Biography
The man who called himself Doctor Aesop was a minor crimelord operating out of Gotham City. He patterned his demeanor and his activities after stories from Aesop's Fables. Aesop sent two wolves to run down a low-level thug named Lefty Knox in the spirit of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". Knox evaded the wolves with some help from Catwoman. Aesop was unaware that the man he tried to kill was actually Batman in disguise.

A more powerful adversary known as Hush, deciding that nobody but he reserved the right to kill Batman, shot Doctor Aesop, seemingly to death.

Aesop miraculously survived, but kept quiet for several years. He eventually resurfaced and came into conflict with the Gotham City Sirens.
