History
Visigoth stated that he fought at the Battle of Ravenna. Mortally wounded, he laid on the field, a Roman ax in his skull, when his brother-in-arms Guntur offered him to become a vampire, which he accepted.[1] He claimed to have survived the Roman Empire and its efforts to destroy him.[2]
He became a member of Raizo Kodo's Forgiven, a group of seemingly benevolent vampires, Visigoth serves as the strongman of the team.
When a Nul-possessed Hulk threatened the castle home of Dracula, Visigoth and the rest of the Forgiven arrived in Romania to offer their assistance to the vampire lord. Initially imprisoned and viewed as a threat, they eventually broke free[3] and made their way to the nearby town of Pasnic, where they helped evacuate citizens before the arrival of Hulk. Upon the possessed hero's arrival, they tried to hold him off, but were ultimately defeated, one-by-one.[4] Getting a second chance at Hulk, Visigoth lured him to a train track, where two of his allies drove trains directly into the Hulk, hoping to stop him, but doing little more than slow him down, though Inka and Kodo were later responsible for ridding Hulk of the Nul possession, and ending the confrontation.[5]
Taking possession of the hammer, Visigoth and the Forgiven ended up in Transylvania, where they sought Nosferatu who were terrorizing the area. When Valkyrie arrived seeking the hammer, Visigoth watched as Raizo battled her to see her spirit. When Valkyrie began winning the duel, Visigoth made to help his leader, but was instructed not to. Valkyrie was later given the hammer by Raizo.[6]
Visigoth was part of the Forgiven who later greeted Jubilee when she crash-landed a Sentinel in Eastern Europe[7] and was present when Raizo attempted to rid her of her need for human blood. Offering his personal assistance, he agreed with Raizo that his methods were too tough for the task at hand.[8] Visigoth later battled Warpath, when the X-Men tracked down the vampires, in search of Jubilee,[9] then faced Black Axe, one of many killers having landed the island,[2] and defeated him.[10]Attributes
