Agent of Fortune was a member of Vera Gemini's Cult of Harvester of Eyes. He was sent into Dr. Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum to retrieve the Eye of Agamotto. With the use of Gemini's spells, he was able to enter undetected. He briefly fought Strange himself and was able to knock him out. He successfully took the amulet from Strange. The Agent wanted to replace former Cult member Devil-Slayer as the Cult's Reaper of Souls and Agent of Death. He could only move up the ranks once he managed to kill Devil-Slayer. He waited for Payne's arrival in the Cult's temple in Mexico. The Agent fought Devil-Slayer. They used their Shadow Cloaks to travel across dimensions while fighting. Payne tried to convince the Agent that the leaders of the Cult were using him. The Agent did not believe him. He informed Payne that his cause was already lost, and his standard had fallen. The Agent of Fortune started a counterattack and managed to strike the Devil-Slayer with a weapon. He suspected that Payne was aiming to rejoin the Cult, and was determined to best his rival. A stunned Payne was surrounded by demons, who attacked him. The Agent mockingly claimed that Payne had fought his last crusade.
