HISTORY

Judson Caspian swore vengeance on criminals after the death of his wife and began to stalk them down and kill them across Gotham City. His actions were brutal, but did bring about a drop in the crime rate during the 1950s.

Caspian eventually emigrated to Europe, and on his return discovered that Gotham was once more riddled with crime. He donned his scythes and armour once more, his actions bringing him into moral and physical combat with the Batman. He did not survive this encounter, and his role as the Reaper was later assumed by his daughter Rachel .
