The League of Shadows is a group created by Ra's al Ghul to assist him with his goals to save the world.[1] For brief time they were led by Lady Shiva. Following the Shadow War, the group left with Angel Breaker[2] and is currently being led by Nyssa Raatko.[3]
History
The League was originally thought to be nothing more than a myth created by Ra's al Ghul to frighten his followers into submission, but in reality, they were created by Ra's to stop mankind's course of destroying itself. After learning of Ra's true purpose for the Shadows, Shiva turned them against him and used them for her own path of destruction and power.[4]
At a later point in time, Connor Hawke, the estranged son of Green Arrow, washed up on the shores of an unknown island, where he was rescued by the League of Shadows. They offered him an invitation to join their ranks, as they needed a "champion" to enter the League of Lazarus tournament and bond with the Lazarus Demon. Connor accepted the offer, intending to stop their plan to awaken the demon. The Shadows sent Hawke as their champion of the League of Lazarus tournament and monitored him vigilantly.[5]
After participating in the Shadow War, the League of Shadows left with Angel Breaker. At some point, she met up with Nyssa Raatko, who took control of the group. Nyssa created a safe haven known as Samsara, hidden in a valley in the Himalayas, and seemingly remade the Shadows.[6]
