Orphaned from a young age, he was a former residence of the Gotham Orphanage, which fell into disrepair and poverty due to the illegal usage of the charitable funds by the city's corrupt politicians. During Batman's first years of operations, Nashton uncovered the conspiracy through work, leading him to murder associates of the Falcone Crime Syndicate and bring revenge on the city. Despite his admiration of the Dark Knight, his operations drew him into conflict with the vigilante. Edward Nashton was born to an unknown woman who abandoned him at the Gotham Orphanage shortly after his birth. He was left with only a basket and initials, with it suggested he was given his name by staff. Though highly intellient, Edward grew up an outcast due to his inability to speak or communicate with others. At a young age, he learned that his mother had been committed to Arkham Asylum, eventually dying whilst being treated at the hospital. At the orphanage, Edward suffered its harsh conditions due to lack of funding, with rat infestations and lack of heating leading to the injury and deaths of some of his fellow residents. One traumatic incident was when he was bitten by a rat. Edward was also bullied from other children for his lack of commutation and apparent difference from them. He would turn to puzzles and riddles to distract himself from his suffering. Edward also took an interest in chemistry, being able to create glowing jars and explosives. One account suggests he once took revenge on one of his tormenters by tricking him into mixing an explosive concoction incorrectly, leading to the bully's disfigurement. During the November of Batman's first year, Nashton finished several cases for his firm, including a client account and financial investigations for a divorce paper. The latter was completed before schedule, with him managing to uncover an offshore account owned by the husband. During that night, Nashton spent time on online message boards, including the puzzle-based nigma.org. On one, he learned of the vigilante Batman and his activities around Gotham, beginning his admiration for the vigilante. Inspired further by Batman, Edward soon decided to begin his own vigilantism to cut through any boundaries he faced at work or with corrupt officials. However, he came to believe that he was bringing vengeance to Gotham and its citizens rather than the criminals. He soon bought equipment from a weapons shop, planning to use it in his own investigations.
