Tokiko Minoru bested the magical entity known as the One with a thrall army twice the size of the One's. After her victory, she presented the One with a choice: to die or to become "her sword." He chose the latter and, upon agreeing on the terms, he became the Staff of One, a weapon passed down through the Minoru bloodline for generations including The Gloom.
