After explaining that the Eternals were created by the Celestials to eliminate Deviants, he kept their larger mission secret for a price and teleported toward Phastos’s Chicago home.

• JARVIS identified Phastos as an architectural consultant in Chicago and Kingo as a Bollywood actor in Mumbai, with records showing both had maintained changing identities for decades.
