History

Origin

Kierrok was created by Chthon the Elder God, and was one of the Mabdhara, the masters of the N'Garai who once ruled Earth millennia ago.

Freed by Cyclops

Kierrok was accidentally released from his own dimension by Cyclops, who was lashing out with his eye beams, angry and saddened by John Proudstar's death. Cyclops' beams hit a magic obelisk called a Cairn, and Kierrok appeared and attacked the X-Mansion. Charles Xavier was mentally overwhelmed by Kierrok's evil. Storm was able to find the obelisk and destroyed it, sealing Kierrok back in his own dimension.

Later, the obelisk rose again and a demon escaped. It was found by a feral Wolverine who killed it. Wolverine followed another demon back to Kierrok's dimension and began fighting the N'Garai. He slaughtered many of the demons and was fighting Kierrok himself when Nightcrawler found them. Fearing that Wolverine could kill him, Kierrok banished them both back to Earth and sealed the Cairn.

A slave caste of demons, the Ru'Tai, witnessed Wolverine's success and rebelled against Kierrok and killed him. Kierrok's eye was kept as a trophy by Pilgrimm, a Ru'Tai leader.

Attributes

Powers

Kierrok is a N'Garai demon, and as such has wings, poisonous claws and teeth, and tough leathery skin. He is extremely strong and durable and is more intelligent than other N'Garai. He was also able to absorb life energy from the X-Men weakening them and strengthening himself.
