 Dross started out as a spherical metal memory construct meant to record and repeat information. As a "grand work" designed to enhance [[Northstrider]]'s mind, he was considered a failure and discarded as dross (hence his name). Then he fell (or was tossed) into the mind-sharpening Dream Well water. He dubbed himself "The Keeper of the Well" (ch 5). He floated there alone for fifty-six years. After a while, he became sentient, and it was five years after this point that [[Wei Shi Lindon Arelius|Wei Shi Lindon]] found him.

 With permission from Dross, Lindon removed Dross from his rusted ball and merged him with an Eye of the Deep orb, with its sapphire eye (Ghostwater ch 7). From then on, Lindon carried Dross around Ghostwater, who provided help with navigation and information. En route, Dross absorbed the power of the Spirit Well and the Life Well, gaining madra channels, a core, and a physical skin. In Ghostwater, he was temporarily absorbed into the Tree, giving him the knowledge on how to complete himself as a Presence. He mixed ghostwater, water from the three Wells, and Northstrider's soulfire to create a substance which Lindon then helped him absorb. He fused to Lindon, abandoning the Eye of the Deep, and became a baby Presence.

 “Oh, we will make sure you grow. Yes…” Eithan’s smile slowly widened until Lindon would have called it manic. “Planted in the fertile soil of Lindon’s spirit, we will grow you until you dwarf Dreadgods and tower over Monarchs! The world itself will struggle to contain you! When I fear I have set my sights too far, I find that I was not ambitious enough! Who will dare to hold us back when we have such an ally? Let the day you completed Northstrider’s work be known as the day that the very foundations of history trembled!”(Underlord, ch 7)</blockquote>
