Biography[]
Criminal activities[]
Scott Morgan owned a water and electricity plant which operated in Starling and Central City. By 2012, he had increased prices by up to $15 a month, with customers in The Glades on the higher end of the scale. Many of these consumers had difficulty paying the overcharged bills, resulting in poorer service and brownouts in the area. In a press conference, Scott claimed the brownouts in The Glades were "necessary" due to increase in demand.[2][3] The plant was also illegally siphoning off of Central City's electrical grid.[1]
Visit from The Hood[]
One night in 2013, Scott ordered some "company" and waited in bed for the intended prostitute. Suddenly, The Hood broke into his home and demanded that Scott turn his company's daily wattage logs over to the energy commission and SCPD within six hours, essentially turning himself in.
However, Scott acted quickly and rushed to the plant, ordering the employees to transfer all of the company's records onto a hard drive. Scott then triggered the fail-safe explosives he previously arranged to be built into the plant's construction, intending to destroy any evidence. After Scott received the hard drive from his bodyguard, he shot the latter dead and attempted to flee, but was stopped in his tracks by The Hood. Scott's main bodyguard, a former Israeli military, or Tzahal, attacked The Hood, but was beaten. Scott watched on in horror and surrendered the hard drive to the vigilante. Right on cue, the explosives detonated and Scott managed to escape from the plant, but The Hood appeared to be killed.
The next night, Scott met with Malcolm Merlyn and Moira Queen. He told his story, only to learn from Malcolm that the hard drive was in the hands of the police, courtesy of The Hood, meaning Scott was now a liability. Malcolm's bodyguard promptly shot Scott dead as he pleaded for his life.[1]
