Silver Dagger is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Silver Dagger was a former criminal who was also a former Cardinal in the Catholic Church. He was driven mad by reading the Darkhold in the form of the Shiatra Book of the Damned. He became a religious zealot and a sorcerer and began destroying other sorcerers and magical beings, an executioner of the wicked, believing them to be great sinners. He took his name from his weapon, a silver dagger dipped in holy water, a traditional means of destroying demons.
Silver Dagger once infiltrated the Sanctum Sanctorum and threw a silver dagger into Doctor Strange's back, believing him to be a demon-spawn. He also imprisoned and attempted a brainwashing of Clea, but became trapped in the dimension of Agamotto. He stole the Eye of Agamotto while Strange was pulled into the necromantic Orb of Agamotto.
Silver Dagger conquered the dimension within the Orb of Agamotto. Returning to Earth's dimension, he battled Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, and Marie Laveau. He was stabbed by Leveau, and returned to the dimension of Agamotto. Some time later, Silver Dagger surrendered his left eye to Agamotto, who awarded it to Doctor Strange. Silver Dagger then attempted to slay the Werewolf by Night. With his troops, he battled the werewolf motorcycle gang, the Braineaters. He was bitten by the Werewolf and left at the mercy of his own troops, and his eye was inexplicably restored. Silver Dagger then escaped from Agamotto's dimension once again and his own troops were explained. He battled Doctor Strange using his own Eye of Agamotto for the first time, but was taken into custody by Agamotto again. Silver Dagger later battled Doctor Strange, Clea, Rintrah, and Pip the Troll.
