Origins:

Once, he was Hassan-I-Sabbah, master of the deadly Hashshashin. He ruled from the shadows for centuries. But then, as the armoured Khyber, he rose, and in one possible future, at least, dominated and destroyed all of mankind. At his beck and call are the Ghostwolves, an army of cybernetic assassins, and at his throat is the hero Sirocco, immortal and super-swift after being made a human vessel for Khyber’s emotions and conscience.

Is he a threat to all life and freedom on Earth? Or was he destroyed years ago, a nightmare averted before he ever became Khyber? He is thought dead, but the true answers remain a mystery to the wider world.
