When as a child, Balor, looked into a potion being brewed by his father. The deadly fumes from the brew caused him to grow a poisonous potent eye. Subsequently as a result of this very powerful evil eye, he became the leader of the Formorians the first people to inhabit Ireland.
By just gazing at his enemies, Balor could destroy armies instantly.
