Silver Dagger is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe.
Silver Dagger was a former criminal who was also a former Cardinal in the Catholic Church. He was driven mad by reading the Darkhold in the form of the Shiatra Book of the Damned. He became a religious zealot and a sorcerer and began destroying other sorcerers and magical beings, believing them to be great sinners. He took his name from his weapon, a silver dagger dipped in holy water, a traditional means of destroying demons.
Silver Dagger once infiltrated the Sanctum Sanctorum and threw a silver dagger into Doctor Strange's back. He stole the Eye of Agamotto while Strange was pulled into the necromantic Orb of Agamotto.
Silver Dagger had also enslaved Marie Laveau at one point, and battled the Werewolf by Night, and has himself been trapped several times in the dimension of Agamotto.
