The Creator's Game

When the Creator gave Oliver Greed his superpowers, the two agreed to play a game together, because both were bored with their existence. The Creator played the "bad guy", and the Maker played the "good guy". The Creator and the Maker were the only two people to ever know about the game. The game ended in 2017 after the Creator was imprisoned in the Dark Dimension, however the Maker created the New Elite Order and continued to collect heroes to rebuild the Heroes of the Red Gate anyways.

The good side
The Maker originally led the good side of the game, and created the Heroes of the Red Gate to fight with him. He led the HOTRG until he decided to cleanse it. That was when the HOTRG split into two parts; the remaining members of the HOTRG, and the Maker, who wanted to create his own "worthy" HOTRG.

The bad side
Once the game began, the Creator began plaguing the Red World with his monsters. The HOTRG tried to get close to him to fight him directly, but until Meck Insignior joined the HOTRG, they were unable to even find out what he looked like.
