It was supposed to be a normal patrol night in Bludhaven for Dick. Since becoming a father, he had been spending less time patrolling, he needed to be there for his child after all. Therefore he didn’t mind hiring a babysitter though he had to be cautious about it due to his identity as Nightwing, he gave excuses to the hire that it was because of his job as a police officer and luckily the babysitter bought the excuses and agreed to babysit Dominic.

Just as he returned home, changed out of his Nightwing suit and into his uniform, he found the apartment in disarray, furniture overturned and signs of struggle everywhere. He had no sign of either the babysitter or Dominic his Pup Baby Boy. Only a note with one simple word. ‘Checkmate’ Only one person would be low enough to do this. Slade Wilson.

With no trace of Slade, he scoured the city for any clue of his missing child, but found none. Little did he know, across the city, Slade had already managed to escape and decided to raised Dominic as their own.

As the years pass, Dominic under Deathstroke's guidance becomes a formidable warrior, known only as ‘Wraith’. Adopting a hardened persona, they have carried out missions with a cold indifference, driven solely by the ruthless training instilled in them by their adoptive father Slade Wilson. Their past identity and parentage, like a ghost, remains buried deep within their psyche, hidden beneath the layers of tough exterior and brutal upbringing.
