Doctor Glitternight is an extra-dimensional being with strange powers over the substance of the human soul.
Glitternight was able to exploit the Werewolf's lover, Topaz, by stealing a portion of her soul. She was eventually restored to sanity, and after discovering what Glitternight had done to her, Topaz fought and defeated the villain, regaining her soul in the process.
Glitternight also altered the werewolf curse upon Lissa Russell, mother of Nina Price, and removed the curse from Lissa. Although the curse did not skip Nina, an altercation with a vampire altered the curse for Nina and caused her to become both werewolf and vampire in one.
Glitternight has an additional (if rarely used) ability that allows him to control the minds of several breeds of dogs, namely the Aspin dog, the Dutch Shepherd Dog and the Maltese. [1]
