in the earliest of hakuowlo's memories, he is seen as an unnamed archeological researcher who stumbles upon uitsalnemetea's fossil hidden in an advanced laboratory. an unknown scientist catches him and explains that he did not want anyone to know of this forgotten deity; the "missing link" in human evolution—for he felt that it should not exist. to protect the secret, he shoots the archeologist, whose blood lands on the fossil. this awakens uitsalnemetea, who restores him to life in exchange for taking his body as a vessel. as a symbol of the contract, he wears the mask which represents uitsalnemetea.
