Dazaar, The Arch-Fiend

Origin
Irma Plavatski was a beautiful Russian princess, who claimed to be periodically possessed by an evil Tibetan magician named Dazaar. She was, in fact, possessed by the century-old Tibetan Ascended Master who had also possessed seven other bodies, before making Irma his permanent vessel. For this, Dazaar had been expelled from the Great White Lodge and had since formed his own satanic organization bent on world conquest. He was expelled because it was forbidden to switch bodies with a female, as females were more likely to feel love and compassion. In fact, as Irma, Dazaar had fallen in love with his arch enemy, Nick Carter and sent a hit man to kill his wife, Ethel.

Dazaar was a master of disguise and was capable of killing a man with a throwing knife from several hundred yards. Dazaar was also a great mystic capable of transferring his/her mind into the bodies of others, and he/she may have possessed other mystical powers besides. Dazaar also commanded a small cult of satanic fanatics.
