History:  Grog is a member of the Heliopolitan race of gods, whose leading members were once worshipped by the people of ancient Egypt.  Grog has served the Heliopolitan death god, Seth, for millennia.   Recently, Grog participated in Seth's war against Asgard, the home of the Norse gods.  Grog, the mightiest of Seth's warriors, served during this war as the commander of Seth's legions, and took his orders directly from Seth himself.  Seth ordered Grog to take a force of his mightiest warriors to Earth to kill the Asgardian thunder god, Thor, whom Seth held responsible for the loss of his right hand.  Thor, Captain America (then in the costumed identity known simply as the Captain), and the modern day Black Knight fought and defeated Grog and his troops on Avengers Island.   Grog's troops escaped through a dimensional warp, and it was intended to imprison the captured Grog in the Vault, the United States government's maximum security prison for superhuman beings.  Grog, however, soon regained his freedom and returned to Seth.   During the ensuing war between Seth's legions and the forces of Asgard, Grog defeated Thor, most of whose superhuman power had been temporarily removed from him by Asgard's acting monarch, Balder.  Grog took Thor prisoner and stole his enchanted hammer.  However, even without his full might, Thor succeeded in breaking free, defeating Grog, and reclaiming his hammer.  Ultimately, Thor regained his full powers.  Moreover, toward the end of the war, Asgard's true monarch, Odin, temporarily bestowed his own power on Thor so that the latter could battle the demonic Surtur on equal terms.  Grog was inside the Black Pyramid, Seth's headquarters in the Heliopolitan "dimension of death" when the gigantic Surtur seized the pyramid and hurled it at Thor.  Grog apparently died when the pyramid was thus destroyed in the battle, and Seth and his legions were defeated by the forces of Asgard.  however, even if Grog is dead, it must be observed that the Egyptian death god, Seth, may well be capable of restoring Grog to life.
