Who is General Slaycroft?

General Timothy Slaycroft was the training officer at Fort Fritts until a routine investigation revealed that eighteen men had died under his watch over a forty year career. That led to a court martial and discharge, his otherwise exemplary record of service keeping him from serving any jail time. Wishing to save face and restore his reputation as a cunning general, Slaycroft hooked up with designer drug expert and recently fired Gotham University professor Dr. Randolph Porter . They sought to create a small army of mind-controlled super soldiers with enhanced strength and sell them to the highest bidder. Slaycroft and Porter decided that Batman would make the ultimate test subject and devised a plot that would sacrifice Porter's daughter and get Batman to willingly submit to taking the drugs that Porter had concocted. The plan worked for a time, and it looked like Batman would become their mind-numbed, drug addicted pawn. However, Batman overcame the drugs and Slaycroft and Porter fled to Santa Prisca .
