In ''Doom''{{'}}s manual, the character is described as a marine from a futuristic earth. After attacking and critically wounding a commanding officer who ordered his troops to fire on civilians, the marine was transferred to the planet Mars to perform menial guard duty for the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC) – a megacorporation which uses Mars and its moons, Phobos and Deimos, as sites to perform military-sanctioned testing for interdimensional travel. These tests went lethally awry when the experimental moon gateways opened up from the inside to reveal portals to Hell, from which a glut of demons emerged, mutated the UAC personnel into zombies, and conquered the moons. | In ''Doom''{{'}}s manual, the character is described as a marine from a futuristic earth.

The story of ''Eternal'' continues in its downloadable content story, ''The Ancient Gods''. The defeat of the Khan Maykr and the Icon of Sin allowed the demons the chance to reinitiate their invasion of Earth to conquer the universe. To stop this invasion, the Doom Slayer, Samuel Hayden and several scientists seek out the Seraphim, who reveals that itself and VEGA are two halves of the Father. The sphere that houses its soul must be returned for this to happen. However, upon finding the sphere, the Slayer instead shatters it to prevent the Maykrs from causing tyranny and destruction ever again. The Slayer then takes the Dark Lord's sphere with the intent to ressurect the Dark Lord and personally kill him to destroy all demons outside of Hell. The Slayer returns to Urdak and is attacked by the Seraphim consumed by its ailments, but is teleported away by the Father. Despite being warned that doing so is irreversible, the Slayer summons the Dark Lord, who takes the physical form of the Slayer himself. | The story of ''Eternal'' continues in its downloadable content story, ''The Ancient Gods''.

*As with other [[Mii]] Costumes based on characters from primarily M-rated franchises, the logo for ''Doom'', the series the Slayer hails from, is absent in the American version of his [[Mii Costume]] reveal trailer, being replaced with a wordmark featuring the character's name, despite the wordmark featuring the franchise's name. However, like [[Dante]] and [[Dragonborn]], this change was also present in the UK presentation. | *As with other [[Mii]] Costumes based on characters from primarily M-rated franchises, the logo for ''Doom'', the series the Slayer hails from, is absent in the American version of his [[Mii Costume]] reveal trailer, being replaced with a wordmark featuring the character's name, despite the wordmark featuring the franchise's name.
