Every warior needs a weapon so venoms first quest was to find a legendary wepon this is were the story splits those who belived venom to be a male said hw went after the."sword of death" A sword that was imbued with great magic so the owner would increas in power by ten fold. of course such a sword was wanted by all so a bloody battle was ravaged over until one man stood his hands soaked with blood. as he went to draw the sword for his own the dark souls of the vanquised decided if they couldnt have the blade no one would they fused themselves with the blade causing it to release a dark aura and killed any mortal that layed hands on it luckily for him lord venom was imortal and survived this curse. (yea the catolog image isnt good going to work on that )
