Biography
An old Chinese wizard the Ancient one has been the sorcerer supreme for over 400 years. He spent his youth as a peaceful farmer, until his friend Kaluu discovered the power of magic. When Kaluu shared this knowledge of the mystic arts with the Ancient One, the two disagreed on how they would use their powers. The Ancient One wished to turn their village into a utopia, while Kaluu desired power and conquest over nearby villages.
The Ancient One and Kaluu agreed to cast a spell, eliminating sickness, disease, and age from their village of Kamar-Taj. But Kaluu went further, casting a mind-control spell over the villagers and forcing the to crown him king of the village.The Ancient One attempted to stop Kaluu, but the village of Kamar-Taj was wiped out during their conflict. As a result, Kaluu was banished to an alternate dimension and the Ancient One was stripped of his immortality. Nonetheless, as a result of the original spell, the Ancient One ages far more slowly than any regular human. The downside, however, is that he is physically weak and fragile, powerful only in magic.
Over the next few centuries, the Ancient One traveled the Earth, battling demons and evil spirits, banishing many from Earth. He increased his own knowledge, gathering and guarding books and artifacts such as the Eye of Agamotto that contain dangerous knowledge. The Ancient One finally settled in the Himalaya Mountains and built a palace as his home, together with an order of monks that he formed for his own protection and support. He eventually acceded to the title of Earth's Sorcerer Supreme.
In London, during the Great London Fire, the Ancient One battled Dormammu in one of their many conflicts, forcing him to retreat. While the Ancient One successfully protected Earth, he has never completely defeated Dormammu and expects his return one day. With the knowledge that he is not immortal and will one day die and thus not be able to face Dormammu and the mystical threats of earth for all eternity, the Ancient One started to take apprentices, searching for the one who could succeed him as Sorcerer Supreme.
Powers/Abilities
The Ancient One is the one of the preeminent mages in the world. As such he has an extremely high magical potential which has been further enhanced by his years of practice and innumerable magical artifacts. He is so powerful that he was able to deflect an invasion by Dormammu in his prime. (Deflect, not prevent. Even the Ancient One was not powerful enough to face Dormammu head to head).
