So, Glory "was banished into the earthly dimension, where she was forced to share a body with a human child named Ben, who was created solely to "contain" her." Ben is around 20 in 2000, so he was born around 1980.

The Order of Dagon was a monastic order founded by Tarnis in the XII century. Apparently, their sole purpose was to protect The Key.

The Key is an ancient mystical energy with the power to unlock the gates between all existing dimensions, though only at a certain time and place.

In 2000, fearing that Glorificus would use the Key, the surviving monks of the Order of Dagon transformed the Key into Dawn Summers with the hope that the Slayer would keep it safe.

Glroy herself says the Key could have been made into any form, including, if memory serves, "a bicycle pump".

Here's my question(s):If Glory has only been on Earth since 1980, why has the Order of Dagon been around since 1100? If Glory needed the Key to open the gates, why wouldn't the monks literally make the Key into an innocuous item like a bicycle pump, or better yet, a grain of sand at the bottom of the ocean? Then Glory would never find it. If it wasn't made into a person who could bleed to open the gate, how would any other item work?

Anyone?
