History
Zoltar was a Fortisquian who was born on Arcturus IV more than ten thousand years ago[2] and was a member of the small Fortisquian colony that existed on that planet.[3]
Zoltar was part of the crew of a starship called The Comet that was sent on an expedition to Earth ten thousand years ago but a crashlanding left Kammar, Ular and Zoltar as the only three survivors.[2] The purpose of the expedition had been to save an animal preserve that was threatened by a failure of its environmental systems due to damage caused by the Great Cataclysm. The three survivors managed to repair the damage and then found a teleportation warp that took them back to Arcturus IV. Discovering their homeworld in ruins following a war that had occurred during their absence, the three returned to Earth.[3]
Finding the planet to be inhabited by primitive humans, Zoltar and the others decided to teach them and guide their evolution into an intelligent species. In time, the three came to consider themselves to be humanity's Caretakers.[2]Attributes

Notes
- Although Fear #21-22 established that there were three Caretakers and revealed that Kammar and Ular were the names of two of them, the third Caretaker's name was not revealed to be "Zoltar" until the Book of the Vishanti back-up story in Doctor Strange Sorcerer Supreme #26.
