Unknown to PROBE, Archie MacTavish had not been completely dead when he was sucked into the portal and his functions were preserved in the space between dimensions. After drifting, he made contact with the Spiral Yssgaroth, the "reservoir of evil". Corrupted, he made a deal with the Yssgaroth entity, which helped him return to his universe to work on a ritual in time for the next Perihelion that would open a full gateway between the two universes. Returned to Earth as a vampire, he spent a year arranging attacks on PROBE as the only potential obstacle to his plans.
