History
Seven Daggers of Latveria were a team of Mutants gathered together by Doctor Doom. He had created them after noticing the activities of Professor Charles Xavier who had been manoeuvring pharmaceutical companies and operated through various shell corporations. From these actions, he determined that Xavier alongside his old friend Magneto were looking to establish a Mutant nation that would become Krakoa. In anticipation, Doom looked to gather his own band of Mutants to serve him. In the course of a year, he came to train them to serve their nation whilst warning them that Xavier's nation of Krakoa would look to abduct them. (X-Men v6 #29)
Following the establishment of Krakoa, Doctor Doom contacted Xavier telepathically and announced that Latveria would not be recognising the newly formed Mutant nation. In fact, he believed that Xavier's endeavours would ultimately end in ruin. (X-Men v6 #29)
Later on, the organization known as Orchis staged a massive attack against Krakoa where they destroyed the Mutant country causing its people to scatter. (X-Men v6 #29)
Overview
