Doctor Vahzilok
Dr. Vahzilok is the leader of the patchwork group known simply as the Vahzilok. He is an in-game character in the 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. A mispronunciation of his name by one of his captured minions resulted in his group being dubbed the "Vahzilok".
