DeSaad

DeSaad is a henchman of the overlord of Apokolips, Darkseid, who is infamous for his sadism as he draws power from others' agony.

Originally from New Genesis, DeSaad wasn't always as sadistic as he is now. He used to be nothing, but an innocent youth, until he encountered Darkseid. On one of his secret trips to New Genesis, Darkseid noticed the young lad had two favorite animals, a bird and a cat. One day the boy came home to find his bird missing. Finding feathers on his cat's bed, Darkseid told the boy that it's his job to avenge the bird by killing the cat. DeSaad took the cat in his back yard and buried it alive. On his return, he found the bird back in his cage. In a fit of rage, he killed the bird. Manipulated and corrupted by Darkseid, DeSaad accompanied him to dark Apokolips.

Before Darkseid took up his god-name, he was called Uxas. He and his brother, Drax and DeSaad used to visit taverns in their younger days. DeSaad was the first one to take up his god-name. Always switching between the brothers, DeSaad was able to give Uxas information on what Drax and Izaya of New Genesis were up to, and able to gain information on the Infinity Pits. DeSaad was the only one Drax ever called a friend. It was Desaad who designed the clothing to be used in the Infinity Pit. Never expecting anything when he went into the Infinity Pits, DeSaad double-crossed him, and got Uxas in there, too. Because of this, Uxas was able to obtain the Omega Effect, and become Darkseid.

The only real joy DeSaad gets out of life is being able to feed off of the pain of others. DeSaad has been known to spend days at a time torturing the same person or thing. Using a specialized syphon, DeSaad can drain the emotions from his victim or victims. In one case, during one of the battles between Orion and Kalibak, DeSaad used his device to siphon the energy away from Orion and put it into Kalibak. He then used his syphon to drain away the emotions of pain and anguish from Orion. DeSaad was caught by Darkseid and faced the effects of his Omega Beams. One of his favorite emotions is the breaking of a soul once it enters the training facility on Apokolips. DeSaad even suffered a coma when he tried to break Orion's spirit, but none of his machines could do the job and the gadgets suffered overload. To DeSaad, everything is worth risking to savor the pain of others. DeSaad's name is a play off the Marquis de Sade. It is from his name the term "sadism" comes from.
