— The Chief

Doctor Niles Evelyn Caulder, also known as The Chief, is a scientist dedicated to protecting the world from his powerful daughter Dorothy by outliving her. After causing several events that disfigured and traumatized several people, but increased their lifespan, as part of his experiments, Caulder brought them all together as the Doom Patrol, planning to keep them safe from the hate and fear of the world as consolation for what he had done to them, which he believed was for the good of all existence.
