunctional family</a> of seven siblings. They appear in different forms but are most often depicted as having very white skin and black hair, with the exception of redheads Delirium and Destruction. Their appearance often changes to fit the expectations of those they meet or the situation they are in.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Function">Function</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Endless_(comics)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Function"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the comic book, The Endless spend most of their time fulfilling their functions as embodiments of natural forces. For example, <a href="/wiki/Death_of_the_Endless" title="Death of the Endless">Death</a> leads the souls of the dead away from the realm of the living, while Dream oversees the realm of dreams, nightmares and imagination. One notable facet of their depiction is that none of them are "representations" or "personifications" of their function; as cosmic beings, they simply <i>are</i> their function. In <i>The Sandman</i> (vol. 2) #48, Destruction gives a further description of the Endless: </p> <blockquote><p>The Endless are merely patterns. The Endless are ideas. The Endless are <a href="/wiki/Wave_function" title="Wave function">wave functions</a>. The Endless are repeating motifs. The Endless are echoes of darkness, and nothing more... </p></blockquote> <p>As portrayed, some Endless beings are more committed to their work than others. The younger Endless, particularly Desire, are known to interfere with mortal life. Destruction, also known as "The Prodigal," abandoned his duty entirely. </p><p>Each of the Endless has a realm in which they are sovereign. Within their realm, all members of the Endless have a gallery containing symbols, or <a href="/wiki/Sigil_(magic)" class="mw-redirect" title="Sigil (magic)">sigils</a>, of the other Endless beings. The Endless may contact each other by holding the appropriate sigil and calling for that member of the Endless. Destiny is also able to summon his siblings by using his gallery of portraits, whether they want it or not (as seen in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Sandman:_Overture" title="The Sandman: Overture">The Sandman: Overture</a></i>). </p><p>The Endless beings, in addition to monitoring their area of influence, exist to define their opposites. This dualistic feature of the Endless has been affirmed by Death, who is present at both the beginning and conclusion of every existence. Destruction enjoys creative/constructive activities like painting, poetry, and cookery. Dream appears to have the ability to modify reality, as demonstrated in <i>The Sandman</i> (vol. 2) #18 titled "A Dream of a Thousand Cats" in which a great number of beings dream of an alternate universe and create it. </p><p>The exact limits of the powers the Endless may use are subject to debate and speculation by readers, but are set by rules (such as Dream being forbidden to kill dreamers unless they become a vortex, in which case killing becomes an obligation). It is unknown if the Endless are capable of using their powers on those more powerful or more ancient than they are. At one point when Dream heads into Hell to rescue a former lover of his, he admits that his power will allow him entrance, but that he does not know if he would be able to defeat <a href="/wiki/Lucifer_(DC_Comics)" title="Lucifer (DC Comics)">Lucifer</a>, who is a former archangel created by <a href="/wiki/Presence_(DC_Comics)" title="Presence (DC Comics)">The Presence</a> (the DC Comics analogue of God). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Origin">Origin</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Endless_(comics)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Origin"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the comic, The Endless are as ancient as the ideals they symbolize. The Endless are claimed to predate fairies, gods, angels, and other supernatural entities. Their precise ages in years are unclear, although they are believed to have existed long before life on Earth; Destruction claims in "Brief Lives" that he has carried out his responsibilities for 10 billion years (not including the prior three centuries). Their mother is Night and their father is Time.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In <i>The Sandman</i> (vol. 2) #5, "Passengers," Dream is recognized by <a href="/wiki/Martian_Manhunter" title="Martian Manhunter">Martian Manhunter</a> as the dream god on ancient <a href="/wiki/Mars" title="Mars">Mars</a>, as well as in the <i><a href="/wiki/The_Sandman:_Endless_Nights" title="The Sandman: Endless Nights">Endless Nights</a></i> chapter "Dream: The Heart of the Star," which takes place before our <a href="/wiki/Sun" title="Sun">Sun</a>'s planets have developed life. Dream states in <i>The Sandman</i> (vol. 2) #16 that once another world was lost to a vortex. Death has claimed that she was there when the first living thing stirred, and Destiny has said that Dream gave the Earth itself the fond dream of being able to support life. Dream, according to Abel, was created shortly after Death, as living things are born before they can dream. </p><p>One of the few mentions to Endless paternity comes in <i>The Sandman</i> (vol. 2) #70, where some type of sentient being in the Necropolis Litharge that protects the emblems of each Endless weeps "like a mother mourning for her departed child." The Endless's father is Time and their mother is Night, as revealed in <i>The Sandman: Overture</i> #5. Night is joined by Dusk, who was described by illustrator J. H. Williams III as Dream's "distant sister." However, Neil Gaiman has stated that this was only J. H. Williams III's speculation and there is nothing in canon that shows she is connected to them. The screenplay solely refers to her as an attendant. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Endless">The Endless</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Endless_(comics)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: The Endless"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Endless are not known to have proper names, although Dream has a habit of collecting different names for himself.

The book is chained to him (or he is chained to the book), and within the book is written the entire sum of existence, past, present and future. Destiny seems the most possessed by his function and responsibilities of any of the Endless. He rarely demonstrates much personality. His sigil is his book.

She is by far the most pleasant of The Endless, being kind and personable to almost everyone; encountering her upon dying feels like "meeting an old friend".

He dresses in a shapeless cloak of "night" with "flames dancing in its folds". His eyes are pools of shadows with glimmers of light within. He is known by many names, most commonly "Morpheus". He has a long history of insensitivity towards others, and throughout <i>The Sandman</i>, he must come to deal with his past cruelties. He is very concerned with fulfilling his responsibilities. His sigil is his dream-helm, made from the spine and skull of a long-dead god. Dream's personal realm/domain is called "The Dreaming".

Before becoming the new Dream at the end of <i>The Sandman</i>, he was a young boy named Daniel, which he later retains as a name.

Destruction abandoned his duty as an Endless three hundred years ago, causing strife among his siblings. He did so because he refused to bear responsibility for the scientific ruin that followed the Enlightenment. Since leaving his domain called "The Fulcrum" which is caught in an explosion that is suspended, the other Endless have referred to him as "the Prodigal" or "Brother" instead of "Destruction". He has a strong desire to be creative and productive, yet he lacks skill. A sword is his symbol.

Desire has a cruel streak and a long-standing rivalry with Dream, their relationship deteriorating eons ago after Desire caused Dream to fall in love with a woman who ultimately left him for another.
