History [SPOILERS]

Midas is a genie created out of pure darkness. He was one of many genies who served the Masters of Darkness in the Holy War alongside the Army of Darkness. He made many friends who all fell in the war serving the masters who wished upon the genies to win the war for them. They were all exploited for their magic, Midas included. They all bonded together, regardless of their war efforts. In the end of the war, most of the genies fell in combat or were sealed away. Midas, out of sheer luck, was the only one who survived. His lamp broke, however. He was alone and had all of his memories to disappear and never come back.

He lived in the Underground Maze in Neksdor for as long as he could remember. It was the only place that felt like home to him. So he made it his home and isolated himself from the world for hundreds upon hundreds of years. Spending his years sleeping for days and nights, using his magic to keep himself entertained. However, he decided to use his magic on the outside world and found enjoyment in being selfish and a prankster to the Neksdorian townsfolk. He felt like he owned the place. His chaos has gotten so bad that it even caught the attention of Merlin.

Merlin and the Queen of Neksdor worked together to create a lamp that can seal the genie. With her magic and the Queen's riches, they made a lamp of light to seal the genie. In order for him to be sealed, Merlin used an incantation, which is just repeating the Genie's name, and with enough strength, Midas was sealed within the lamp and thrown away to where no one can ever find him. Unlike the dark magic of his previous lamp, he was not bound to a master. If he were to be unsealed, he would be as free as he was before.

He was sealed there for the foreseeable future.
