He and his cult spent a year tracking Jack Russell, the increasingly feral Werewolf by Night, the blood of whom Belial thought could be used to "reinvigorate" his followers by turning them into werewolves.

[2] The Werewolf by Night fled to New York City, where the superhero Moon Knight attempted to aid him.

[4] Morning Star planned to use Moon Knight as a human sacrifice, and afterwards to have his followers drink the blood of the Werewolf by Night to give them "the power of the Beast".

Moon Knight and the Werewolf by Night later infiltrated the cult, returning to Morning Star's offices, where they engaged in battle to defeat the rest of the members.

During this melee, the Werewolf by Night threw Morning Star from the roof of the 41-story Tishman Building, killing him.
