## History

### Early Life

Victor Zsasz was born into a wealthy and loving family who wanted nothing more but to see their child smile. Unfortunately, fate had other plans and Victor's parents died in an unfortunate car accident. Victor was only five when it happened and he had nobody there for him except for his grandmother who was there for every step of the way. The older that victor got, the more reckless he became with money. He began to spend it on expensive cars, clothing, glasses and anything else that he wanted. He wasted and wasted money draining his family's fortune. When he turned eighteen things only began to get worse for him. He began to gamble like there was no tomorrow. He was horrible at gambling, but that didn't stop him. He started to sell things off like cars, clothing and anything that wasn't boarded down to the floor. His grandmother didn't even bother helping him and left back to the family home outside of Gotham.

Soon he sold his mansion and began to live in an apartment. He became an example of what happens when irresponsible people get money. But he didn't care that he wanted to continue gambling so he took out a loan from one of the Falcones to continue his gambling addiction. They agreed and gave him a bit and he kept coming back and back for more,  but at some point they stopped and wanted their money. He couldn't pay it back since he gambled it all away. They beat him to a pulp and said he had three months to collect the money he owed. He knew a job wouldn't pay him the needed amount so he panicked. His family's fortune was gone. All his family members abandoned him and banks wouldn't loan him money either. There was only one choice really or well he only thought of one choice at the moment and that was to mug people. His father had an old gun that Zsasz brought with him after he moved into the apartment. He didn't use it on the loan shark since he knew the Falcones would have killed him if he killed one of their members.

He spent two days thinking about how he will go on about this and just decided to just go for it as he barged into the gas station that was nearby and mugged the unlucky person behind the register. He was quick to run away from the scene since he was scared he may get arrested. He realized on his way home that robbing business was risky since the cops will be called as soon as he leaves or they'll press a panic button if they have one. So he began coming up with a horrible idea: he will wait till night time and rob people. Which is what he did. He held people at gunpoint and took their wallets along with anything else that held any sort of value. But one day a man played hero and tried to charge at him so he shot him in the chest straight through the heart killing them. He didn't know what to feel but he felt pleasure from it and the sudden rush of adrenaline was amazing to him.

This was when things started to change. Zsasz just started to kill the people he was robbing and all without hesitation. But after a while it got boring again. So when he killed a man who tried defending himself with a pocket knife he tried something new for a change. He carved a line into his arm to represent the kill and it felt better than ever. It was as if he was realizing stress. So he kept going with the cycle of killing and cutting. Surprisingly, he stopped gambling due to his new hobby of crime. He had paid the loan sharks their money long ago, yet he kept coming back and giving them money. They of course were suspicious, but just went with it since they thought Zsasz didn't realize it yet. After his 25th cut on his hand Zsasz stopped for a while as he realized the cops just marked his kills as another robbery gone wrong. He began to love his kills and saw them as art not crimes so he started to leave them messages on the bodies and the messages were just numbers (he carved the numbers into them). The number stood for what number the victim was. Soon he gained the name "The number killer" this was because of the numbers he carved into the bodies.

Soon the loan sharks sent someone to spy on him due to him continuing to bring money in for them even though he paid off his debt. What the spy reported back shocked the other loan sharks since they didn't expect what used to be a gambling addicted rich kid was now a cold blooded killer. The loan shark saw potential in Victor's skills so he put in a word for him. And later victor arrived at his apartment with multiple gunmen inside. Their leader spoke to Victor about joining them and since he had no actual job and the pay sounded good he agreed to work for the Falcones.

All his hits were successful and later on he once again began to cut himself to write the kill down. For some reason he felt like it was required and he didn't complain cause he loved the feeling due to realizing stress. It was almost as a way to remember his work of art that the police call "murder". Although due to now working for them,  he quit carving the number in the body since it was unneeded and he was already cutting himself so he had a better way to keep track of which he now refers to as a work of art. This is because he began to see his killing as an art. He was the painter, his gun the brush the blood the paint and the corpse was the work of art.  He is one of the Falcones most loyal members and hitman ready to do anything for them. Although he is known to work for others at times since he's allowed to do a bit of freelancing with the falcones permission that is. And that has been Victor's life so far. He went from being rich to nothing more but a gun for hire.
