HISTORY
Though Ra's al Ghul was the founder of the League of Assassins, he eventually put much of the control of it in the hands of the Sensei, an aged martial arts master from Hong Kong. The Sensei would later struggle with Ra's al Ghul for the control of the organization. For a time, the Sensei was possessed by the spirit called Jonah, who in Sensei's body was responsible for the murder of Boston Brand, who became Deadman after his death. After a struggle with Deadman and Rama Kushna, Jonah was destroyed and the Sensei resumed control of his body. For a brief time, the Sensei assumed leadership of the League of Assassins. Among other crimes, he brainwashed the Bronze Tiger to kill Batman's friend Kathy Kane. Shortly afterwards, he engaged himself in a fight to the death with Ra's al Ghul, during which both of them were swallowed by an earthquake. Ra's survived thanks to his rejuvenating Lazarus Pit. The Sensei was not so lucky.
