A mobster who was active in Chicago in the mid 20th Century, the Caesar of Crime earned his nickname due to his total control over crime in the area. However when his entire gang faced prosecution, the Caesar and his men fled to the jungles of the Republic of the Congo. There he used his fortune to build a phony village and disguises based on ancient Rome, inspired by his nickname where they hid from the law. The Caesar and his minions were discovered by jungle adventurer Lorna the Jungle Girl and her friend Greg Knight. Escaping an attempt on their lives, Lorna and Greg tracked them back to their phony village. There they were captured and the Caesar asked Greg to help them hunt. Seemingly believing them, Greg agreed to take some of the Caesar's men with him. Lorna, not believing the story was then told the truth by the Caesar who was about to kill her when Greg Knight arrived with a pack of lions. As it turned out, Greg knew all along that the Caesar and his men were phonies as they spoke in English with American accents, something that ancient Romans would not have and used the tamed lions from his wildlife preserve to frighten the Caesar and his minions into surrendering and they were then turned over to the authorities.

Little is known about the early life of the sorcerer one day known as Cagliostro, not even his real name (although it is speculated to have been O-Bengh).[1] What is known is that he ruled over a kingdom in India sometime in the year 1000 A.D. During this time, Doctor Doom, who was time-traveling from the present era, was searching for a teacher in the arcane arts. Having gained the respect of Doom, O-Bengh taught Doom his magical secrets. Doom needed this knowledge for his latest attempt to free his mother from the nether-realms. In return, Doom gave O-Bengh a box of jewels that would enable the mage to buy the help and ingredients that he needed for his immortality elixir. O-Bengh was much impressed by Doom's time-travelling abilities and never forgot them.[3] As part of his quest for eternal life, O-Bengh killed the immortal Egyptian wizard Al-Tothas and usurped his form.[1] By about 1549, Dracula had learned of the existence of the Darkhold. Fearful that the book's fabled Montesi Formula could spell doom for all vampires on Earth, he sent a thief to the Vatican Library to steal it. "Al-Tothas" intercepted the thief on the streets of Rome, killed him, and took the Darkhold for himself. From then on, Dracula vowed undying hatred on the sorcerer.[4] From the Darkhold, "Al-Tothas" learned of an immortality potion requiring the use of vampire blood.[1] In the 1700s, "Al-Tothas" took Giuseppe Balsamo on as an apprentice, eventually killing him and taking his form and wife, Lorenza. Now calling himself Cagliostro, he became an advisor to |King Louis XVI.[1] In the year 1784, Cagliostro met the hero Captain Marvel who had just passed through the mystical black mirror of Marie Laveau, the Voodoo queen of New Orleans. She was in search of a specimen of vampire's blood, so Cagliostro introduced her to Count Dracula.
