After more interrogations Lord opens up to Waller about his parents, his deceased troubled genius father and his bereaving powerful mother who compelled him to take power with whatever he could. He also recalls how he rose to power within Checkmate; he and the Black King Jason Cameron were trapped and due to fight to the death against some cultists before Lord convinced the Black King to sacrifice himself for the greater good. Waller also implies that he cleared out the other powers within Checkmate using his manipulative powers.
