Kaecilius first appeared in Strange Tales #130 (March 1965) and was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
Kaecilius is a disciple of Baron Mordo, who delivers messages and even fight Doctor Strange himself if necessary. One of his first missions is to kidnap the Ancient One, a task he fails due to Doctor Strange's interference. At one point, Mordo possesses Kaecilius to test the powers of Dormammu.[2]
Kaecilius steals Strange's Cloak of Levitation before he erases Kaecilius's knowledge of magic.[3]
Kaecilius and his cohorts, Adria and Demonicus, pose as members of the Independent Video media network to interview Strange and gain access to the Sanctum Sanctorum. Claiming to be the cameraman Joe Crocker, Kaecilius is exposed and banished to the Purple Dimension.[4]
Many years later, he is freed and battles Strange and Jane Foster.[5][6]
During the Death of Doctor Strange storyline, Kaecilius is accused of killing Doctor Strange before being killed when a temporal clone of Strange uses him to resurrect the original. He would later be proven to have killed Doctor Strange.[7]
Kaecilius was trained in the mystic arts by his master, Baron Mordo.[8]
