Kent Nelson, more commonly known as Doctor Fate, is a powerful sorcerer who was one of the founding members of the Justice Society of America. Doctor Fate is also a protector of Earth and swore to bring all evil to justice.

## **Backstory**

Kent would grow up as a normal child amongst his peers, taking a special interest in archaeology. Kent would usually explore certain areas and would one day travel around the world with his father. One day, he would be exploring the Valley of Ur in Mesopotamia with his father. His father constantly talking about how the pyramids were made by extraterrestrials and how aliens were the cause of them, soon leaving Earth with them to return one day to reclaim their lands. Kent wouldn't believe his father that much as he was exploring around, trying to find interesting things to write down and draw. He stumbled upon a statue of Nabu, this shocking him and his father. Kent and his father would release Nabu from his statue and smoke would engulf his father as he watched in horror.

His father would choke on the poison gasses and die, Nabu exiting his chamber looking down at Kent and his dead father. He swore to teach Kent the secrets of the universe and become a mentor for him, soon taking him under his guidance. Kent would train with Nabu until he became an adult, finally becoming an agent of the Lords of Order and would fight against the Lords of Chaos.

With this, Nabu gave Kent an amulet, cloak and helmet to become Doctor Fate.

Ever since then, Doctor Fate fought for the greater good and swore to bring all evil to justice.

## Background

Ever since Kent became Doctor Fate, he has been fighting against evil for at least 10 years. Learning new powers along the way and learning how to deal with the Lords of Chaos is a challenge that he still faces every day. His daily life consists of discovering ancient tablets and translating them, along with finding ancient artifacts and bringing them to safe locations including Salem, Massachusetts. This is where the Tower of Fate is located and where Kent lives on a daily basis, soon becoming a certified Doctor and physician.

Salem is also where he would meet his future lover, Inza Cramer. Inza would be a companion of Kent for a long time before they started to bond and become attached with each other, soon getting married and having a son. He would name his son Kent Nelson Jr, continuing his legacy in hopes that one day his son might take the mantel of becoming Doctor Fate.

Knowing that his family would most likely be in danger, he placed them in the Tower of Fate in hopes that they wouldn't be found and hurt. The Lords of Chaos and other villains knowing this, try to manipulate this fact and threaten his family to provoke him. Kent would value his family very much and will do anything to protect them, no matter the cost. It is the one thing that Kent values most other than being Doctor Fate and it is one of his weaknesses, a very dangerous thing that could be used against him...

2002 would be an important year for Kent Nelson as this was the year his family would be kidnapped by a Lord of Chaos known as Garn Daanuth. She would try to ransom them both to Doctor Fate for his amulet and his helmet, trying to strip away his powers from him. Kent being conflicted and disillusioned almost agreed until he remembered his training, refusing and using one of his spells to teleport his family away from Daanuth. Daanuth and Fate would fight above Salem, causing a big scene that would blow the power in Massachusetts entirely. Eventually the police would be involved and civilian lives were in danger, including his family and it would be causing a big scene. Fate seeing this, opened a portal somewhere random in the universe and pushed Daanuth through the portal.

After the dust settled, Doctor Fate had to lay low as the news went worldwide and everyone now knew who "Doctor Fate" was. They didn't know his personal name but they now knew that he existed and that he is a protector of justice.
