Zaffer

Zaffer was a benevolent alien found in Marvel comics, debuting in Defenders I #107, he was a follower of the alien "god" known as the Rose of Purity and shared shared a beneficial symbiotic relationship with his "god" that kept the realm in a state of near-perfect "paradise".
==History==
Zaffer was one of a pair of aliens who would find themselves crash-landing on an alien world over 100,000 years ago, the pair would be nursed to health by the Rose of Purity and became the entity's loyal guardians, Zaffer would also become the life-mate of Damask and while he was originally a fierce and war-like creature he quickly became a devoted follower of the Rose of Purity and lived in a state of peace and tranquility.
Unfortunately their peace would be shattered when Amora the Enchantress set her eyes on the Rose of Purity as part of her many schemes, setting the Defenders to capture the Rose under threat of slaying Valkyrie if they did not do as she "requested".
While at first the Defenders were greeted kindly Zaffer flew into a rage upon realizing their intent to "steal" his "god", sadly Hulk provoked further conflict alongside Namor and the Son of Satan, Zaffer reverted back to his original savage state and became a fearsome monster more than capable of standing his own against these powerful invaders.
Yet this violence only served to cause great pain to the Rose of Purity and it appeared to perish, the world becoming barren as a result and Hellcat finally managed to stop the fighting, the heroes realizing they were destroying an innocent world.
After the fighting stopped Zaffer lamented the "death" of the Rose, only for the world to return to its former paradise-like state as the Rose of Purity revealed it had feigned its death to stop the battle and while their fighting had pained it the entity wanted to teach them the value of peace.
Zaffer and Damask would ask the Defenders to stay with them in this new paradise and for some time the heroes seemed to agree, however Doctor Strange would inevitably call them away from this world to help deal with the Enchantress.
It is assumed the Zaffer and Damask remain in their paradise home to this day, free from Amora's influence or the hot-headed heroes who almost destroyed it.
==Abilities==
Zaffer was unimaginably strong and durable, able to fight Hulk, Namor and the Son of Satan on equal grounds (this easily puts him in the near infinite range as all three opponents have displayed near-infinite strength at some point in their career).
In addition he has fully functional tentacles under each arms with could be used as extra limbs and stretch up to 15 feet in any direction.
He had powerful claws and fangs and was telepathic.
He was also granted immortality by the Rose of Purity, having already lived for over 100,000 years prior to encountering the Defenders.
