Biography

Davis Lamond was a social worker in Gotham City. After witnessing the corrupt inner workings of Gotham, he decided to take the law into his own hands and began targeting corrupt politicians, police and other figures. His method was attaching them to a giant balloon which would take them up into the sky, and would eventually burst and cause the victim to fall to their death.

His first victim was a corrupt businessman who had scammed people (which caused some of his victims to commit suicide after losing their life savings). When the man sneaks out a court to avoid the press, Lamond approaches him wearing a pig mask and attaches him to a balloon, taking him away. The next target is corrupt GCPD detective Bill Cranston. During the night after Cranston beats a drug dealer for not making enough money, Lamond targets him. Although Cranston manages to beat him down, Lamond manages to attach him to the balloon.

The next target is a pedophile priest.

James Gordon and Harvey Bullock managed to find his balloon stall in an alleyway. Lamond takes Bullock at gunpoint and reveals to Gordon he knows he is a good man after hearing about him rescuing Gotham's less fortunate children from being kidnapped by traffickers and wants him to join him to save the city. Gordon disagrees as he feels there is a better way than murder. After nearly being killed by Lamond, they manage to take him down and he is taken away in an ambulance. Beforehand, Gordon asks him who his next victim was, but Lamond doesn't clarify, and feels Gotham is corrupt and warns Gordon there will be more like him.
