Brand was hired by Jason Faust to torture and kill people Faust hated, using voodoo. Dracula later killed Brand and made him into a vampire. Faust defeated Brand using his voodoo, but the evil Doctor Sun was able to revive Brand.

Brand defeated Dracula, but when Brand turned on Doctor Sun, Sun destroyed Brand.
