===POWERS===

Powers: Isenstein has no super powers, however this does not hinder him. He has trained with an apprentice Ra's al Ghul when his family had died in an automobile accident, leaving an infant Albert in the wreckage unharmed.


Skills: Isenstein has excellent combat skills with various weapons: Knives, Tomahawks, shurikens, swords, and even his hands. He was taught by an apprentice of Ra's al Ghul to use the shadows to his advantage, making him hard to find and trace when he vanishes within the darkness.


Weaknesses: Isenstein is human so anything that can kill a human can kill him. He cannot harm the innocent or bystanders, making it difficult for him to kill someone in broad daylight or in front of people. He has a soft spot for children so he is unable to harm them, to kill in front of them, or even to take hostage.


Equipment: Isenstein has two switch blade knives, fifteen shurikens in his coat, two tomahawks strapped to his stomach, and a Ming dynasty sword. On top of all the weapons he has a black trench coat, his mask, a long brim black fedora, a bottle of white hair dye in his pant pocket in case of emergency, black dress pants with black dress shoes, and a small gps device that allows him to hack into almost anything.

Add: The Black Sword and the Red Sword: The blade was originally made by Wu Shen (I think so) and the metal was mined near Hechi, China. The metal was noted for its strange durability and almost strange weightlessness. It was melted, crafted, and used against other heroes by its owner Wu Shen *Might be wrong with this one, I get names confused * as the Shadow Demon of the East, a famous assassin who fought against several heroes. One fight proved the unusualness of the metal and that fight was against Superman, where Wu Shen (again confusal names) had attempted an ambush during Superman's rescues. He was able to stab through the shoulder but was knocked half away across the city with sword in hand (which forced him to retire). That blade is the Black one. The other blade was crafted by Isenstein but it uses a mock metal that could only cut through brick with no problem but steel with problem. If scrapped against another metal it catches on fire. Is this enough or do you really not want to take the hit?

===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===

Personality: Isenstein's has a intellectual's personality. He talks with a very refined voice, smooth and calm, without stuttering or saying "Um". He is brilliantly insane, having plans that would other wise seem mad and impossible but doing so with full (to somewhat) success. In a way, he is a mad genius. However, this is only when he places the mask on. When he takes off the mask, he places another on himself to hide his true identity. The way he sees it, Isenstein is his true identity while Albert Lawrence is his real mask. When he is Albert, he becomes a weird, shy, "freelance journalist" who has arrived in Jump City in order to "find the scoop that will bring him to the top of the journalist food chain". When in reality, he arrived in Jump City to change the people's view on the so called heroes, planting a belief that the heroes have really created the criminals


Strengths: Ambitious, Genius, Psychopath, Hacker, Charmer, and has a great sense of humour


Interests/Habits: Both Isenstein and Albert have an interest towards Supergirl. It's really strange but when asked why he likes her, he simply answers "It's the cape".

===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===

Family Members: Hei Cheng (Father) Leonard Cheng (Father)
Place of Origin: London, England
Current City: Jump City
History: Albert was born in London under a very well off family, the Lawrences. They have dipped their hands in the pockets of many men with their banking company, using policies that would generally steal others money right from out under their noses. One of the worse cases was when they had stolen from London mafia members, leaving the mafia leader of the Brennen Elites in a sour mood. So sour that he had ordered a hit for the entire family. From uncles to aunts to cousins, the entire Lawrence family was murdered in cold blood. The parents of Albert were saved last. They were driving to Scotland, to a harbor that they owned to escape the United Kingdoms, until their car was run off the road by a van that was sent towards the couples car by a hitman. Albert's parents were crushed but their son, who was a month old at the time, was alive in the back seat of the car. The hitman held a gun to the babies head, about to end Albert's life, but for some reason the cold blooded killer could not end a life of a child. So he took the child under his roof along with his partner, Hei Cheng, a former apprentice to Ra's al Ghul.

Hei Cheng had completed his training with Ra's when he was eighteen and had met Leonard, his life partner, when both of them were paid to kill the same target. Hei Cheng killed the target but he let Leonard take the money for the contract. They started a partnership at first but somehow ended up marrying one another. Albert to this day never understood how this lead to marriage but he never questioned his foster fathers.

When Albert was five, he was given an offer to carry one Hei Cheng's legacy as being the "White Mask Killer". He accepted the offer because at the time he thought the name was "cool". He regretted the decision a week later until he was eight when he killed his first target. The training was brutal, intense, and forbidden to discuss but in the end Albert became a cold blooded killer like his fathers. Before he took his first life, he lived in Dublin, Ireland.

His first contract was to kill a man named Michael O'brien, a store owner who smuggles weapons for the IRA. Albert remembered how he killed the target, not with a gun, but with a cleaver. He made sure the man suffered first for his crimes and then decapitated him. The next day he had brought the head of O'brien to his contact, who puked at the sight of the head. Hei Cheng and Leonard were proud of him.

It wasn't until he was fifteen that his crimes in the UK were noticed. The Justice League were getting reports of a masked killer roaming the kingdoms, murdering "innocent" people. The thing is, Albert never killed anyone who had no history with crime. He wanted to kill people who deserved it. He was taught that way by Hei Cheng and his partner, to slaughter the wicked. The League had sent in a hero who was able to solve these crimes, Batman. Albert was caught during one of his contracts to kill a mafia snitch who was living in the basement of an abandoned factory in London. The contract was false and the factory was a trap, Batman was waiting for him. Instead of fighting a hero, Albert tried to escape, which ended with him being knocked out and left tied upside down on a lamp post, with a note on his chest that said, "A gift to the police". Of course, the police arrived and only found the rope that tied him up. His fathers had found him and cut him loose, deciding it was time to leave the UK.

They moved to New York at first but they stayed temporarily until they found a house in Jump City that was surprisingly cheap. He stayed in New York for six years, training his skills with melee weapons and computers. He was out matched by Batman because of the gadgets he had, but he was his equal when it came to hand-to-hand combat. Albert and his family live in a small house in the suburb district of Jump City, giving themselves the fake family name "Lawrence", the same last name as Albert's real family.

It wasn't until he moved to Jump city that he seen what his kills had done to people. Some of the English and the Scottish had seen the killing that he had done as a "job being done proper". It was because he didn't arrest the villains and instead killed them that the crime in the UK had dropped down significantly. Some of the people in the UK had called him the "Dark Messiah" that they were looking for. There was even a cult started that believed the "White Masked Messiah" was the answer to their prayers. However, Albert never took them seriously and instead used them to kill targets that he had wanted dead. The fanatics had grown enough to stretch it's fanatical beliefs to the United States. There have been white mask graffiti and black cloaked masked worshipers parading around Jump City even. Albert found it all faltering.
