Fearing a negative public reception from having genuine magic powers, Sargent formed a stage magician persona to disguise his abilities.
The character appears of East Indian descent and is an adversary of John Constantine, having usurped her father's name as Sargon the Sorceress and his position within the Cult of the Cold Flame.
He was a stage magician, dressed like a swami complete with turban, to disguise the fact that he wielded true mystic powers, passing off such feats as illusions.
[3] Taking his professional name from the ancient king of the same name, Sargon has had a checkered career, acting mostly as a hero during the Golden Age aided first by his lady assistant Flora Styles, and later by his cartoonish fat little comic relief sidekick / manager Maximillian O'Leary as he battled crooks, spies and his azure-skinned archenemy the Blue Lama, the Queen of black magic.
Sargon answered the summons of Constantine to participate in a ritual at the mansion of Winters to help deal with the effects of the Crisis on Infinite Earths, using the Swamp Thing as their portal into the war being fought in Hell.
In a final act of will, Sargon apologized for his outburst, calmly sat in place and was burned alive without a whimper, never letting go of his colleagues' hands the entire time.
[6] Sargon would later return in Swamp Thing, "borrowing" the body of an elderly German man named Koestler and planning to lead the souls trapped in Hell in an assault on Heaven.
He presumably joins in the fight against the guardians of Purgatory when a team of living heroes arrives to bring back the soul of Hal Jordan.
Sargon appears briefly in Justice League Dark, where he is mentioned as one of the great magicians of the past age, among peers such as Zatara and Dr. Occult.
David was tricked into signing away his grandfather's estate over to the two men, who then prepared to force him to find the Ruby when the Helmet of Fate suddenly appeared.
[7] In the Constantine: The Spark and the Flame, Jamini is revealed to have taken the powers of her father (who has since became corrupted) and his role in the group, calling herself "Sargon the Sorceress", and set her sights on Constantine as both sought to reconstruct a mystical item known as the "Croyden Compass", a magic artifact that can seek out magic power sources, intent on increasing her already formidable sorcery.
Constantine reveals that his son's eyes are the lens they sought but frees the Riddling Butcher, an enemy of Jaimini's father in the past, and leaves her to fight the demon after predicting she would emerge victorious.
