Ra's al Ghul

Ra's al Ghul is the leader of the League of Shadows and also a member of the council of the the Light.

Personality
Ra's al Ghul is a fierce and imposing leader treated by his direct subjects with most respect and reverence, as evidenced by Cheshire bowing down in his presence and addressing him as "Master." Despite having their total submission, Ra's only provides his assassins with the information they need to fulfil a job, seeing as both Cheshire and Sportsmaster were unaware that the assassination attempt they had to carry out against Lex Luthor was not supposed to be successful.

History
After the peace summit between North and South Rhelasia came to naught, Lex Luthor came in to act as an arbitrator. Ra's al Ghul sent two of his assassins to kill Luthor and sabotage the negotiations. However, it turned out he was in cahoots with Luthor and this was all but a coup to ensure the reunification of Rhelasia under the control of Lex Corp and the Light.
