Why does everything living age and die? Was there a way to stop or reverse it? [/sblock][sblock]For years he threw himself into reseach and experimentation, but made no visible process. Frustrated he turned from science to occultism, earning a lot of ridicule from the academic community for it. For years, no one heard or saw anything from Doctor Landsdowne. He spent his complete fortune on his occult research, but his efforts were frustrated every time. In the end, Mortimer was destitute, half-mad and stuck in a village in the Carpathians. Sick of it all, he decided to take his life. He went up the mountains to a ruined castle and threw himself off the walls. He fell and landed hard on the cobblestones. When he lay there, his life fading away, he heard a voice, offering him what he had craved for so long: power over life and death. Mortimer accepted ...He returned to Gotham a changed man. No longer subject to many weaknesses of the flesh and able to raise the undead, he set out to test and increase his newfound powers. During his first raid on a cemetery (to acquire ... material) in Gotham, he was stopped and defeated by the Batman, who surprised Mort before he even had a chance to use his powers. During the short fight Mortimer fell unluckily and broke his neck. Left for dead he woke up in the city morgue. He quickly escaped, took refuge in the sewers and now plots his revenge on Batman.[/sblock]Appearance[sblock] Doctor Mort is pale and gaunt. He really doesn't care much about his clothing and his white hair is cropped short. His blue eyes burn feverishly and there is something oddly ... wrong about him.
