Biography[]
Moon Knight Vol. 9[]
Born in Luxor, Egypt, Badr was the son of two unnamed doctors. He grew up to be a doctor himself. As a child, he was serious, stern and didn't believe in deities. He studied the Qur'an and Hadith but didn't believe in higher entities as he felt no spiritual connection.
During one night, he was attacked by vampires. But survived due to Khonshu's intervention. Badr learned to worship Khonshu, who appointed Badr as one of his fists and priests. When Moon Knight stopped worshipping Khonshu after the Age of Khonshu event and established his Midnight Mission, Badr moved into a nearby clinic, stalking and watching Moon Knight.
After Moon Knight took in people infected with vampirism, Badr terrorized nightwalkers to get to Moon Knight, who Badr defeated. Badr tried to kill the vampires in Moon Knight's Midnight Mission due to vampires being enemies of Khonshu and to set Marc Spector back on the path to worshipping and serving Khonshu as Hunter's Moon felt he need to remove all "distractions" in Moon Knight's life, before Moon Knight arrived and beat up Badr, despite him having all the previous experiences of Khonshu's fists.

Hunter's Moon reports to Reese, Moon Knight's vampire assistant that Stained Glass Scarlet cannot truly die due to now being a goddess.
