## Background

### 1993 - 2012: Brant al Ghul

Brant al Ghul is currently the youngest son of Ra's al Ghul, the infamous & immortal leader of League of Shadows. His mother was a former child star, who had lost her fame as she neared her 30s. How the two came into contact is all speculation though Evelyn being one of his many mistresses is not far fetched. Evelyn was killed shortly after giving birth to Brant by the decree of Ra's after an assassination attempt on his life.

Brant was raised in the Shadows but unlike his siblings, he was more of an intellectual than a fighter. That's not to say that he was without his physical talents. Taught under the members of the Inner Circle, Brant developed impressive archery, marksmanship, swordsmanship & combat skills. But despite Brant's intellectual & physical feats, he was a child at heart.

### 2012 - Present: Brant al Ghul

When Brant was nineteen, his father sent him to Nanda Parbat to spend some time away from Infinity Island. In addition to learning under Master O-Sensei, he spent time with the All Caste & the Arashikage Clan. However, he was sent away from the All Caste by its new leader Essence after Brant spoke out of turn. If it wasn't for the intervention of O-Sensei himself, blood would have been spilled. Following that interaction, Brant split his time between O-Sensei & the Arashikage until he met a woman known as Kitty.

Though Brant trained many others, he took a special interest in Kitty & the two would have sessions from dusk to dawn. He was much more skilled than her, with her never having the upperhand in battle. But during one of their training sessions, Kitty used her sexuality to distract Brant, allowing herself to pin him. The two then engaged in some intimate activities through the night & continued through the morning. This trend continued for the following weeks as the they trained all day then made love all night. But one morning, Brant was awaken before Kitty by O-Sensei who received word from his father that he was to return to Infinity Island.

After Brant's return to the island, he gained many lovers to replace the spot left by Kitty's absense. After a year of this, he recognized a familiar face in one of the training rooms with the Dragon. Not wanting to interrupt a training or reveal his presense, he instead sneaked into the trainees quarters that night & found Kitty in her room. Seeing her old lover, she gleamed with joy & the two spent the night together. But for some reason, Brant still was one to wander.

One night, Brant spent some time with Kitty before going off to seducing one of the new recruits of the League. The next day, the women discovered his duplicity & engaged in combat. Ra's caught a visual of the fight, causing the two women to stop in their foolishness & apologize for their actions. To their surprise, he smiled then ordered them to continue their brawl but this time, to the death. The other trainees watched as the women went on throwing jabs & kicks until Kitty delivered a blow to the other woman's head that took her down for the count.

Though Ra's was impressed by the woman's skills, he did not approve of her & Brant's relationship. In hindsight, it probably encouraged Brant to continue seeing Kitty. The two continued this game of Brant seducing women then Kitty battling them in a rage. Twice, Ra's has married Brant off in order to end the affair between the two but each time, Kitty challenged the women to a duel for Brant & won. Finally accepting that maybe she was the women for his son, he has given their relationship his blessing to continue. However, there has been no word of his blessing of a marriage.

Outside of his personal life, Brant has used his intellectucal abilities to form several business fronts to hide some of the League's actions across the world. In the world of politics, business, technology & science, Brant has maintained powerful connections as well as various people to blackmail for the League's goals.
