Khan was once a man, a youthful occult scholar who sought only to love his wife and children. The king of the Middle Eastern nation Halwan recognized Khan's power and sought to claimed it. When Khan refused, the king took his family hostage, torturing and slaying Khan's youngest daughter on the rack.
