When Dream of the Endless arrives in Hell to retrieve his helm of office, he mocks the Lord of Dream for being powerless, dismissing him as a mere soul who lost his way. Nevertheless, he lets the monarch pass, fearing repercussions from Lucifer. For his insolence, Dream hits him, sending him flying.
At the behest of Etrigan the Demon, Squatterbloat returns to his duty at the gate, while he escorted Dream to Dis.
The former wife of Adam, Lilith is the first woman created by God, banished from the Garden of Eden for her refusal to be subservient to her husband.
Becoming an all-powerful goddess in her own right, she became known as the goddess of blood, witches and wronged women. Appearing before those who called upon her, she would grant them boons of power and immortality, on the condition that they did not exploit or corrupt this gift for their own personal gain. To summon her, one must use an image of her.
Among her worshippers was Esther Finch, a witch who had been driven from her homeland at Port Townsend after she killed her husband and his mistress. Granting her the immortality she craved, Finch grew to hate Lilith after realising that she had not been given eternal youth, believing that the goddess had tricked her.
During a fight with Esther, Crystal Palace called upon Lilith to help defeat her former acolyte. Enraged that one of her own votresses would dare to defile her power, by sacrificing hundreds of little girls to sustain her vanity, she travelled to the mortal plane to personally deal with Finch. She dragged the screaming witch away, ending her hold over the town.
On their daughters’ twelfth birthday, she and her children were kidnapped. She was killed by her captors, leaving Kate to be cared for by her father.
While their father, Colonel Jacob Kane managed to recover Kate, her captors passed her on to the Religion of Crime. She was groomed to become their operative, taking on the name “Alice.”
Based in Paraguay following the end of World War Two, Heinrich Von Fuchs managed an operation that gave people extraordinary metahuman abilities, at a high price.
In 1948, his operation was attacked and seemingly destroyed by Niles Caulder, taking both Von Fuchs and Eric Morden – his latest patient – out of commission.
As an agent working in association with The Brotherhood of Evil, Fuchs’ defeat was a huge setback for the group.
A low-ranking and barely tolerated member of The Brotherhood of Evil, Eric Morden sought to make a name for himself after the group unceremoniously fired and replaced him with Monsieur Mallah.
Travelling to Paraguay in 1948, he took part in the illegal experiments of Heinrich Von Fuchs, paying a king’s ransom in exchange for superpowers. While the procedure was a success, it was interrupted by the arrival of Niles Caulder, almost killing Morden, and setting him on the path to becoming the nigh-omniscient threat; Mr Nobody.
Ultimax, aka The Brain, and Monsieur Mallah showed little concern for Morden’s welfare in the attack, choosing to focus instead on the defeat of Fuchs and his lucrative metahuman operation. They went on to refer to their former associate as “insufferable.”
Employed by Ultimax, aka The Brain, Maureen was the receptionist at The Brotherhood of Evil’s headquarters during 1949, the height of the organisation's power.

Part One:
*Damian goes about his school day. He knows he is being watched, but can't do anything about it. Not yet at least*
Damian Wayne: (IM) I've been trained by the best of the best. I know when I'm being watched. It's difficult maintaining a civilian identity. Too many unexplained absences and people begin asking questions. I've promised Father not to draw too much attention to myself... and I'm going to keep that promise. Still, it wouldn't do to waste any time. One does not keep Talia al Ghul waiting.
