**Doctor Babylon** is a former Janissary who joined the ranks of L.E.G.I.O.N. as the Minister of Pride.

He serves as the organization's lead scientist and head of it's science division, the Ministry of Pride itself.

## Biography

Osman grew up in Constantinople (now known as Istanbul) amidst the rise of the Ottoman Empire. In his mid 20s, he decided to serve as a Janissary for the empire. Osman saw his fair share of battles and assassination attempts. He stopped a total of seven assassination attempts on the great Sultan. With each battle and assassination he became smarter, stronger and more experienced on the battlefield, earning the trust of the Commander-General, fighting by his side over many battles including the siege of Constantinople.

After a terrifying battle several months later, Osman witnessed the death of his friends and the Commander-General. He swore to avenge them by killing as much of the enemy soldiers as possible before dying himself. It wasn't until reinforcements arrived that the odds were changed victory was at hand. From there, he left the Janissaries and the military to pursue science.

He met the Morningstar sometime later. The Morningstar gave Osman an offer he couldn't resist. However, it cost him the trust of his family but his pride got the better of him and he has served L.E.G.I.O.N. as the Minister of Pride ever since.

AS a former Janissary, Doctor Babylon is highly trained in infantry and hand-to-hand combat, making him one of the most difficult ministers to fight because of his superior skill. He has also trained the entire Pride Helltroopers, Swarmtroopers and Shocktroopers in a similar fashion to the Janissaries, in which they served as the primary division deployed worldwide on Devil's Night.

## Personality

Compared to who Osman once was, he is now an entirely different person since joining L.E.G.I.O.N. and becoming the Minister of Pride. He cared about his family and wanted to keep them safe, one of his reasons for joining the Janissaries. War changed him for better and worst but his pride got the better of him when the Morningstar recruited him.

Now as the Minister of Pride, he takes great pride in his work and has a cold heart. Abandoning his family and everything he stood for long ago, the only thing that matters is the Morningstar's goal and how Doctor Babylon can make sure he reaches it, now believing his service is the only thing he lives for now.

Doctor Babylon has one of the most cruel personas of all the Ministers, alongside Marcus. He shows no mercy whatsoever and doesn't value the lives of innocents at all, making sure nothing stands in his way.

Being the third oldest Minister, Doctor Babylon has always never entirely gotten along with the younger ones, mostly Persephone because the Morningstar raised her as his own, leading to Doctor Babylon becoming concerned he might turn soft and abandon his goal of global domination.

## Appearance

Osman appears to be in his 60s despite being much older than he appears, like all the other ministers, he is extremely strong, smart and agile despite his age. He has no hair and wears L.E.G.I.O.N. robes with pieces of armor on his shoulders, legs and chest. He also has an eyepiece covering his left eye.

After Persephone destroyed his lab, Osman loses his right arm and his eye is damaged, hence he becomes augmented, given a prosthetic arm and the eyepiece is replaced with a new one surgically fitted to his head. He also has cybernetic brackets fitted to his chest and back, followed by wires under the skin, originating from the back of the eyepiece to the back of his head.
