Victor Zsasz

"Dead I am the life, dig into the skin. Knuckle crack the bone, 21 to win! Dead I am the dog, hound of hell you cry. Devil on your back, I can never die!"

- Zsasz to an victim

Victor Zsasz is a deranged serial killer convinced that life is an torture. To him, it doesn't matter who he kills, he just wants to "save" as many people as possible by killing them. He carves a mark, for every kill, onto his own body, saving a spot for Batman.

Being send to the Asylum
In Batman: Arkham Asylum, Victor is the first real villain that Batman will actually encounter after Joker escapes. He keeps an Arkham Asylum guard hostage in an electric chair, and Batman had to be stealty and use the gargoyles around the electric chair and knock Victor down without being seen. Later in the game, Victor is ordered to get doctor Penelope Young to give up her research notes. He does this by threatening her with a large kitchen knife, until the Batman comes to the rescue. What happened to Zsasz after being knocked out by Batman is unknown, but it is implied that he escaped while Batman was fighting Quinn's goons who had arrived, as his body was not seen in the room during it. Later on, after Batman is drugged by Scarecrow's fear toxic, Zsasz appears in Batman's hallucination. He is not seen again after this.

Working for Barzinis and death
He later moved to the France City, and lived in Mid Town, which became a living hell after he come there, when the crime rate sharply rose due to him being an mass murderer and working for the strongest family, the Barzini Family. Zsasz became their Security Guard and instead of being payed in money, he was getting an victim he can kill sent to him by Domenico Mazza. In 2015, Freaky Willy sent his spy Anthony Gatto to take care of him.

Zsasz sat in the passenger seat of a Barzinis car driven by Francesco Barzini, and when Gatto rammed their car in New Town, Zsasz and Barzini left the car. Zsasz wielded a throwing knife, while Barzini had a shotgun. Gatto gunned down the two of them, and Zsasz was even run over with car and then again shot several times in chest, while Francesco managed to escape, wounded.

He was the second Victor in the family, after Victor Barzini.

Zsasz's Past
Zsasz was once a rich gambler but he lost his parents when he was younger. He started to lose on gambling and lose money. After more gambling he started to regain his money. But when he gambled with Raul Marina, Zsasz lost it all. Shortly afterwards, a thug pointed a knife at him and asked for money. Without knowing Zsasz grabbed the knife and stabbed it into the thug, killing him. Zsasz said that plunging the knife into the thug felt good, but when the thug died, the feeling was gone. Before he knew it, Victor accidently cut himself with the same knife, and that felt just as good. So in order to feel the enjoyment, Zsasz decided to kill someone, and cut a mark into his skin for every kill.

After Batman manage to track down Zsasz, Batman took out Zsasz and rescued the hostages.

Quotes
"Dead I am the one, exterminating son. Slipping through the trees, strangling the breeze. Dead I am the sky, watching angels cry. While they slowly turn, conquering the worm!"

"Dead I am the pool, spreading from the fool! Weak and want you need, nowhere as you bleed. Dead I am the rat, feast upon the cat. Tender is the fur, dying as you purr!"
