There are 13 artifacts that reside in the Top Cow Universe. For centuries the 13 Artifacts were unknown, until the events of Broken Trinity. The Curator finally lists all but two of the 13 artifacts and gives Michael Finnegan the task of keeping them separate. An unknown being captures and reprograms Aphrodite IV with the task of procuring all the artifacts for himself. This unknown figure lists all 13 artifacts and tells Aphrodite IV that he intends to unite all the artifacts and destroy the world with the intent to bring about a new world.
