Becoming adept in the mystic arts while in the treacherous sorceress's court, once upon the nation and its peoples return to present time. Hagen would manipulate the situation to instigate the exile of it's former king after instilling himself as the nation's prime minister, and defacto leader, by controlling the empress Mera through a mix of narcotics and sorcery. While passing his orders along as her word, Hagen and his cult secretly conducted number of atrocities upon atrocities while using their influence to hide it from the unenlightened masses. Ultimately seeking to enact a grand plan that would purge humanity from the face of the Earth and assert Atlantean dominance via malefic arcanum, seeking to transform the sea's denizens into monstrous abominations with which to annihilate surfaceborn civilization. When his plans failed, he cursed the queen regent with lungs seeking to drown her former puppet to spite Aquaman. He was later killed in an attack by the deranged Spectre when Garth of Atlantis tried to extract the information on how to undo the queens enchantment from his warped mind. The city destroyed as a consequence.
