Bio: Born to an orphan, separated from his father before birth, and thrown into a culture he would never fit into because of his skin color and his abilities. The odds were stacked towards Donovan becoming a mirror image of his father Dominic... but the house doesn't always win.

His father and mother were both abused in the same orphanage, located in Gotham city. They developed a close bond through their pain, however, and a child was conceived. They were both adopted before the child was born, however, and the mother soon moved with her new family to China.

From a young age, Donovan showed skill fighting, and never lost a match in his Martial Arts classes. At age 10, his mother died from heart complications. He was found by Talia al Ghul, standing in a pool of blood in a back alley in Hong Kong. He had killed a criminal who had pulled a knife on him and demanded his money or his life. She brought him into the League of Assassins because she saw great potential in him judging by the skill and remorseless brutality with which he fought an armed assailant at such a young age.

For one year, he trained vigorously under Talia and high-ranking members of the League of Assassins. By 14, he was able to make master combatants yield to his skill in battle. When his training was complete, he became an assassin, and much like his father, he was one of the best at what he did. That same year, he learned the identity of his biological father, and found that he was an assassin for the Hell Patrol, a Gotham based gang of anarchists. His father, Dominic Dialvo, was on the run after the imprisonment of the leaders of the gang. Donovan requested his father's presence and sent for him with the help of the League.

Dominic and Donovan met, and Donovan learned the reason why he was such an adapt fighter. He and his father were meta-humans who shared the same abilities which augmented their fighting abilities and the speed at which they learned. For a time, they trained together, and went their separate ways as Dominic returned to the states to free his allies.

At age 16, he was ordered on the last assignment he would perform under the League of Assassins, or anyone for that matter. He was ordered to execute two witnesses to a crime that would implicate Ra's al Ghul in a high-profile political assassination. The targets: a mother and young son. Donovan refused to carry out this assignment, and stayed with the family to protect them from future League members that would set their sights on them.

To his suprise, Talia al Ghul was sent to eliminate both he and the family. She proved too great a match for him, and he was tossed from an eight story window. He failed to protect the family, and this caused a great deal of pain and anguish for him, external and internal.

He was found by his father on the brink of death, and was nursed back to health in secret. When Donovan came to, he and his father spoke about the events in their lives since they last met. Dominic had left the Hell Patrol, and was now wandering the earth as a nomadic warrior. Dominic agreed to teach his son to avoid the target painted on his forehead by his actions against the League of Assassins, and informed him that the best place for him to go would be Gotham City because of the presence of the Bat-family, and other new heroes that had emerged in recent years.

Donovan sought out the elder Sensei and trained under him for a short time, hoping to improve his skills before he, too, had to flee the country. He went on to Gotham City, and his father to continue traveling the world. He took up the alias White Fang and began operating as a vigilante in Gotham.
