History:Victor Zsasz is not insane. He is not a lunatic and he does not need to kill. He WANTS to. He wants to experience the sensation of murder because he likes the way his victim's eyes roll back in their heads as he plunges his knife into them and frees them from their pedantic, repetitive lives. But Victor Zsasz is not insane.

Zsasz was a successful business man who ran his own property development business, and who was involved in contracts with Wayne Enterprises and Luthor Corp before he turned. His wife left him, he fell into drink and then experienced suicidal depression, and when he went to the docks to drown himself, that all changed. A homeless man attempted to rob him, and in the struggle Victor got ahold of his knife and killed his attacker, and it was then that he realised what was missing from his life. From then on Gotham was the victim of a horrific murder spree, where people had their throats slashed and were left in lifelike positions for the police and citizens to find them. It took months to find the killer, and it was only by a sheer fluke. Because Victor Zsasz wanted to remember each life he took, and he wanted to feel that little bit of pain so he understood what his victims went through, so when a business partner of his saw the mark on his wrist, the tally marks, Victor snapped, and murdered half a dozen prominent business men and women on security camera, and after a weeklong manhunt, Batman brought him in, and for six years he wasted away in Arkham Asylum, waiting, plotting, planning for his next chance to kill, and to gain his revenge on Batman...

Something to note is that Victor Zsasz is no known relative of Victor Szasz, as their names are spelt differently.
