History
No one knows exactly when he was born, but he does claim to have been alive for over 600 years. What is known is that Ras' Al Ghul was a doctor in North Africa in the Middle Ages. His wife was killed when he offended the son of a Sultan. Ra's was consequently buried in a pit along with the man who's life he saved from the Sultan's son.
Ra's al Ghul discovered the secrets of immortality within the Lazarus Pit. Using his immortality for gain, he became quite powerful in the world, with his own small, devoted cult.
As time passed and he realized that we are destroying the world, he has taken up a policy of environmental terrorism in order to safeguard the future. Ra's has made his life's goal to cleanse the world of it's overburdening population in an attempt to save the ecosystem, this translates as a wholesale slaughter of 99% of the worlds population or just under about 6 billion people.
He will use whatever means and force necessary to achieve his twisted vision of a new Utopian society.
