 Cagliostro appears in this movie as Spawns mentor. In real life, he  was an occultist in the 1700s that traveled all over Europe and  Egypt, and would eventually found Occult Freemasonry. He was also a  noted charlatan who would eventually be imprisoned in the Bastille  and banished from France, then tried in Rome for heresy, magic,  conjury, and Freemasonry. He died in solitary confinement in the  castle of San Leo in 1795.
