N'astirh is a fictional character created by Marvel Comics as a demonic inhabitant of Otherplace.
N'astirh first appeared in X-Factor #32 and was created by Louise Simonson and Jon Bogdanove.
N'astirh was a demon with great magical skills and a master manipulator. Despite his power and loyalty to his lord Belasco, Belasco passes him over as a potential apprentice, seeing demons as fit only to be servants. When Illyana Rasputin rises up to replace Belasco as lord of Otherplace, N'astirh steals Belasco's spellbook and flees from Limbo into Earth's past. After years of study, he masters all the spells in the book.
N'astirh makes an alliance with Cameron Hodge. N'astirh's demons then kidnap Artie Maddicks and Leech. Using Belasco's stolen book of spells, N'astirh sends demons to abduct mutant infants, and is brought computer expert Wiz Kid as a captive. N'astirh is informed by Cameron Hodge about Mister Sinister's orphanage for mutant children. N'astirh coerces Wiz Kid to create a computer to process magic. When the Hobgoblin offers to make a Faustian bargain to trade his soul for the power of a demon, N'astirh scoffs at the offer, and on a whim, he grants Hobgoblin the requested power free of charge by fusing him with a demon, which would eventually break away to become the Demogoblin.Archangel vows vengeance on N'astirh for the encouragement he provided to Cameron Hodge. N'astirh also makes a pact with Madelyne Pryor, who uses this alliance to get revenge against the Marauders and the safe return of her son Nathan.
