List of Marvel Comics Characters: R - Rintrah

Rintrah

Rintrah is an other-dimensional mystic in the Marvel Comics universe.

The character, created by Peter B. Gillis and Chris Warner, first appeared in Doctor Strange #80 (December 1986). He was depicted as a green furred minotaur during the stories he appeared in.

Within the context of the stories, Rintrah comes from an other-dimensional planet called R'Vaal. There, because of his sensitivity to occult forces and his potential to become a skilled sorcerer, he is apprenticed to Enitharmon the Weaver. When Doctor Strange brings his Cloak of Levitation to Enitharmon for repair, the weaver sends Rintrah to return the restored cloak. After delivering the cloak, Strange briefly, and with permission, possesses his body to fend off Urthona. He remains with Strange for a short time before returning to his apprenticeship.

Rintrah returns some time later to become Strange's apprentice. He accompanies Strange on a number of adventures after this, progressing in his skils and his master's respect. In this he earns Strange's original blue Cloak of Levitation and the Amulet of Agamotto. In his final adventure with Strange, he smashes the Tartessus Talisman and the resulting energy decimates his body. Strange later commits his apprentice's remains to another dimension for temporary safekeeping.
