Somnus

Carl Valentino met Daken in Tortonto, Canada in 1967, where the two had a one-night stand. Because of Carl's oneiromancy, Daken dreamed that they had shared an entire life together as romantic partners. This scared Daken off, and the two would never meet again after that night.

While Daken progressed through the following decades without aging much at all, Carl went on to marry a woman and started a family with her, eventually dying of old age without ever having come out of the closet. Daken, who had long forgotten about him by that point, saw Carl's obituary and was reminded of their brief tryst. After attending Carl's funeral, Daken retrieved the former's body from its casket and brought it back to Krakoa, where he was soon resurrected by the Five as his younger self. With this new lease on life, Carl rechristened himself as Somnus.
