History
Edward Wells A.K.A. Cormorant is an alcoholic ex-soldier and freelance mercenary turned contract killer.[1] He is an enemy of Batgirl. He is hired by an unknown client to kill Luciana Alejo. It is initially thought to be Branson Moore, her political rival, but Wells attacks him too. Cormorant eventually breaks into Alejo's building as a janitor and seemingly kills Batgirl. Jason Bard who was hired as her bodyguard and other security try to hold him off but Bard is wounded and the others are killed. However, before proceeding any further, Batgirl throws a Batarang into his gun and it explodes, taking off his fingers. In order to escape, he holds a gun to Alejo's head and threatens to kill her if they don't let him go. Batgirl tries to negotiate with him, but before he agrees, Bard shoots him in the head and merely claims he saved his client from a psychopath.[2]
