Nugent is a human that resided in the Bradbury Americana Hotel in New York City, home to a multitude of strange and fascinating mystical beings. He was instrumental in the creation of a database comprised of countless arcane lore that he intended Amanda Seftonto use in her new role as Magik, guardian of Limbo.

database and had evolved, traveling into the past to conquer the Splinter Realms, ensuring it's own birth at the same time. Magik instructed Nightcrawler to teleport to Nugent's hotel room, where he proceeded to destroy the database, effectively weakening The Archenemy long enough for Magik to destroy it with the Soulsword.
