‘’’Crusade’’’ was a sleeper agent human bred and mentally programmed by the Knights of the Order of the Crusade as an enemy to any Kherubim presence on Earth by viewing them as a threat to the planet. Eventually the Knights mysteriously disappeared leaving Crusade alone to continue the campaign of destruction against the Kherubim he was taught to destroy. To that end he traveled to Earth where he encountered and befriended Union before continuing on his crusade. Unable to find the Kherubim and bored of endless vigilance, Crusade went undercover as a university professor teaching medieval history and ethics until a chance meeting with the WildCats awakened his warrior instincts.

After fighting the Wildcats, Crusade found out that the Kherubim on Earth were not the evil monsters he made them out to be after being convinced by Savant of their nobler qualities which befuddled his mental programming. Deciding he’s not much more than a nuisance, Savant had him teleported to Antarctica, promising to leave him be if he did not attack again and to kill him if he tried. .

Armageddon
Crusade later appeared again aiding in the relief efforts after the destruction of most of the Earth. He last appeared in Nairobi, Kenya helping with relief efforts.
