Father Time is the personification of Time and rules over his domain. Time is the father to the Endless and with his partner Night, made all of Creation possible. However, in present times, Time and Night are separated and estranged from their families.
Later revealed during events of Sandman: Overture, the siblings do in-fact have parents, with their father being Time, the personification of time itself and their mother being Night, the personification of the endless darkness that existed before the dawn of the universe.
Destiny, the eldest of the Endless, is one of the most powerful and influential of his siblings. As the ultimate observer, Destiny is the personification of fate and is generally all-knowing.
Children of Time and Night, the Endless were born just as the universe was put into motion. Before any human, magical creature, or god existed, the Endless were there as the personification of one of the vital aspects of life.
The Endless are each the seven children of even older entities, known as Mother NightOpens in new tab and Father TimeOpens in new tab. Destiny was born first, followed by Death, then Dream, Destruction, the twins known as Desire and Despair, and finally, Delirium, the youngest.
The Endless: Destruction Is the Missing Prodigal
The Endless, in order of appearance in the universe, are Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, twins Desire and Despair, and Delirium, who was once known as Delight. The seven are much more than mere gods: they are personifications of core aspects of conscious existence.
In the series, the Corinthian displays his talent for possessing the bodies of the living, a process which causes the possessed body's hair to turn white and the eye sockets to bleed as the eyes are replaced (possibly eaten) by the Corinthian's teeth.
Dream is without question one of the strongest characters in The Sandman universe thanks to his powerful and varied abilities and also because he is more than willing to act on his power. Dream is so powerful that he is even willing to venture into Hell itself to confront Lucifer Morningstar when the need arises.
The prodigal brother of the Endless family, Destruction left his post because he didn't want to be responsible for the chaos humanity would bring upon itself when it turned to science. Because destruction is what happens when dreams get subverted to evil ends.
1. Destiny of the Endless. the oldest of the Endless. he is the literal destiny of all things, living or otherwise.
Powers. Personification of Dreams: As one of the seven Endless, inconceivably powerful beings, Dream is both the lord and personification of all dreams and reality. He possesses absolute control over sleep, dreams, nightmares, and even insomnia.
Netflix's The Sandman keeps all the powers of John Dee and his position as Morpheus' first big nemesis.
Lady Johanna
She was created by Neil Gaiman as a tribute to Alan Moore, who created John Constantine. Operating as an occult detective and adventurer in the 18th and 19th centuries, Johanna Constantine is thus John Constantine's ancestor. And clearly John's inspiration for how he lives his own demon-hunting life.
She was trained as a Haruspex, which is one who is practiced in the art of divination by reading the entrails of animals that had been sacrificed. According to legend, Mad Hettie "hid her heart" from Death, thus enabling her to live far longer than the average human.
In total there are seven members of The Endless, but only four of them appear in the first season of The Sandman: Dream, Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), Desire (Mason Alexander Park) and Despair (Donna Preston).
In these issues, Dream describes as having created The Corinthian to be "the darkness, and the fear of darkness in every human heart. A black mirror, made to reflect everything about itself that humanity will not confront."
1. Death. The most powerful force of all, of course, is Death. Depicted as a goth girl with a swirl beneath her eye and an ankh necklace in the comics, she's a surprisingly joyful and empathetic being who seeks to comfort those who meet their end.
He battles Spider-Man inside an airtight metal box, which is activated when Spider-Man touches a card saying where the Vulture is, but the Sandman is defeated due to Spider-Man having stronger lungs than he does.
But her destiny was changed because she fell victim to a sleeping sickness while Dream was imprisoned. While she slumbered, Unity was impregnated by “a golden-eyed man,” and the power of the dream vortex passed through her family to Rose.
The Corinthian targets Rose because she is a Dream Vortex, meaning she is able to travel through dreams and shape the Dreamrealm in the same way that Morpheus can, and will even start taking his power from him.
Powers. The Corinthian is able to possess human beings. When he assumes control of a new host, the eyes are consumed and replaced by teeth, and the hair of the victim turns white. During the process, the eye sockets bleed profusely.
While there are other siblings that have been mentioned and not featured in the series, The Prodigal's absence raises more eyebrows than rest. During Morpheus' pensive walk with sister Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) the two briefly discuss The Prodigal's whereabouts, with Death confessing that he was still missing.
In The Sandman comics she is not precisely an angel per se but actually one of The Endless. The Endless are personifications of aspects of sentient life and cousins of the angels (according to the message Cain delivers to Lucifer in Season of mists).
Gaiman offered another explanation in The Sandman Companion for none of the other Endless being willing to rescue Dream: his pride. Gaiman reasoned that they all knew Dream well enough to predict that he wouldn't have been grateful for their aid.
