Horrid screams snapped John Masiatto out of his daze. The job, playing lookout at the Museum of Natural History, was supposed to be easy. They'd come in, he'd play the tourist taking some photos while the others did the heavy lifting, he'd notify them if any guards were coming their way and he'd try his best to distract them. Same as he's been doing for the last 10 years. An easy night at work. But those screams, like nothing he'd ever heard.

It made him sick to his stomach, and it seemed like no one else heard them. He'd had enough. Something about it didn't seem right. The voices sounded familiar, like those of Emily and Annie. John made some mistakes recently, and he knew punishment was around the corner for him, but this couldn't be it, could it? He had to see for himself. The blood curdling screams got louder as he sneaked his way down towards the service floor of the Museum.

When John locked eyes with the ancient relic that had been calling to him, he felt his life unraveling. It drove him mad and commanded him to do unthinkable horrors, and, helplessly, his body complied. John Masiatto woke up three days later, chest bloodied and scarred, with a slowly creeping alien coldness. There were no doubts that his life would never be the same.

Unable to face his wife and daughter, John decided that it would be best if he left town and start new in Gotham City.

On The Run:
John Masiatto moved to Gotham City from New York City to escape his past.

Addiction to Sleeping Pills:
Because the source of his power drives him mad with eldritch nightmares, John has developed an addiction to prescription-strength sleeping pills.

John Masiatto--Dead?:
Afraid that he may harm his family, John let his family believe that he died.

New Identity:
John now goes by the name Carter Blake, complete with Fake ID, to lay low while in Gotham City.
