Rory Regan is a vigilante who initially sought revenge for the destruction of his home, Havenrock, of which he was the sole survivor. However, the Green Arrow convinced him to cease his crusade and use his powers for good. For some time, Rory operated as a member of Team Arrow, using the mystical rags of Devarim to fuel his magic, using the codename Ragman, as suggested by Rene Ramirez.

Rory Regan was born and raised in the town of Havenrock to a Jewish family and became a skilled inventor in his youth. By age 11, Rory's father started giving him the family's homebrew schnapps, despite him being well under the drinking age. Rory's family owned possession of ancient mystical rags from the time of Devarim, granting its user the ability to extend them like limbs. Later that year, with the knowledge that a subsidiary of AmerTek Industries developed the missile that destroyed his town, Rory sought revenge on the company and traveled to Star City. He first targeted Evan Wender, the Vice President of AmerTek. Rory used his rags to suffocate and seriously injure Wender. The following day, Rory ambushed a medical clinical event held by Mayor Oliver Queen and attacked Janet Carroll, AmerTek's CEO. Rory pinned Caroll to the wall and tried to strangle her with his rags. However, Rene Ramirez intervened, ripping off a piece of Rory's rags, before he fled. The next night, Ragman, as he became known, attacked an arms deal between Carroll and Tobias Church, going after the former. The Green Arrow appeared, helping take down Church's thugs, before convincing Rory to let Carroll get away. Later, Rory met with the Green Arrow, who revealed himself to be Oliver. Oliver convinced Rory to give up his quest for vengeance and make his father's memory proud by joining the former's team.

Aligned with Team Arrow, Rory used his magic powers to greatly assist the team, for example, in defeating Derek Sampson. At first, he almost refused to join after hearing the truth about the Havenrock incident from Felicity Smoak, uneasy with being on the team with a person whose very existence would remind him of the tragedy. However, thinking it through, he agreed with assisting Oliver, and took part in later missions.[3] He was the one to save Adrian Chase from Tobias Church and his thugs, using his extreme durability to take all shots for the team, as well as using his rags as "tentacles" to catch bullets shot at his allies.[4] Ragman took part in the final assault of Team Arrow on Tobias's operations, once again using his rags to take down multiple thugs.

Rory, along with the rest of the recruits, disapproved of Oliver's secrecy policies when it was revealed that he's been hiding the List from his new allies, along with his earlier identity as the Hood, since even Curtis Holt, a more or less veteran team member, did not think that the Green Arrow was the same person as the Arrow. Rory specifically said that he figured out Prometheus's message, explaining to Oliver that the villainous vigilante means to show that Oliver Queen is the real serial killer. Later, when the recruits went to discuss the revelations, Rory presented his teammates with jars of his family's homebrew schnapps, which he's been drinking himself since the age of twelve. Rory also visited a concert organized by the Star City Mayor's office, with Evelyn Sharp noting that he's finally started to smile a little.

After Havenrock's destruction, Rory Regan has shown a violent and vengeful demeanor, as he bares a deep mourn for his late family and former home. Since his recruitment to Team Arrow he reveals a more level-headed and calm personality. Overall, he has shown a remarkable understanding nature. After learning of the part Felicity Smoak played in the destruction of his home, despite the agony of this knowledge, Rory was remarkably civil to it, understanding that Felicity was put in a no-win situation. Shortly afterwards, he was able to make peace with her and return a positive working relationship.

Despite his generally kind yet reserved nature several of his team members including John Diggle and Rene Ramirez deem him a "weirdo" though Rory doesn't seem to very phased by this. As noted by Evelyn Sharp though Rory hardly smiles but during his time spent with the team he has started to lighten up more. He is shown to be very talented engineer and is very faithful towards his Jewish heritage, even after meeting the meta-human Barry Allen, who he was a fan of prior to meeting, and extraterrestrial Kara Danvers.

Like the other recruits Rory understandably annoyed when they learned Oliver hadn't informed them about Prometheus. Furthermore, when Oliver revealed that he was "The Hood" who used The List to target those most corrupt in Starling City, Rory like the other recruits were quite shocked, even horrified, to learn Oliver was a borderline serial killer. Rory even made the observation that information sharing seems to be exclusive between Oliver, Diggle and Felicity and not the recruits, similar to Rene's analogy of Team Arrow having an "A-Team" and a "B-Team". However Rory does seem to have forgiven Oliver since.

Rory is very intelligent, being the first to suspect the message Prometheus was sending in his killings, was in fact an accusation to Oliver that he was the serial killer, under his "Hood" persona. He was also the first to suspect that Prometheus may not be Justin Claybourne as initial evidence implicated and was proven right.

equipment: Devarim rags: To protect him from the nuclear blast that destroyed his home, Havenrock, Rory was wrapped in ancient, mystical rags from the time of Devarim (the Biblical period when Moses and the Israelites wandered in the wilderness after leaving Egypt before arriving in the Promised Land). He is somehow able to control the rags and extend them out, using them like tentacles to grab targets. They are strong enough to restrain, drag, lift and throw fully grown humans with ease, as well as suffocate them. He can also use them to lift himself up to high areas. While wearing the rags, he was strong enough to drag and lift up humans with one hand.

They slither, move, and grow to grab, lift, or throw heavy objects.
