General Immortus
The past of General Immortus is unknown, even his true name and age. His centuries-long life has been extended by an alchemical potion, giving him years to gather great wealth and develop a powerful criminal organization. Immortus possesses a keen strategic mind, a bad disposition and a desire to rule humanity.
With supplies of his potion nearly exhausted, Immortus funded Dr. Niles Caulder's research to see if he could recreate the potion. Caulder would eventually discover his benefactor's evil nature and rebel against Immortus. Caulder would go on to found the Doom Patrol and continue to oppose Immortus' schemes.
