Fictional character biography

Morning Star was the leader of a group of Satanists known as the Followers of the Left Hand Path. He and his cult spent a year tracking Jack Russell, the increasingly feral Werewolf by Night, the blood of whom Belial thought could be used to "reinvigorate" his followers by turning them into werewolves. In Los Angeles, the cult captured the werewolf, who escaped shortly thereafter, but not before the cult had implanted a tracking device in the creature's skull.[2]

Moon Knight and the Werewolf by Night later infiltrated the cult, returning to Morning Star's offices, where they engaged in battle to defeat the rest of the members. During this melee, the Werewolf by Night threw Morning Star from the roof of the 41-story Tishman Building, killing him.[6]
