Biography
Original multiverse
Early life
At some point in his life, Dodgson joined the military, most likely the Navy SEALs or Green Berets. Afterwards, he was hired as an agent of Crows Security.[1]
At first, Dodgson was extremely idealistic and passionate about his role in protecting Gotham City. Over time however, he began to resent Commander Jacob Kane, considering the man too soft for the job.[2] This lead Dodgson to join the Wonderland gang, becoming the second-in-command and the lover of its leader, Alice.[1] He was eventually entrusted with Alice's true identity of Jacob's presumed dead daughter, Beth.[3]
Mole in Crows Security
Dodgson as a Crows agent.
Dodgson began acting as Alice's mole inside of Crows Security. In 2018, the Crows worked at the turning off the Bat-Signal when the Wonderland gang ambushed the event, kidnapping Sophie Moore in the process. Following this, they worked security at the city's Movie in the Park. Dodgson was assigned to watch from an undeveloped skyscraper by Robinson Park.
Dodgson leaves a truck full of explosives at Robinson Park.
Due to his position, Dodgson allowed Alice and her gang to bring Sophie in, hanging her on a plank of wood off the side of the building. He then left the group to their devices, driving a truck full of explosives to Robinson Park as a diversion before fleeing. This exposed him as a traitor.[1]
Jacob wants Alice and Dodgson, dead or alive.
Afterwards at a briefing, Dodgson became a top-priority target of the Crows alongside Alice. Jacob explained the duo want to terrorize the citizens of Gotham City by undermining the people who were protecting them (i.e. the Crows). Dodgson and Alice were to be stopped, dead or alive.[3]

After Alice and the Wonderland gang took refuge at the former Kane house, Dodgson reported that he couldn't find her knife. When he asked how Alice's sister, Kate Kane, fit into her plan, Alice stated that Dodgson was jealous and kissed him. Dodgson clarified that he wanted them to stay focused on their goal: ruin the the Crows' credibility in Gotham and let the city delve into chaos. Dodgson warned Alice not to let their mission get personal, to which Alice insisted it is personal since her own father gave up on her.

Later, Alice sent Dodgson to Mary Hamilton's clinic with the order to kill her due out of jealously due to Mary's role as Kate's "new sister". After causing a blackout, Dodgson began choking Mary but she fought back by injuring Dodgson in the leg with a scalpel, preventing him from pursuing her. As Dodgson grabbed an emergency axe to break down a closet Mary hid in, Batwoman then intervened and knocked him down.

He was then brought to Mary's clinic, where Batwoman asked her to deal with Dodgson's wound.

That evening, while Dodgson was handcuffed to the bed and drugged with morphine, he began hallucinating, calling for Alice. Mary began impersonating Alice in an attempt to extort Dodgson for information on her villainous plot. Dodgson managed to reveal that a key component was a mysterious figure named "Mouse". Later, Batwoman returned to the clinic and planted a subdermal transmitter on Dodgson in order to track him after he returned to Alice.[4]

As Sophie distracted the Wonderland gang members, Jacob managed to shoot a propane tank, making it explode and scattering the criminals in the process.

During the Anti-Monitor Crisis, Dodgson as well as everyone in the multiverse except for the seven Paragons, was killed in an antimatter wave by the Anti-Monitor on December 10, 2019,[6] only to be restored a month later, after the Paragons and the Spectre created a new universe.[7]
