Khor the sorcerer was an active practitioner of the black arts in 13th century France. In the year 1245 AD he would be banished to the so called "Land Where Time Stands Still" for some unspecified crime. This realm was apparently a timeless realm where he would live out his exile until the "Earth disintegrated". By 1941 he would discover the mystical black fog, which would allow him to transport others into his realm, and briefly appear on the Antarctic continent. Upon this discovery, he would capture the crew of the S.S. Olympus who were on an expedition to the Antarctic region, part of Khor's plan to amass a population of slaves to live in exile with him that he could rule over as king.
