History
The First of the Fallen was the ruler of Hell[1] and the owner of The Morning Star club in New York City.[2]
When Zatanna comes to his club to convince him to join them in fighting against the Otherkind, he dismisses her as a child and attempts to negotiate with one of them called "The Soup". When this fails, he attempts to call in demons but it is revealed the rest of the otherkind had already anticipated this and attacked the demons in Hell. The Soup then drowns The First of the Fallen in acid and apparently kills him.[2] His death is later confirmed by Detective Chimp who states that hell is now in a civil war.[1]
