Years Active: "Thousands of years ago" to the present.
Ember is the cultural hero of the Dudaks, an ethnic group which shares the Eastern European country of Slorenia with the Slorenes (see Volkhvy's entry). "Thousands of years ago" a racial feud between the Dudaks and the Slorenes somehow became "infected with mystical power," which resulted in the creation of Ember and Volkhvy. Since then the two have at intervals taken possession of Dudaks and Slorenes in order to continue the age-old battle; whoever wins helps insure the dominance of their ethnic group. Ember can manipulate mystical energy.
Both Ember and Volkhvy, along with the Dudaks and the Slorenes, were killed by Ultron in the pages of Avengers.
