Dr. Vahzilok is the leader of the patchwork group known simply as the Vahzilok. He is an in-game character in the now-defunct City of Heroes MMO.
Character History
Born Dr. Demetrios Vasilikos, he worked with his father as one of the best father-son medical teams in Paragon City.
That partnership ended, though, when his father contracted an alien virus after treating a superhero. Although he tried everything in his power and within the scope of medical science, his father still died.
That one moment defined and changed Vaskilios. His obsession on saving lives transitioned from saving his father's life to bringing his father back to life, to bringing everyone back to life, and to eliminate his own fear of death.
To that end, he delved into using experimental drugs to re-animate dead tissue. His first subjects were patchwork creations from various fresh corpses. He had some success with those, but the beings that were brought back to "life" were semi-mindless. They became his minions, gathering more bodies for his experiments.
Unfortunately this attracted the wrong kind of attention. Various hero groups began looking into the grave-robbing, which forced the doctor to get more help. Medical schools provided some help, along with a list of disgraced medical professionals deemed too "dangerous" to work for The Family or Arachnos.
Then he began to experiment on himself, trying to find ways to work harder and longer without needing rest or sleep. This was the end of everything that was Vaskilios. He ceased to be the human doctor in both body and soul and he became that which his own minions first called him: Doctor Vahzilok.
At one point, he began to get help from other sources in exchange for fresh (living) bodies as part of the Omega-Genesis Program. He agreed to help as long as he was promised a new body for himself. Sadly, the Freedom Corps raided the facility and (reportedly) killed Dr. Len Zarus, depriving him of his much-needed new body.
Eventually he was stopped by Paragon City's newest hero, Galatea Powers. He was convicted for his crimes and sent to prison to serve multiple life sentences.
"Second Chance"
At one point, Dr. Vahzilok was approached by Malcolm Rochspare, a corrupt attorney who offered the doctor a way out of his multiple convictions.
