History
Edgar Cizko: 1969 - Present
Edgar Cizko was born in Civic City, Pennsylvania; the child of Charles and Sarah Cizko, both psychiatrist of good repute who should probably have never been parents. Though Charles was a loving father, Sarah Cizko was infamous in the family’s social circles for her clear disdain for Edgar, who was affected by dwarfism. Despite his mother’s lack of love for him, Edgar tried to please her through the study of psychiatry. One day, Edgar came home from college for Christmas break and discovered his mother in bed with their neighbor, Mrs. Meadows. This event was a traumatic discovery for both Edgar and his father, with Charles committing suicide within the year, shortly after the divorce was finalized. Edgar threw himself into his study to cope with the loss of his father, never again going home during school breaks.
The loss of his father would not be the last time death affected Edgar’s life. Edgar’s mother and her lover died while sailing their yacht shortly before Edgar’s college graduation. After the funeral, Cizko used his inheritance to move out of Civic City and put it behind him. He opened a private practice in St. Roch, Louisiana and after his considerable talent for unlocking the secrets of the mind became well-known, Amanda Waller contracted his services for the controversial Belle Reve prison as a psychiatric consultant. There he helped Waller put together the original Task Force X program, helping Waller select the right candidates. Though from what I could deduce, Edgar was not pleased to be working with a female authority figure (likely as a result of his unresolved mother issues). When the Task Force X program was shut down, Cizko relocated to Gateway City from 2007 to 2016, again working in private practice.
In 2016, with Arkham entering into a partnership with ARGUS, Waller again hired Cizko. Cizko has since moved to Gotham and has become quite a hit among Gotham’s elite at parties due to his private practice’s hypno-therapy sessions becoming quite the rage for Gotham’s old money families to work out their deep-rooted issues.[1]
