Vecna lost his hand (and eye) due to a betrayal by his vampire lieutenant, Kas the Bloody-Handed Dungeons & Dragons Lore Wiki, who used a powerful sword crafted by Vecna himself to sever them, leaving the Hand and Eye as powerful magical artifacts. This event is from the lore of Dungeons & Dragons, the game that inspired the character in Stranger Things, though the show provides its own visual explanation for the missing limb.
The Hand of Vecna is a left limb of Vecna that became a magical artifact after it was detached. The hand is mummified, shriveled, and after it has been reattached, pulses with green energy.
Eleven was also one of the children in the Hawkins laboratory. 001 manipulates Eleven into removing the chip inserted by the scientists to controls 001. Eleven turns out to be responsible for sending 001 into the upside down by opening a portal and ultimately turning him into Vecna.
Arkhan had taken and attached the Hand of Vecna in the hopes to use such a powerful magic item to free his deity, the Scaled Tyrant, from her prison in Avernus, first of the Nine Hells). With the Hand in his possession, he Teleported to his keep in Avernus.
The cave was where Henry was first taken. This is why VECNA doesn't want to see it because it is HENRY'S way OUT of the trance.
Before they embark into the Upside Down, Will comes out as gay to his family and close friends, explaining that Vecna showed him visions of his failed and distant relationships with his loved ones after they learnt the truth.
Vecna did not stay gone forever, and rose as a demigod of magic and secrets in the world of Greyhawk. In 581 CY, his cult helped set events in motion that would have granted him the power of a greater god, but the plan was ultimately foiled.
It was during the Battle of a Thousand Eyes that Kas was propositioned by Nerull to slay his master and halt the magical genocide with the reward being a godly Boon. Kas, hungry for power, obeyed Nerull and used the blade gifted to him by Vecna to make an attempt on his life.
The Eye of Vecna is an animated magical item that was previously the left eye of Vecna. The eye and the Hand of Vecna were all that remained of him after he was destroyed in battle with Kas the Bloody-Handed. One must pull out their own eye to then permanently attune to the item.
Henry Creel, formerly dubbed One (001) and later known as Vecna, is one of the main antagonists of the Stranger Things franchise.
Yes, the Demogorgon did essentially "impregnate" Will in Stranger Things Season 1 by implanting a slug-like larva into him, using his body as a host to grow and produce more creatures for the hive mind, a process that was later revealed to be part of Vecna's larger plan. Will coughed up this larva, which then hatched into a polywog (stage two of the Demogorgon life cycle), demonstrating how the Upside Down creatures reproduce and spread, as seen with Barb Holland as well.
In reality, he was taken into custody by Dr. Brenner, as his mother wanted. At Hawkins National Lab, Henry became Brenner's first test subject and was given the name of Subject 001 "One".
The Mind Flayer repeated the same process on a larger and more complex scale with human beings, possessing Billy Hargrove and others; these possessed humans came to be known as "the Flayed". They were led by Billy and Heather Holloway, and had their minds hijacked by the Upside Down's hive mind.
In the beginning of the last episode, they couldn't decide on what to call him and so Robin said "Vecna/Henry/001". It's all one person, just different names, Victor is just his dad and he's only in the asylum because he killed his mom and sister and had him arrested like planned.
Vecna took the lives of Chrissy Cunningham, Fred Benson, Patrick McKinney and Max Mayfield.
Luke had come to accept himself with the hand, spiritually and mentally it was a part of him. So when the physical matter that comprised his body became one with the Force, it took all of him. Which from Luke's perspective included the hand.
Max Isn't Blind, But She's Not Completely Healed Either. It's not yet clear if Vecna's curse has done permanent damage to Max. When she first wakes up, Max can't see well or really move her muscles. As Vickie explains, that's to be expected since Max was in a curse-coma-trance for so many months.
Harpocrates (Ancient Greek: Ἁρποκράτης, Phoenician: 𐤇𐤓𐤐𐤊𐤓𐤈, romanized: ḥrpkrṭ, Coptic: ϩⲁⲣⲡⲟⲕⲣⲁⲧⲏⲥ harpokratēs) is the god of silence, secrets, confidentiality and a protector of reputations in the Hellenistic religion developed in Ptolemaic Alexandria (and also an embodiment of hope, according to Plutarch).
Elves and Dwarves are generally regarded as older races in DnD type worlds with Humans as the new masters... but you can seriously choose anything you want for a GM crafted world... just make sure you remember Cthulu.
Vecna, also known as the Whispered One, is a powerful, mortal-born archlich who achieved godhood. He is also known as the Undying King and the Lord of the Rotted Tower. He is played by Matthew Mercer.
Second edition sources agree that Kas was a living human when he betrayed Vecna, but gradually became a vampire while exposed to the forces of the Negative Energy Plane in Citadel Cavitius.
Arkhan the Cruel is a Dragonborn Barbarian/Paladin, and possibly the Chosen of Tiamat. He helped battle Vecna, and then stole the Lord of Secret's Hand, afterward. He serves the Queen of Evil Dragons, and you can run into him in DiA.
The hand of Vecna is described in the Encyclopedia Magica Volume II, an accessory for the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition, the original Baldur's Gate series is based upon. According to its entry, it will irreversibly replace a user's normal hand, leaving them one-handed even after removing it.
Yes, if you want to look at things objectively, El did create Vecna as he is today, although it really wasn't her fault. The massacre itself, and Vecna's return were both the result of Brenner's irresponsibility with the way he handled and was obsessed with Henry.
Demigod (Modern Canon): • In recent comics and the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), Wonder Woman is the daughter of Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, and Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons. This makes her a demigod, inheriting divine powers from her father while still being mortal.
