History:  
(Doctor Strange II#9 fb) - Before Doctor Strange was about to fight a reborn Dormammu, Clea telepathically informed and sought help from Rama Kaliph. Rama Kaliph, in turn, called on his fellow adepts Lord Phyffe, Turhan Barim and Count Carezzi,

(Doctor Strange II#9) - All four adepts journeyed to Doctor Strange's sanctum in New York, to lend assistance if needed, and were greeted by Strange, Clea and Wong.

Comments: Created by Steve Englehart (writer), Gene Colan (penciller) and Frank Chiaramonte (inker)).

We never saw Turhan Barim and Count Carezzi leave Strange's Sanctum, but they were not included in any scenes after #9 so we must assume that, unlike Lord Phyffe and Rama Kaliph, they left soon after their arrival.
