Black Seven

Omar was born under a prophecy of evil known as “The Black Seven.” Due to being the 7th son from a 7th son, and born on the 7th day, his life brought a curse to those who knew him. His mother died during child birth, and his father and six brothers died from a plague Omar brought back from a near by village. Because of his curse, the people from his village wanted to kill him, and so Omar fled and began a life of crime abroad as a master criminal until hired by the Nazis to retrieve a treaty and crosses paths with the hero Black Jack. Later on a fortune teller warned him that his luck will run out. Black Seven’s next robbery goes bad and in order to escape Black Jack he fled into a “Chamber of Horrors.” However once there, he managed to get the upper hand over the Black Jack and tied him up to a guillotine. He then tried to make his escape but, suddenly lightning struck the blade. Black Seven tried to dodge it, only to stumble backwards into a pit filled with spikes.
