As a young man, he engaged in acts of evil and debauchery where he lived only for experiences for his senses. This was until one day when a great tragedy came in his life causing him to feel shame and disgust over his life. Thus, he decided to seek out redemption and heard tales of a powerful mystic known as the Ancient One. Mordo sought this figure out with him going on a seven year long trek till he eventually found the person he was looking for in that time. He was taken in by the Ancient One who accepted him unconditionally and with love with Karl surrendering himself to the man he now called master. Thus, a new life began for him that he believed consisted of humility and selflessness as he became his master's chief disciple. By the mid-20th century, his master had told him of a vision he had experienced during his meditation. Inside the vision, he saw a boy that was destined to become his heir and take the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme. With that in mind, the Ancient One tasked Mordo with being the boy's mentor when the appointed time came to pass with Karl accepting. However, in reality, he resented the idea of an outsider taking the mantle when he himself was the disciple of the Ancient. This resulted in him journeying via astral projection to the home of the 8 year old boy in Nebraska with the child being a young Stephen Strange. Using his magic, he implanted a psychic construct designed to plague the boy to steer him away from his destiny and assailed him with nightmarish demons. However, the Ancient One had learnt of his actions and banished the demons away whereupon he wiped all memory of this encounter from Stephen Strange's mind. Mordo feigned contrition and was given forgiveness by his master with him being accepted back into the Ancient One's good graces. (Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme v1 #85)
