History
Khan Digifer is a legendary "Devil" of the Computer World that wishes to wreak widespread havoc on the Human World. He made a quite reputation that Gridman, the police of Hyper World, was sent to stop him.
Their chase culminated to their arrival at Computer World, the world within computer systems in which Khan sought to exploit the brilliant yet introvert young man Takeshi Todo and have him designing digital kaijus which he then bring to life as his thralls to attack Computer World. Around this time, Gridman chose Naoto as his host and partner to combat his threats.
At a brief turning point in their conflict, Khan had Venora hacking a factory to worsen the city's air pollution, all while broadcasting the kaiju's progress in digital world in the sky for the world to see and culminated with it defeated Gridman. With that, he announced hie and Gridman's existence to everyone to crush their hopes. This backfires horribly with Gridman's victory as King Gridman and their conflict now became a public knowledge.
He later upgraded himself into a powerful, child-like version of himself called "Giant Khan Digifer (in Japanese: 巨大カーンデジファー Kyodai Kān Dejifā) for his final battle with Gridman, destroying Gridman's Helper Vehicles and overwhelming him. Khan Digifer was ultimately destroyed by the Grid Hyper Beam.
