HISTORY 

Jay Otto, aka The Reaper, was one of the most elusive, deadly and masterful assassins in history, as well as the founder and executive director of Assassination SA, an organization that provided professional assassins to private persons and/or other criminal organizations. Otto was hired to assassinate Doug Danville, but failed (for the first time in his career) because Danville was secretly the masked hero Black Owl. The Reaper didn't take it well, making it personal against the Owl. Otto got hold of a replica of Black Owl's costume and began murdering people indiscriminately to destroy the hero's reputation, but ultimately Danville managed to stop the Reaper and clear his name in the eyes of the public opinion. However that was not the end of Jay Otto. He managed to escape from prison and became a true supervillain, obsessed with hanging the Black Owl's head in his trophy room. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Otto was an advanced hand-to-hand combatant. He was deadly with the knife and possessed unerring marksmanship with a large number of firearms. He also possessed tactical, interrogation and investigative skills. The Reaper was a very expensive assassin for hire and thus he had a small fortune with which he financed a uniform and gadgets (including his own version of the Silent Swooper) similar to those of the Black Owl.
