the axe was originally the leader's axe for a group of thieves the would pillage small defenseless towns.but one day due to greed the thieves killed the leader but the axe was to heavy for anyone of them to wield,so they left it as is.the leader became a vengeful spirit and killed anyone that tried to touch his axe.until a monk came across it and sensed the spirit he then sealed the spirit inside the axe and dropped it into a near by cave.for a couple of decades the axe and spirit completely merged with each other and became a demon weapon.the axe itself is parasitic by nature like most demon weapons and grants the wielder the strength to wield it, but devours the body over time then eventually the soul which in turn makes it more powerful.after several years of dooming poor souls.it some how was placed inside the 12 guardians temple of sealing,a temple designed to be a lock to keep anyone from unlocking the paths to the 12 guardians themselves
