— The Cavalier

Hudson Pyle, the Cavalier was a stunt man with extensive training in swordplay who became a Gotham City vigilante.

History

This brought him into conflict with the Batman, although Hudson was allowed to remain active because of his high skill level. Tragically, he fell in love with a woman who had committed murder, and was forced to turn to a life of crime to protect her. This involved killing a number of men in organized crime who would otherwise have condemned her. After a dramatic sword fight with Batman, he was forced to give himself up... to save the woman he loved from a life in prison, he ran directly into police gunfire with an empty pistol, and sacrificed himself.
