History[]
Unknown Time Period[]
Kado Thorne travels across Time and The Omniverse with his Time Machine in search of new artifacts for his collection. Eons ago, The Ancients encountered him on one of his travels. They feared him so much that they created The Apparatus, with the purpose to predict his arrival so they can make escape plans before it. Thorne's havoc across space and time caused him to became target of many vampire hunters, including the dark fae known as Shimmerdusk.
Chapter 4: Season 3[]
The ruins of the Ancients were discovered after the central part of the Island collapsed, revealing a huge underground rainforest. The ruins revealed the arrival of Kado Thorne through murals, glyphs and The Apparatus announcing an Eclipse that should be astrologically impossible.
Chapter 4: Season 4[]
Kado Thorne and Eclipse arrived on the Island and began to drain all the island's resources to build resorts, which are actually very well protected strongholds to house Thorne's collection and his Time Machine, which he wanted to use to collect items from Reality Zero's past as well as for a more sinister plan. They also took control of Rumble Ruins, and bought one of MEGA City's luxury restaurants as well as Slappy Shores' main Slap Factory, all of which they transformed into highly defended strongholds. They also took control of the Forecast Towers.
Around this time, Shimmerdusk arrives on the island to continue her hunt of Thorne.
Later, in an attempt to steal the Time Machine, Slone formed a Heist Crew consisting of Nolan Chance, Antonia, The Looper, Piper Pace, Fish Thicc, Mae, and Khaby Lame. During a heist attempt, the crew breaks into Eclipsed Estate and fights through multiple Commanding Cards before arriving at the Vault. Thorne then exited the Time Machine and found the intruders. After discovering them, Thorne transforms into his Revenant Form and tries to kill them, forcing the crew to flee.
After the Heist Crew's failure to steal the Time Machine, Thorne uses his Psionic powers to cause The Eclipse, which began with a permanent Super Blood Moon and Solar Eclipse. After that, Thorne remained in his Revenant form to protect his Time Machine himself. He also established his next target, "2018 07 12" the period of Season 5, when Athena Island undergoes “Worlds Collide.” However his plan wasn't about obtaining items for his collection, but something more sinister that is currently unrevealed.
However, after a second attempt, the Heist Crew managed to successfully steal the machine and take it to their base before Thorne's plan could take form.
With the Time Machine stolen, Shimmerdusk was free to make her move onto her plan to assassinate Thorne. Throughout the Fortnitemares 2023 Quests, she enlists the help of The Looper to prepare. She has them stock up on ammo, eliminate Thorne's Guards and Eclipse Agents, smash Thorne's valuables, etc. After weeks of preparing, she decides that they were ready and infiltrated his vault. She sends the Looper to battle Kado, and they successfully take him down. With Thorne dead, she declares that he will "no longer prey across time and space."
The fate of Eclipse and it's agents after Thorne's defeat is unknown.
Chapter 5: Season 1[]
After The Big Bang, various things such as the items from Kado Thorne's collection in Cloistered Castle as well as a painting of him placed just above a bed imply that Thorne has somehow returned despite his presumed death at the hand of The Looper and Shimmerdusk, and has migrated to Helios with the remnants of his collection.
Chapter 5: Season 2[]
Eclipse opened a small restaurant at Restored Reels.
