In the original comics, he was just a man from around centuries ago, serving a dying lord when he discovered the Lazarus Pits. He showed them to the lord and he bathed in the pit to save himself, but it made him insane, killing Ra's wife among other followers. That's when Ra's killed the lord and use the pits for his own purposes to 'save' the world by remaking it in his own image.
