Past
Though not much was revealed about Vordigan's past, it was revealed that he was part of a secret Celtic society. He also trained Oliver Queens to be a skilled archer.

Smallville
Some time after Oliver left the group for unknown reasons, Vordigan left to find him in order to fulfill his role as a "master archer." Vordigan tried to get Queens' attention by shooting Lois Lane with his arrow through her shoulder. The Dark Archer then processed by attacking Chloe Sullivan at the Watchtower. Vordigan then sought out Mia Dearden, a student under Oliver Queens' wing and managed to kidnap her. After successfully kidnapping Mia, Vordigan then placed her in a maze. He told Oliver that he had to fulfill his role by succeeding, and killing his master.

After Oliver refused to kill Vordigan, Vordigan went after Mia to kill her. After he found Mia, Vordigan shot three of his arrows simultaneously directly towards her. Oliver saw the arrows and jumped in front of Mia. Just as the arrows were about to kill Oliver, Clark ran in front of Oliver and saved him. While Clark was in front of him, Oliver shot an arrow at Vordigan hitting him in the same place Lois was hit. However, Oliver decided not to kill Vordigan. Later, talking with Mia, Oliver says that Vordigan is in prison, and he's worried about the day he'll be released, old and still eager to be killed by him.

Some time afterwards, Vordigan was somehow released from prison, and was recruited by Winslow Schott as a member of the Marionette Ventures. He was assigned to be kill his former apprentice: The Green Arrow.
