Azrael

Azrael: Jean-Paul Valley, better known as Azrael, is a vigilante who formerly operated out of Gotham City. Most of his extraordinary abilities come from severe amounts of subconscious training and conditioning he was put through during his youth, unaware that he was being controlled by a 500-year old devout religious sect called the Order of St. Dumas. Named after the Angel of Death, Jean-Paul Valley is actually descended from a long line of crimefighters using the Azrael suit and name. Although in his initial appearances, his psychological conditioning led him to become an often remorseless killer in the name of vengeance, lengthy time spent with the Batman Family led him to distance himself from the extremist views of his ingrained teachings and to a more responsible and humane approach to Justice. As Azrael, his main nemesis was Carleton LeHah, an evil man of wealth who believed himself to be serving the demon Biis, the Order of St. Dumas' sworn enemy. Valley served for awhile as the second Batman when Bruce Wayne's spine was crippled during the events of Knightfall, although he would later be forced to relinquish the role. His career ended when he was apparently killed being shot and falling off of a balcony at the hands of LeHah. However, recents events around the DC Universe have been foreshadowing his possible return.
