Created by Bruh Kreniik, Phalgas was one of thirty-seven Talaxan forged as a new race. The plan was for them to populate the world of Ilabizdum. Expanding across worlds and systems, the Creation War (1486 DE - 8777 DE) never allowed this to happen. They were sent to the Nawirrûs Covenant, serving across the battlefields of Sphere 411 and her moons.

Member of the Golden Seven, Phalgas helped bring down great primordial monstrosities and their primordial lords. He had a number of goodly orders that served under him. They served as healers, some proselytizers and others crusaders against the Covenant's primordial enemies. One of the more notable of these orders was the Phalgas Chosen. Heroes of hundreds of missions, they tracked down and defeated Nakh-Zennîm. The place of its end came to be known as Mindwrack. The crack team under Phalgas fell mad with their foe's demise. They ran mad, attacking former friends, some went suicidal, others were slowly drained of their conscience. At great cost, Phalgas and four others were retrieved. They ended up in the med bays of Ptah, in the hands of the only one skilled enough to repair their mental state.

On 27 Hollow 9050 GE, having acquired sufficient divine power, Phalgas ascended. As a Cult Power, he took the energy and brightness of the stars, the so-called Sun Domain, as his Focus. It was decision based on his understanding that the stars had been around since the beginning, always eternal in a Sea of Entropy. His priests teach that the stars are anchors for Creation. Their sermons spread the idea that stars are anchors for negative entropy. They keep the tide of chaos from getting too strong. They warn their listeners of what happens when this becomes unbalanced. They point to the Lost Ages and its mysteries and the devastation of the Creation War and the Demons Spawn War. The priests of the Church of Phalgas learn the deeper aspects of all this. They learn that the stars keep a balance, and that worlds are the magnets for negative entropy, the whole a matrix of interlocked energy, protecting civilization from again becoming mere flotsam of the Sea of Entropy.

On 3 Bliss 9111 GE, Phalgas, Athena and Danzar-Khâl took down a primordial behemoth named the Nine-Tongued Worm. When Phalgas delivered the killing blow, he absorbed some of the primordial's power. By the Rule of Divine Conquest, this acquired power was converted, becoming Phalgas's second domain, Healing.

An enemy of the undead, Phalgas is a staunch enemy of their patron god Thasmudyan. Phalgas was a enemy of undead long before the rise of Thasmudyan. He learned to combat undead under a fellow Golden Seven member named Ditherra.

As a holy power, Phalgas is against spells that cross the bounds when it comes to destroying such creatures. An example would be calling upon the more wicked of the Beasts of Ditherra, like rot reavers or necrothanes.

In 1087, Lokestant was born to Phalgas and Tempestant.
