Major Story Arcs The Plan Cain is notoriously known as one of the worlds most dangerous and lethal assassins, it is because of this it is no surprise that such a deadly man would be a member of the League of Assassins . One of the things that had made Cain such a dangerous person was his careful planing and preparation for the future. This caused Cain to seek an apprentice to train and become his eventual successor. Cain introduced the idea to the leader of the League of Assassins who was Ra's al Ghul. Ra's agreed with Cain's plan as Ra's wanted the apprentice that Cain would train to be a body guard for him. Cain then put his plans into action training children while they were young to be deadly assassins but most of them failed and the aftermath of Cain's project was a child who was named Mad Dog for his similar attitude to the creature. Cain saw the Mad dog as a deadly assassin but with very little intelligence so decided to try again but with a different method this time.
