->'''AKA:''' Hassan-i Sabbah
->'''First Appearance:''' ''Superman'' #657 (December, 2006)

The man known in modern times as Khyber was once known as Hassan-i Sabbah, who silently maintained authority over the assassin order known as the Hashshashin over the millennium, having become immortal by means of alchemical rituals. Centuries ago, Khyber placed all his human traits of conscience, guilt, and emotions into a man who would become the hero Sirocco, dubbing him "Khalid" meaning the Immortal and rendering him immune to death as long as Khyber lived. In modern times, Khyber worked in secret to use the conflict between Muslim extremism in the Western World and destabilize the more powerful nations of the world to mask his plans.
