"My work is done. The Emanations are subdued, and I've begun my burial measures. Soon there'll be nothing left of me but sand and rock and one last, final spark . . . You should see the mountain that watches over it, En-il. A beautiful thing - a snowcapped guardian. That's where I will spend what time is left to me. Did I tell you? I built a garden. The earth is so rich here. A seed falls and a tree sprouts or a flower blooms. There's so much.... potential. It's [Nibiru]."
-Enoch's last words to En-il.
Enoch was the first of the Annunaki, born amidst a pantheon of gods who were rife in war. From the day he was born, his fate was written in ink; to defend the galaxy against those who would wish to plunge it into chaos. Alongside the Isu, Enoch fought the Emanations and their spawn, where he would eventually meet his counterpart and longtime rival, Atriox. Enoch found himself on the brink of defeat with his gods fallen around him,

history
The very first Annunaki. Enoch held one purposefor his existence and that was to battle the endless, teeming daemon which had fought for the Emanation. These daemon were led by the dreadful Atriox, foot-soldiers that would otherwise be a problem for the Isu during the Hour of Devastation had they not created soldiers of their own. Enoch was the very first, molded to the likeness of the Isu. He fought valiantly during the Hour of Devastation and his very presence had charismatic effects on the rest of his ilk. His heart was pure and it captured the attention of the Isu, then later on in the carnage, came close to defeating Atriox himself. He resolved himself to rally his people and defend his beloved creators against the God-King, Kronos. As the Isu collapsed around him, he fought more vigorously, but he lacked the necessary power to turn the tides. As the last Isu fell, he was the sole flicker of hope for the galaxy. The last remnants of power in the ghastly Isu flooded within him, a spectral line of his creators, activating his "spark," and in turn, Apotheosis. He combined all the power of the Isu into a spell of cosmic magnitude which threw the Emanations into torpor, the space between the planes, the fetid Blind Eternities. He proceeded to extinguish his spark and cast another spell which revived the fallen Isu back to their prime, immolating himself in the process. He became glorified over the eons as the savior of Annunaki and Isu-kind, great monuments erected on his behalf. His death resulted in the creation of the Mantle of Responsibility, from which the Isu have passed down to the Annunaki, and the Annunaki to the denizens of planet Arda.
last work and death
Having finished his work on the Elysium Plane, Enoch decided to immolate his Godspark to revive the fallen Isu, resulting in the kindling of the First Flame, which was later shaped into the Keranos by En-il. Enoch decided to spend the last days of his life in Arda in a savanna near what is now known as Volantis as his power waned to zero and his crux collapsed to nothingness. During his final days on Arda, he exchanged communications with the Isu, who urged him to return to Elysium before it was too late. Enoch calmly ignored the Isu's pleas and embraced his fate. Enoch presumably perished and the Isu took on a misanthropist stance toward Nibiru, which existed as a grim reminder of the loss of their messiah.
Personality and traits
"You still can't read him as well as I. He is stubborn, brilliant as a nova, dark as a singularity, with infinite depths. I've never discovered the core of his emotions, his self. I wonder what his duplicate would be like, what it would feel like to wear his imprint. To so many species he has made himself like unto a god, that they will remember him, that he can manipulate them in future times."
— Nabu describes Enoch's affect on the Multiverse to En-il.
Enoch was an elusive figure of immense intellect and knowledge, his true motives and goals often incomprehensible to others. He had an expert understanding the passage of what the Forerunners called the Mantle of Responsibility, the progression of history and the streams of individual and collective fates therein. This enabled him extraordinary abilities of foresight, allowing him to make complex plans for countless millennia to come. Despite caring for life in general, he did not have qualms about sacrificing individual lives or manipulating the course of an entire species if it served a greater purpose.
While Enoch greatly valued and cherished all life, he also understood better than most that life is at its core competition and struggle, and that all civilizations are ultimately most concerned with their own interests. He held particularly deep respect for the Isu, whom he viewed as "special" among all of the sentient life he had foreseen, and felt that it was well worth the sacrifice of his own life to save them.
Despite his ultimately benevolent aims, he also took a significant amount of pride in his work, and often presented himself as essentially a god to primitive civilizations, most notably humanity. In his own view, he did this because he wished to be remembered, seeing his own existence as fragile in comparison to the humans whom she intended to take the Annunaki's place in the future.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE AND ATTIRE
"I see very clearly how much Enoch has shaped the Multiverse since the end of the Creation Saga. Whenever you look inward and see an ideal Annunaki… whether it be god, animus, father, brother, or lover... For a brief, barely sensible instant, you will see the face and feel the spirit of Enoch."
Enoch was said to have simple, yet elegant features, and his appearance was very youthful despite his age. He was considered beautiful by both contemporary Annunaki and Isu alike, and one effect of the geas the Isu imprinted on Annunaki-kind is that his image became what Annunaki subconsciously view as the ideal male. In purely physical terms, however, he was not viewed as perfect by Annunaki standards; rather, it was said that his beauty was more spiritual in nature. Enoch's personal armor, slender in overall shape and gold in coloration, was draped with a white toga. The toga was a nearly semicircular piece of wool draped about the shoulders and body that later became an Artifact known as the Heart of the Praxic Flame. He has also been frequently seen wearing a skintight, luminescent white dress-like outfit with an elaborate headdress and a small anti-gravity dais which enabled him to float over the ground.
