Another backup story in Swords of Cerebus sheds a little
light on the role of aardvarks as a focus of magick. Shown here
is the soon to be frustrated magician who summoned Cerebus, to
use him in his quest for ultimate power.
The story takes place between issues 12 and 13. Both the magician
and his platform in space reappear in issue 82, where he shortly
claims to be the living tarim.
