Nekrös

Real Name: Markus von Hauksberg
Background: Markus von Hauksberg was a student of architecture at a prominent German university when the Nazis came to power. Although he was a man of modern science, he found great allure in mysticism and the occult. When he discovered a set of ancient books at an old ruin, he learned all there was to learn about the spells and sorceries of his Germanic ancestors. Giving up his modern ways and taking the name Nekrös, he became one of Europe's foremost sorcerers, and was sent into battle against the Victory Squadron and the Midnight Men , with whom he clashed many times.
Because of his great powers, Nekrös was a rival of Dr. Omega , who in the end, managed to convince the Nazi leadership that Nekrös was unreliable and that magic was no true path to power.
