Cogliostro is perhaps one of the oldest stallions around, at the age of 300. He is the de-facto leader of Maretropolis' homeless and the mentor of Hell Phoenix.
Origin[]
Cogliostro has been around since Equestria's medieval times. Back then he was a powerful Hellspawn known as the Hell Knight. However he desired to commit good-hearted deeds and redeem himself for the sins that had cast him into Hell. Malebolgia, who was a Lord of Hell and the one who turned Cogliostro into a Hellspawn, did not like this and stripped Cogliostro of almost all of his powers. This almost cost him his life in a battle against an angelic hunter. Cogliostro then lived on throughout the rest of time due to his immortality up until the modern days. He had become a leader figure for the homeless people of Maretropoli. He would eventually teach the powers of a Hellspawn to the bounty hunter and Power Pony Dark Shadow A.K.A Hell Phoenix.
