Nabu revealed himself to be one of the ancient Lords of Order, locked into a war for millennia with the Lords of Chaos. In addition to banishing his grief and implanting magical knowledge, he also enhanced him to prevent aging and this would also affect Inza. He established that Nabu had intentionally sought out young Kent, and let the boy's father die as a means to gain an apprentice he could control. Paul Levitz made even more significant alterations in a later story. This retelling also established that he was 12 years old at the time of his father's death, and Nabu had used magic to prevent him from experiencing pain or grief while he began his transformation into Fate. Martin Pasko retconned this significantly, adding to the character that Nabu took over Kent's body whenever he became Doctor Fate and always had. He would eventually meet his long-time traveling companion Inza Cramer on his way through Alexandria while returning to America. Raising him to adulthood, eventually he decides that Kent is well-prepared enough in his training and gives him an amulet, cloak and helmet to fight evil as Doctor Fate. Explaining he is an immortal being from the planet Cilia, Nabu decides that for having killed the boy's father he will teach him the secrets of the universe. Nabu's release from imprisonment also releases poisonous gases that kill the boy's father. Exploring the Valley of Ur in Mesopotamia because his dad believed the Pyramids to have been built by extraterrestrials, Kent stumbles upon a statue of the great Nabu. Gardner Fox eventually established him as Kent Nelson, the son of archaeologist Sven Nelson. He mentions at a Justice Society meeting that he is not human, although this would later be completely contradicted. In his first appearances, the original Doctor Fate was not given an origin or secret identity.
