Kadlec

Biography
Kadlec, also known as the Seeker, was a member of the genetically engineered humanoid race known as the Inhumans. He served as viceroy under the previous king of the Inhumans' city-state in the Great Refuge. When the king was killed, the Seeker believed that his successor, Black Bolt was responsible, and sought to capture all of the reigning members of the Royal Family.

The Seeker searched for them for many years, though they always succeeded in remaining hidden. The Inhumans had an altercation with the Fantastic Four however, which alerted the Seeker to their presence. Pulling together an entourage, he mounted an attack against them at the Fantastic Four's New York headquarters, the Baxter Building. The first to be captured was Triton, but then the Seeker discovered the inert form of the Dragon Man. Mistaking the Dragon Man as an Inhuman, he brought it back to his lair.

Only after performing an analysis did the Seeker realize that the Dragon Man was just an artificial life form. The Fantastic Four managed to track him down, and the Seeker offered to return the robot to them. At this point, the Dragon Man awakened and began wreaking havoc in the Seeker's lair. The Seeker ordered his men to open fire on the Dragon Man, but this proved ineffective.

After the Dragon Man debacle settled down, the Seeker directed his attention back towards Triton, who was still his captive. Triton's hydro-containment suit had been ruptured leaving him in a weakened state. The Seeker took Triton with him as he abandoned his headquarters, unaware that Reed had planted a tracking device on him.
