| abstract | - The Nightmaster is a fictional character, a sword and sorcery hero published by DC Comics. He first appeared in Showcase #82 (May 1969), and was created by Denny O'Neil and Jerry Grandenetti.
- Of the few that dare to call the dreaded Abyss a home, none is as infamous and terrifying as the Shadow Lord known as Nightmaster. Once a great hero to the Garou and a member of the Society of Nidhogg, he traveled into the Abyss long ago with his pack. Seeking out the realms secrets, his pack went mad with the nature of this realm and he was forced to put them down, one by one, till he was the only one standing in the lightless void. There, he made a pact with the Abyss itself, either becoming its slave or its master. In doing so, he sacrifice his soul to the dark, and destroyed everything in his being that was weak or natural. He now walks the Abyss with impunity, freeing those creatures suited to his whims and subduing them into his service. He is a fitting ruler for this gloomy realm.
- The Nightmaster (Jim Rook) is a mystical superhero in the DC Universe and the leader of the superhero team Shadowpact.
- Jim Rook was the lead singer of The Electrics, a rock band, who entered a run-down shop named Oblivion Inc. Inside, he was somehow transported to the strange dimension Myrra, where he was the descendant of the mighty Myrra warrior Nacht. He took his ancestor's Sword of Night, a sword with the ability to warn of danger and force a person to speak the truth (much like Wonder Woman's lasso), and became involved in the conflict between Myrra and the evil warlocks. After his adventures in Myrra, he opened a bookstore in the Oblivion Inc. and became active with other superheroes Primal Force and Swamp Thing. Starting with Day of Vengeance, he became active again as the leader of the Shadowpact. Before the Riverrock, Wyoming incident, Jim was the proprietor of a mystical pub called the 'Oblivion Bar'. It existed inside its own dimension, with its own rules and methods. For example, the bars phone does not work unless the dimension's area code is known. When the Shadowpact team entered the mystical shield around Riverrock and defeated the murderous Pentacle, they lost a full year of their lives, though they only perceived about a day passing. Back 'home', Jim discovered his bar had been taken over by a younger man, who possessed powerful telekinetic abilities. Many other people could have easily been tossed out the door but the new 'owner' could squeeze shut a trachea. Jim handled this situation subtly, mainly by ignoring him and failing to convey needed information. Jim became swept up in other events; mystical assassins attacking and other needs, mainly organizing his team into a more effective fighting force. Recently, it was revealed that the longer he's in possession of the sword, the less he ages. Rook learned that his sword is inhabited by it's last wielder, his own father.
