Biography

Origin

He was then found by a woman by the name of Talia who told him that she sought for him to reach his potential and took him the path of revenge by targeting the people in his fathers list. To begin this, she had him take a symbol of his revenge which was that of the hooded archer. During this time, he struck and killed numerous people in Russia with people referring to the mysterious figure as Luchnik (Translation: Archer). (Episode: Bratva)

The Vigilante

Upon arriving home, Oliver was given several medical exams at Starling General, where Dr. Neil Lamb revealed to his mother that he had multiple scars, burns, and bone fractures which never properly healed. Oliver returned home with his mother to the Queen Mansion, where he reunited with his sister, Thea, and met his new step-father, Walter Steele. While struggling with signs of post-traumatic stress and reintegrating into his home, Oliver spent time with his family and best friend, Tommy. The next day, Oliver paid a visit to Laurel, now a lawyer prosecuting Adam Hunt, at CNRI, to apologize for cheating on her and his role in Sara's death. Laurel did not care for his apology, as she was still angry over his betrayal. Just then, Oliver and Tommy were taken hostage by three men wearing red skull masks, who killed a bystander in the process. The men used a taser to interrogate Oliver, demanding to know whether his father survived the accident or told him anything. However, Oliver managed to break his zip ties and killed two of the kidnappers to save himself and Tommy. When one of the skull-masked men tried to escape, Oliver pursued him through rooftops before disarming him. The man tried to plead for his life, but Oliver pointed out he killed a civilian. He snapped the man's neck, declaring that 'nobody can know my secret'. Oliver later claimed to the police, including a very hostile Detective Quentin Lance, that 'a man in a green hood' saved him and Tommy. With Oliver's kidnapping accelerating his plans, he quickly began his crusade as a vigilante, but Moira's concern for her son's safety after the incident led her to hire John Diggle as his bodyguard. Oliver had to continually ditch Diggle to proceed with his vigilantism. Oliver set up his lair in the abandoned Queen Industrial Inc. factory in The Glades, where he trained and forged his arrows. His first target was Adam Hunt for stealing many people's homes and life savings. Oliver ambushed Hunt and demanded that he transfer $40 million into Starling bank account 1141, but Hunt refused to comply. Using Tommy's welcome back party for him as a cover, Oliver waited for the deadline to confront Hunt. He was upset upon seeing Thea buying drugs at his party and secretly threw away her stash. Oliver then ran into Laurel again and lied about how the island did not change him, claiming he was still a careless playboy and she was wrong to try and see the good in him. Oliver then stormed Hunt Multinational, using a grappling arrow to break into the executive floor, where he took out Hunt's security team. Upon cornering Hunt, Oliver was confronted by Drakon, who he managed to kill after some struggle, though was knocked out. Oliver managed to escape and return to the party just as the Starling City Police Department arrived. Using a trick arrow with a transmitter he left at Hunt Multinational, Oliver untraceably withdrew $40 million from the company's bank account and anonymously returned it to those it was stolen it from. He then crossed Adam Hunt's name, the first of many, off The List. The next night, Oliver kept watch over Laurel, only to learn she'd moved on with Tommy. (Episode: Pilot)

Coming of the Demon

As part of his role as Warith al Ghul (Heir to the Demon), Al Sah-him underwent a grueling training regime and was exposed to a number of drugs to numb his mind in order to better prepare him for becoming the Demon's Head. This culminated in him killing a captive though his drug addled mind made the prisoner appear as Diggle who he killed without hesitation. Upon seeing this, Ra's al Ghul decided that Al Sah-him was ready for the next step in his training namely to eliminate any rival heirs to the position of leader of the League. As such, he went to Starling City in order to capture Nyssa al Ghul and bring her back to Nanda Parbat. His initial attempt was thwarted by Team Arrow who took Nyssa into their custody forcing Al Sah-him to resort to more drastic measures namely kidnapping the newly married Lyla Diggle. He held her as a hostage and asked that Ra's al Ghul's daughter be brought to him which Team Arrow did so reluctantly at the insistence of Nyssa. At the exchange site, Team Arrow attacked the League but Al Sah-him ruthlessly battled them until he was confronted by Felicity leading to him calling a retreat but not before Nyssa was captured. He returned her to Nanda Parbat where she was put before her father with Ra's al Ghul commanding that she be killed. Al Sah-him demonstrated no hesitation in trying to kill her but Ra's then stemmed his hand as he wanted to see his commitment to the Demon's Heads commands. Instead, he decided that Nyssa would have a role still and ordained that his daughter marry Al Sah-him to become the Bride of the Demon. Nyssa stated that she would rather die but was not given an option in the marriage with her being taken away to be prepared for the ceremony. In the mean time, Ra's al Ghul also revealed a second reason for the capture of Nyssa namely that she had taken the Alpha-Omega virus. With the virus at hand, the Demon's Head stated that for every person that becoming Ra's al Ghul they needed to destroy every trace of their past as they fully adopted the role. Thus, Al Sah-him was required to unleash the virus on Starling City and destroy it before he became the new Ra's al Ghul. (Episode: Al Sah-him)
