Darkhold Dwarf

The Dwarf, also known as the Darkhold Dwarf, is an agent of the elder-god Chthon and a villain in Marvel comics. He is a mysterious but malevolent demon or construct that exists to tempt people into using the evil power of the Darkhold - doing so gives his master power and presumely a chance to return to the mortal-world again. He is an extremely evil creature who manipulates others, often in their moment of weakness, to convince them that using the Darkhold will benefit them when in reality it will almost always cause misfortune to befall them or those they love. The Dwarf was opposed mainly by a group known as the Darkhold Redeemers - who consisted of such heroes as Blade, Dr Strange, Ghost Rider and Morbius. However the Dwarf proved his skill as a manipulator by convincing one of the Darkhold Redeemers to use one of the pages and due to his magical nature it is safe to assume that the Dwarf may return some time in the future.
