Biography
Arthur Parks was born and raised in New York City by two uncaring parents. During his childhood he was constantly bullied both in school and in his own home, which made him grow into a bitter man who hated everything around him.

Parks eventually approached the Roman Empire of Carmine Falcone, one of the biggest criminals in New York. For three years he worked as a low level thug, stealing places and "sending messages" to Falcone's enemies, mainly the Black Mask.
