| The Imperator's parents, Hieronymus and Abbadona Hellgore, were citizens of a society which worshipped Shuma-Gorath and the magical powers he provided in exchange for human sacrifices. Lord and Lady Hellgore, however, worshipped science as their religion instead, and when they refused to sacrifice their newborn son to their society's god, they were pronounced heretics. In order to save their son, they enclosed him in a balloon-like ship and sent him off into space before being killed at the hands of their government for their crimes against magic. |
| The child spent his entire childhood in this ship, learning the ways of science and learning to hate magic and its users. Once grown, he declared himself The Imperator, making it his mission to purge the universe of the evil which killed his parents. He set upon a journey to destroy every last magic user and artefact of magical power in existence. |
| After purging multiple dimensions of their magic, the Imperator would finally set his sight on Earth, defended by Doctor Strange. |
