litheraYou! Yes, you out there.
I need to know more about The League of Assassins. I know that they're headed (nominally) by Ra's Al Ghul and there is (was?) an offshoot that was headed by O-Sensei. I, however, don't know any more than that.
What the heck is up with these people?
And other than the League, is there a connection between Shiva and Ra's?
Thanks!

Ra's is an Arabic villain who has survived for centuries with the aid of a Lazarus Pit, whose chemicals restore him to life every time he physically "dies" after he is immersed in them. He controls the League of Assassins and is the father of Talia, whom he once attempted to marry to the Batman as a means of bringing him in as his successor. Despite his real attraction to Talia (and there is a possibility he may have fathered a child by her), Batman refused to become her husband and fought Ra's in many encounters. What will develop in the light of Batman's upcoming marriage to Catwoman has yet to be revealed. (1st app: BATMAN #232)
TALIA: Daughter of Ra's Al Ghul and one-time lover of the Batman, who may have fathered her child. How she will react to his marriage to Catwoman has yet to be revealed. (1st app: DETECTIVE COMICS #411.

The O-Sensei should not be confused with The League of Assassins leader, who was only called the Sensei.
