Origin
Visigoth was a warrior who was turned into a vampire after being fatally wounded during the Siege of Ravenna. Later, he joined a vampire clan called the Forgiven led by Raizo Kodo alongside Inka, Nighteyes, Quickshot and Sanjay. The Forgiven are a special group of vampires because they refuse to give into their kind’s predatory ways and feed on human blood. Visigoth was taken in by Raizo when he also chose to reject the basic nature of vampirism and would become the brute force of the Forgiven that causes havoc with his trademark weapon, the mace.
Creation
Visigoth was created by Victor Gischler and Ryan Stegman in 2011 and first appeared in Fear Itself: Hulk vs Dracula # 1.
