Who is Baron Mordo?

History Baron Mordo has often worked with Dormammu in hopes of defeating Doctor Strange and the Ancient One . Mordo was once empowered by Dormammu far beyond Strange's power, so Strange brought the Ancient One to safety and searched for a way to defeat Mordo. Strange was lured into the Dark Dimension, where Dormammu could finally fight him. During the battle, Mordo struck Strange from behind. This enraged Dormammu as it violated his sense of honor, and he banished Mordo to another dimension. He has returned to the Earth Dimension many times only to be met with failure and to be exiled again by either Strange or Dormammu. In another scheme to defeat Strange, he sold his soul to both Mephisto and Satannish , knowing that they would come to the Earth dimension and fight each other for the soul. Strange would be forced to intervene and stop them from causing damage in this dimension.
