- Unclean, they call me. Perverse and sick, I hear them whispering. That's why Doctor Leviticus prefers graveyards. So much quieter, yes, yes.

Doctor Leviticus was a ghoulish but brilliant physician and inventor.
History
Among her medical accomplishments was the discovery of a means to revive dead bodies through the use of Electrum, a process that was used by Gotham's Court of Owls in the resurrection of their Talons. Leviticus was further commissioned to create a method of recording and deciphering encrypted information so as to protect the secrets of the Court, leading to the invention of the Book of Wisdom and coded Electrum coins.[1]
A century later, Doctor Leviticus had become a liability to the Court's international offshoot—the Parliament of Owls. Leviticus was hunted down in Romania and captured by Raptor, one of the Parliament's elite agents.[2] Instead of executing Leviticus, however, Raptor and his partner Nightwing offered the doctor protection from the Parliament in exchange for information on the Book of Wisdom. Doctor Leviticus agreed, and for her cooperation she was given her own room in the God Garden, far from the reach of the Parliament of Owls.[1]
