History
In his youth, Stephen Strange was kidnapped by foreign sailors and taken to a slave market in Ankhara. He was sold to a doctor and learned many things during his time with him. Offered his freedom if he retrieved secret herbs from the East, Strange went on that mission. Climbing high into the "mountains beyond the Indes" he nearly died but was rescued and brought to a distant monastery. Here Strange learned much of magic. Strange completed his mission and gained his freedom, then saved Clea from trouble in her distant land and took her as his bride. Returning to England he did a favor for Queen Elizabeth I, who made him her physician. When strange weather had plagued England and the world for some time, the Old Man of Templars offered a powerful weapon to Strange for safekeeping. read more
