'No one ever kissed Despair, save her brother,' the narration reads. She has a particularly sweet relationship with her older brother Destruction, as we see in volume 7's 'Brief Lives,' where a flashback ends with Destruction giving her a friendly kiss on the cheek goodbye. 'Isn't it beautiful?' she asks Delirium at the sight of him.ĭespite this, Despair tends to be pretty nice to her siblings, comparatively speaking. We see this in 'Brief Lives,' where she's introduced watching a man contemplate suicide. (Because the concepts the Endless embody still exist, they're always soon replaced by another version of themselves.) Beyond that, Despair's personality is pretty constant: she delights in human suffering. We don't know much about Despair's early history, except for the fact that about 100,000 years ago, she was killed and then reborn as a slightly different version of Despair. But will Desire actually be happy with Dream killed? It doesn't seem like they've thought that far ahead. The Kindly Ones are an old, powerful force that Dream would have a hard time defending himself from, and if Desire's plan this season had been pulled off, Dream would've been in real mortal trouble. It would allow the Kindly Ones - the trio of women who've shown up in the episodes 'Imperfect Hosts,' '24 Hours,' and 'The Doll's House' - full authority to 'hound him to the grave,' as they themselves put it in the ninth volume. The show doesn't touch on this plot point much so far, but Dream killing a family member would be a huge deal. Because Dream has no choice but to kill vortexes for the safety of the universe, Desire will be forcing Dream to unknowingly kill a family member.

Desire does this knowing that Unity is supposed to be a dream vortex, meaning that when Dream is finally released from captivity, one of Unity's offspring will end up becoming the vortex instead. The full cast of the Netflix adaptation of The Sandman is below.This is made clear in season 1, which ends with the reveal that Desire was the one who impregnated Unity Kinkaid (Sandra James-Young) while she was in a coma.
