Vandal Savage

**Vandar Adg** or **Vandal Savage** is a Human male and a former caveman. He is also known to be an extremely old human, having fought through countless centuries.

## **Origins**

The man who would become Vandal Savage started out as a caveman and leader of the Co-Magnon Blood Tribe named Vandar Adg during the age of prehistory, somewhere around 50,000 years ago. It wouldn't be until he was bathed in the radiation of a meteorite which crash landed on Earth, bestowing upon him powers such as immortality, enhancing his strength, intellect, durability and speed. The meteorite would soon be approached by a man of the Bear Tribe, who became Savage's nemesis, called the Immortal Man, capable of resurrecting with a new persona should he be killed.

Savage made his first mark on history, forming what would later be known as the Illuminati, who undermined and destroyed Atlantis. He would continue to serve as their leader for sometime later. Savage claims to have ruled many empires under various names, before realizing he might end up dead via his prominence. As a result, he began working behind the scenes, advising many of the world's greatest and even tyrannical leaders. Some of which include Erik the Red, Napoleon Bonaparte, Ra's al Ghul, Otto von Bismarck and even the likes of Adolf Hitler. He was even the French Royal court's physician, using members of those he served in experiments involving Syphilis.
