500 years ago the one who would be known as the criminal mastermind De Kapital wagered his soul in a game of chance with an unnamed dark lord. And actually won! And for his prize he was granted immortality. But even when you win against the forces of darkness you never TRULY win. Something he learned when he was sent to the guillotine during the French revolution. True to the bargain he survived the experience, only now with his head separated from his body. And to this day he leads his criminal organization, his venom tongued sidekick/maid Raquel at his side ever ready to send a snide insult his way. (which he seems to take some perverse pleasure in) A big thorn in the sides of every law enforcement agency and superhero in the world.
