Valtorr was a demon lord,[4] and the ruler of his dimension, the Veils of Valtorr, a gloomy place of vapor and decay set within the Archipelago of Anguish and Redemption (or "Splinter Realms").
The High Seers of Nox (themselves part of the Lords of the Splinter Realms),[5] are his vassals from their pocket dimension, and gaze into Valtorr's noxious vapors to see possible futures.[6]
History
_from_Midnight_Suns_Vol_1_2_0002.jpeg){kind=link}
In 1428, Jacquette Laveau planned to use her family's Black Mirror to summon Valtorr to protect her Coven from the persecution. As part of the ritual, Jacquette let Corina, who she deemed the weakest of them, be sacrificed to Valtorr, to the shock of others.[4] Upon learning that Valtorr would kill all non-magical users on the planet, Agatha Harkness shattered the Mirror, breaking the connection. But Valtorr's price has already been paid, and Corina remained his prisoner.[7] For years, Harkness tried to rescue Corina from the Dominion of Valtorr, but was never powerful enough to do it.[8]
Over centuries, Corina, trapped in the Dominion of Valtorr, managed to siphon power from her captor. Driven by a desire for revenge, Corina, now calling herself Korrosion, finally became more powerful than her master and killed him.[8]Attributes
