In an occult transfusion, he replaced his blood entirely with the water of the Cauldron, giving him immortality. Now undead himself, Melmoth survived another five hundred years before he discovered the current location of the Undry Cauldron, which has the power to bring the dead back to life. His kingdom was destroyed by the last remnants of King Arthur's Knights, who destroyed his capital with an atomic weapon.

However, at the First Fall of Camelot, in 8000 BC, he was finally deposed by his wife, who took the name Gloriana Tenebrae and crowned herself Queen. Seeing how his kingdom had benefited from the cast-offs of a long-dead civilization, he repeated the procedure on other ancient civilizations.
