Biography
Deacon Frost
Deacon Frost was a scientist looking for the key to immortality. For one of his experiments, he kidnapped Ilsa, a young woman, in order to inject her with the blood of a recently killed vampire. Ilsa's fiancé broke into the lab and in the resulting scuffle, Frost accidentally was injected with the blood himself. The result was that Frost became a vampire but due to the unusual method of his becoming a vampire, he was endowed with a unique characteristic. Anyone he turned into a vampire would generate a doppelgänger. He could create an infinite number of doppelgängers by biting each doppelgänger, and they would all be under his mental control. (Tomb of Dracula v1 #13)
