Above is the grand tormentor of Dr. Nekros … the demon Xaphan. Fourteen years ago this demon slashed Dr. Nekros’ face and literally tried to tear his heart out. Ever since, Dr. Nekros hasn’t been able to rest due to his obsession with getting revenge against the ghoul.
Xaphan is mentioned in Dr. Nekros: The Tragedian (Volume I, Episode I), and Dr. Nekros’ ex-wife, Zetta, even sees the monster in a nightmare in Dr. Nekros: Phantasms and Chicanery.
The only question is … when will we see Xaphan again … and what will it mean for Dr. Nekros and Zetta?
