Biography[]
Roger Huntoon was a British psychiatrist and the administrator of the Ravenscar Secure Hospital. At some point in this career, he was also the head of Arkham Asylum in the United States. Huntoon held a strong grudge against one of his patients, John Constantine, on account of a woman that the latter had seduced from him. It was Constantine who gave Roger the unflattering nickname of "Piggy".
Roger Huntoon was the author of a pop-psychology book, titled Pow! Psychology: Understanding the Super-Men (and Women); it focused on the dangers the superhumans represent.
Roger later became the director of Arkham Asylum in Gotham County. Reporter Lois Lane did a story about Roger Huntoon during his tenure at Arkham. Roger later confronted her to express his displeasure that none of his quotes were used in her article. [1]
Roger Huntoon eventually retired from Arkham Asylum. The vacated position was given over to Jeremiah Arkham.
