Straight from the pages of Doctor Strange comes the being known as Rintrah. Rintrah is an intelligent being from the extradimensional planet of R'Vaal. His people the R'Vaalians resemble a green-skinned minotaur.
Rintrah first encountered Doctor Strange when Strange asked Enitharmon to repair his Cloak of Levitation, which had been torn in a battle. After he repaired the Cloak, Enitharmon told Rintrah to return the Cloak to Strange. Rintrah found Strange just after the sorcerer's physical body had been badly wounded in a battle with a demon sent by Urthona, an alien mystic from Strange's own dimension. Rintrah found Strange just after intense surgery was performed to save Strange's physical body. SNeeding a body toheal, Strange's astral spirit asked Rintrah to allow him to project his spirit into Rintrah's body. Rintrah agreed, allowing both Strange's and Rintrah's consciousness to inhabit one body at the same time.
Rintrah remained with Doctor Strange and accompanied him back to Earth. Rintrah hoped to serve the Sorcerer Supreme but he refused. He did help Strange in some decisive battles, but Strange refused to take on an apprentice. Eventually, Strange accepted him as an apprentice. Rintrah lived with Strange in his home in Greenwich Village. While living at the Sanctum he was made to complete chores like any of the students of Kamar Taj. While taking out the trash he tried to practice a spell on a pile of garbage bringing it to life creating a monster. They were then forced to battle the creature and reverse the spell.
They have had many adventures together and that developed into a bond that Doctor Strange could not deny. That is why Rintrah's became an Adjunct professor at the Strange Academy. He taught Math-1, a project-based course in which students explore fundamental principles of algebra and geometry to craft in mystical disguise. (Since Rintrah did perfect an illusion spell hat made him appear human.)
Powers & Abilities
R'Vaalian Physiology: Due to his alien physiology, Rintrah possesses superhuman strength and endurance, particularly in the muscles of his legs. His horns and hooves can be used as weapons, although he prefers not to use them as such.
Sorcery: Rintrah is a moderately powerful magic user. He has the potential to someday become as powerful as Doctor Strange and Enitharmon the Weaver. The full repertoire of spells remains unknown, but he has exhibited such effects as dimensional travel, projecting his astral form, firing bolts of mystical energy, and erecting shields of mystical force.
Weaver Magic: he is able to mystically see the "Strings of Fate" that float around all living beings. Thanks to his teacher Enitharmon the Weaver, Rintrah could instantly learn the entire history of anything just by touching one of these strings. He would often exclaim "By the Veil and Weft of the Woven World!" This kind of magic was unknown to Doctor Strange.
Illusionary Shapeshifting: Rintrah is able to alter his appearance to resemble humans while on Earth. He took pleasure in taking the form of actors and other popular entertainers he saw on Television. One of his favorite forms was the movie star Humphrey Bogart.
Genius Intelligence: like his master Doctor Strange, Rintrah has a vast intellect and the capacity to learn thing quickly. He picked up many spell and processes a lot quicker then his human counterparts. He is an expert mathematician with knowledge in principles of algebra and geometry.
