The Black Ring' was a gathering of Stygian wizard.
The wizards of the Black Ring had their headquarters in the Shemite city of Sabatea.[5]
History
Age of Acheron[]
Circa 13,000 BC, when Acheron still existed, Ptah-Mekri, high priest of Set, was an adept of the Black Ring. When he died, his body was preserved in a hall of the dead in Luxor.[6]
Hyborian Age[]
Thoth-Amon has at times served as the de facto master of the organization, though certain members disdained his dominance,[7] including Thutothemes.[6]
In one of the last known confrontations between Thoth-Amon and King Conan of Aquilonia, the entire Ring gathered to face the forces of Aquilonia. All but Thoth-Amon were supposedly slain.[8]Notes
- Though individual members of the Black Ring appeared in Marvel stories from 1971 onwards, it was first depicted as a coherent group in 1980. Its inner workings were fleshed out in 1993.
- It is probable that certain Stygian sorcerers living in exile, such as Kulan Gath and Morophla, were former members of the Ring,[citation needed] but this remains uncertain.
