History: (Doctor Strange & the Sorcerers
Supreme I#1 (fb) - BTS) - Bohra became the apprentice to famed Camelot
wizard Merlin. At some point, Bohra became a being later known as the Forgotten, dubbed VIII.
(Doctor Strange & the Sorcerers Supreme I#1 (fb))
- When Merlin brought the Forgotten XII to be locked away in the Hollow Out of Time, Bohra
reported Merlin's actions to King Arthur Pendragon and followed the
King to confront Merlin. Merlin announced that he did not need King
Arthur's permission and prepared to lock away XII, prompting Bohra to
reveal himself as the Forgotten spy VIII. Attacking Merlin, VIII was
hit by a spy from Merlin that revealed VIII's true form and VIII
declared that Merlin could not cage what he didn't understand. Merlin
agreed, but denounced VIII as evil incarnate, shoving VIII into a cell
with XII.

In his human guise, VIII/Bohra did possess eyes and hair but the only image of him in this form had a green magic hue to it so it was impossible to determine what his actual eye and hair color was.
The Forgotten eventually became a gigantic gestalt
being and VIII/Bohra was likely part of this gestalt but since it was
never shown for sure, I chose not to list the appearances of the
gestalt Forgotten in this profile in favor of mentioning those
appearances in a larger profile of the Forgotten.
