"One bullet left! Shoot me and take your revenge! Or you can shoot yourself. It's your choice!"
—Count Vertigo

"Count Vertigo" is the dealer of a drug called Vertigo. He received his nickname because his first customers, or "victims", were left with a mark by the injection of the drug on their neck, shaped like a vampire's bite. After he was injected by his own drug Vertigo, by The Arrow, he became a shell of his former self.

Biography

Season 1

In "Vertigo", after Arrow found out that his sister had been dealt Vertigo, he headed out for revenge. Count Vertigo sent his men out to slow down the vigilante. However, in the end, Arrow gave Vertigo a taste of his own medicine and injected him with considerable amounts of his own drug, an amount doctors have never seen anyone live through before. He was strapped to a gurney and wheeled off into a hospital, declared insane.

In "Unfinished Business", it was revealed that Dr. Webb, who was in charge of him, began selling Vertigo on the street and framing Count Vertigo for it, faking his escape.

In "State v. Queen", he returned under his new name, "Count Vertigo"
