Biography

Early life

Aldus Boardman was born in 1915 to Joe and Edith Boardman, reincarnations of Prince Khufu and Priestess Chay-Ara. After hearing them speak of Vandal Savage at night, Joe and Edith decided to tell Aldus of their eternal cycle of reincarnation and their conflict with Vandal Savage.[1] When Aldus was 10 years old, Savage once again found his parents. Aldus survived the encounter because his mother hid him in a closet and ordered him to remain silent. The resulting tragedy motivated Aldus to study everything he could about Savage, leading him to become a professor.[2]

On April 8, 1975, Aldus recorded himself on a video tape in which he revealed his knowledge of Hath-Set/Vandal Savage, Khufu and Chay-Ara's origins. Aldus explained that Savage's immortality had come as a result of "unearthly calamity" and that anything related to that calamity would possibly reverse its effects. Aldus also expressed his belief that Vandal Savage was the greatest threat Earth would ever face.[3]

Death

According to history, Aldus would later die of unknown causes possibly at Savage's hands, which prompted rogue Time Master Rip Hunter to recruit a team and traveled back to October 17, 1975 to acquire information about Savage throughout history from Aldus before his death. By the time they entered his office, Boardman had dozed off and was assumed to have already died. Suddenly, Aldus woke up and was surprised to see the spitting image of his parents, their reincarnations Kendra Saunders and Carter Hall staring right at him, standing in his office. Rip then interrupted him, claiming to be a fellow historian interested in Vandal Savage.
