Message: <blockquote data-quote="Padreigh" data-source="post: 5318634" data-attributes="member: 75826">The Witch Hunter Background[sblock] Ezekiah Jones was an avid fighter against devilry and witchcraft, travelling all over the south of England in the first half of the 17th century. He was judge, jury and executioner in one and dozens were brought to the stake by him. But Ezekiah was not doing God's work, quite the opposite. In exchange for riches and looks Ezekiah had struck a deal with Satan. All of his (innocent) victims were people who had opossed Hell's plans in minor (or sometime major) ways and therefore had been sentenced to die by the Prince of Lies. One day Ezekiah's crimes caught up with him. Familiy members and friends of his victims ambushed him, killed him and burnt his body. The ashed were put in a lead urn that was sealed and stored in a church. His murderers made up a story about Ezekiah had lost a fight against Satan himself to save a village (after all, he was an appointed witch hunter and they were afraid of repercussions). That should have been the end of Ezekiah's story. But it wasn't ... Some weeks ago, his urn formed part of an exhibition on witchcraft and witch trials in the 17th century at a small museum in Gotham. A bunch of amateur satanists broke in and stole several items to use them in a ritual. They had heard the story about Ezekiah's fight against Satan and wanted to defile his remains as part of the ritual. When they broke open the urn and dispersed the ashes in a pentagram, they got more than they bargained for. In a flash of fire, the ashes reformed and before the frightened ritualists the form of the witch hunter rose. But before more could happen, a third force interfered. The Batman had found the thiefs and immediately engaged them and Ezekiah. The witch hunter wasn't too sure what to make of the batlike creature, felt dazzled and confused from his rebirth and was easily defeated by Batman. He fell out a window into the river and drifted under water out of the side of Batman. The last few weeks he spend licking his wounds, gaining control of his abilities and finding out more about this ... Batman. [/sblock] Appearance[sblock]Ezekiah is very good looking: dark-haired, grey-eyed, tall and slim. He his clad in his old witch hunters uniform: long coat, dark 17th century clothes and the trade-mark broad-brimmed hat. He carries no obvious weapons. He is soft-spoken (with an old-fashioned British accent) and can be very charming. But if you pay close attention, you'll notice the hellfire burning in his eyes ...
