    Lineage has since joined the Inhumans in the fallen city of Attilan, currently located in the New York Hudson Bay. Although Lineage seems to be working for the Inhumans, he is keeping many secrets from them with more sinister purposes.

    Lineage revealed his true colors when he captured Capo and shot Gorgon, paralyzing him. He stole the Inhuman Codex and tried to wage war against the human world. He disabled the Attilan Royal Family with the Codex and was going to win, but then it was revealed that Karnak was part of his lineage.
