Ravager

William Walsh was a bitter military veteran with deep and violent ties to the dark past of Slade Wilson. Originally operating as a ruthless mercenary known as the Jackal, Walsh was the man responsible for kidnapping Slade's youngest son, Joseph. When Deathstroke arrived to rescue his boy, Walsh retaliated by slashing Joseph's throat, permanently severing his vocal cords and leaving him mute. Walsh managed to escape the encounter, sparking a deeply personal and bloody feud with the world's deadliest assassin.

Years later, Walsh returned to psychologically torment his old enemy. He adopted the mantle of the Ravager, intentionally stealing the mercenary code name of Slade's deceased eldest son, Grant Wilson. Walsh donned a costume nearly identical to the one Grant wore and began operating under the stolen title to draw Deathstroke out of hiding. His entire adoption of the Ravager identity was a calculated, cruel strategy to weaponize Slade's grief and lure him into a meticulously planned trap.

Appearance: Ravager has fair skin under his armor. A white textured helmet covers his entire head and neck. Red eyes are visible. His torso is covered by a dark blue form-fitting sleeveless garment that reveals extremely defined pectoral and abdominal muscles. A red bandolier with grey cylindrical ammunition runs diagonally from his left shoulder to his right waist. His upper and lower arms are encased in white textured armor plates that follow the contours of his heavy musculature. A metallic silver band with a bright white four-pointed star ornament is on his right upper arm. He wears a red belt featuring a black skull emblem at the center. His lower torso and upper legs are covered in light blue tight-fitting leggings. Underneath his pelvic region, three silver-colored metallic spikes are visible. His right leg is encased in a large red boot with a wide, flared cuff that displays a black skull emblem. His left leg has a red boot with a thick black vertical stripe extending from the shin to the tip of the toe.

Personality: William Walsh is driven by pure sadism and a vindictive obsession with psychological torment. He completely lacks the strict professional code that many top tier mercenaries follow. Instead, he prefers chaotic cruelty and takes immense pleasure in finding the emotional vulnerabilities of his targets. He is a highly calculating manipulator who views collateral damage and innocent lives simply as leverage to be exploited for his own twisted amusement.

His existence revolves entirely around his burning hatred for Slade Wilson. He views the elite assassin not just as a rival but as a canvas for his own brand of suffering. He treats the extended Wilson family as nothing more than convenient props to be broken or mocked to elicit a reaction from Slade. He holds absolutely no respect for the legacy of the original Ravager, seeing the stolen identity only as a sharp weapon to twist in a grieving father's back. He frequently surrounds himself with disposable hired guns and terrorist factions, but he maintains zero loyalty to anyone other than himself.

William Walsh is a highly trained military veteran and ruthless mercenary with extensive experience in guerrilla warfare and black ops tactics. He is an expert marksman and a brutal close quarters combatant, relying on vicious and lethal strikes rather than refined martial arts. Lacking any superhuman enhancements, he compensates with a sharp aptitude for psychological manipulation, frequently setting elaborate traps and exploiting the emotional weaknesses of his enemies.

He equips himself with high grade military hardware, including advanced assault rifles, sniper rifles, and specialized explosives. As Ravager, he wears a tactical combat suit that visually mimics the original costume worn by Grant Wilson, modified with reinforced plating for protection against small arms fire and bladed weapons. He frequently carries a variety of combat knives and sidearms to ensure he remains lethal at any range. Similar to Deathstroke he carries an energy lance, a staff that can also discharge an energy blast (strong enough to destroy aircraft, and even injure powerful metahumans).
