Ra's al Ghul is a powerful wizard, leader of the League of Shades and host of the demon Etrigan.
History
Ra's and his daughter Talia have apparently encountered Bat-Prince in the past.[1]
John Constantine summoned Ra's al Ghul and asked him to bring King Jefferson and Prince Jacob back from the dead. Ra's could not raise King Jefferson, whose heart had been destroyed, but he could raise Jacob, although he warned Constantine that the prince would likely not be the boy he remembered. He agreed to do it if John would tell him where he could find a group of children with powers named the Titans.[2]
Ra's raised Prince Jacob as promised and John told him that he could find the Titans at the Kent Farm. Ra's took Talia and a squad of undead League assassins to capture the children but they were met by Bat-Prince, who took it upon himself to defend the children. Ra's summoned Etrigan but Bat-Prince revealed that he had powers of his own and was able to resist the demon's attacks. Bat-Prince and the Titans drove the League's forces away.[1]
