Saturnine is a powerful demon, and at one time the guardian of the Road of Lost Souls. Saturnine served under the fallen angel now turned hell lord
Asmodeus, existing in Asmodeus's hell realm. There he existed for centuries, encountering many other demonic beings such as
Zarathos. A bet between the two powerful devils Asmodeus and
Mephisto result in more confrontations between Saturnine and Zarathos and Johnny Blaze. The two traditionally bonded as the
Ghost Rider, they had been separated and set the task of escaping Asmodeus's part of hell which meant passing over the Road of Lost Souls, guarded by Saturnine. Although Saturnine out powered Blaze and Zarathos after they tricked him and used his body as a bridge the demon accidently impaled himself after losing his temper and running chest first into a sharp piece of the bridge.
