  From Champions Universe:
  

  The history in the main text recites what some members (primarily mystics) of the Superhuman World know about the Circle [of the Scarlet Moon]. What it omits is that the [Trismegistus] Council triumphed over the Circle during the 1800s so much because it had the aid of the Archmage, mystic defender of Earth. Determined to remove this impediment to its plans forever, in 1908 the Circle worked a mighty magic. The Archmage at that time was Bohdan Stanislavski, a Russian mystic who lived in the Siberian wilderness near the Tunguska River. It summoned from the demonic realms a terrifying weapon known as the Hellstone and hurled it at Stanislavski's sanctum. The resulting explosion obliterated the Archmage (and, it seems, his artifacts of office) in a blast so terrible it was felt hundreds of miles away. Since then, Earth has been bereft of her chief mystic guardian, forcing the Trismegistus Council to do its best to take his place.

  Choose your enemies carefully, because they will define you / Make them interesting, because in some ways they will mind you
  They're not there in the beginning, but when your story ends / Gonna last with you longer than your friends

  The Hellstone disappeared after the explosion, but malevolent mystics who are aware of it continue to search for it. The mystic called Robert Caliburn has recently ascended to the office of Archmage.

  Just to add a little...
  
  
  Luther Black was still part of the Circle and participated on these events
