History:
(Wolverine II#141 (fb) - BTS) - Khyber is a man of mysterious origins, who appears to have a cyborg body equipped with sharp claws, as well as an army of sub-human soldiers and access to vast technology. Under unknown circumstances, Khyber stored technology inside a safe house belonging to Cable in the Swiss Alps.

(Wolverine II#141) - Riding a sky-sled of some kind, Khyber showed up with his soldiers, finding Donald Pierce had appropriated his technology to create a golden battle suit. Khyber found Pierce battling Wolverine and Jubilee outside Cable's safe-house. Ordering his men to destroy the safe-house, Khyber launched himself at Pierce and ripped off his cyborg arm. Wolverine stole Khyber's personal craft, fought back the army, and saved Jubilee before the safe-house collapsed. Khyber departed peacefully, promising to return and confront Wolverine one day.

SECRET WARS III HAPPENED

(Weapon X-Men II#1 (fb) - BTS) - Khyber stole an Adamantium cache, but in return Baron Strucker stole it from Khyber's subterranean lair inside Mount Benacantil in Alicante, Spain.

(Weapon X-Men II#1) - An ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. contact of Wolverine (James Howlett) tipped him off about the Adamantium and found Khyber's corpse inside the lair after fighting his way through a few of Khyber's robot sentries.

Comments: Created by Erik Larsen, Leinil Francis Yu, and Dexter Vines.

Very little is revealed about Khyber. He shows up near the end of the issue with very little explanation. He could be an alien, a cyborg, a technology user, a mutant, a mutate, a time traveler or anything else. There is a lot left to explore here.

Wolverine knew about Khyber, but I am not sure if he ever even met him. It was the Skrull that encountered him the last time around. Maybe an adventure we didn't know about?
