The Obeah Man was a mighty Haitian criminal and alleged black magician ("obeah" is a voudou word meaning, approximately, "black magic") who kidnapped the parents of Tim Drake (a.k.a. Robin III) and demanded a ransom from their company. Batman traveled to Haiti and intervened, but too late. Tim's mother was killed by the Obeah Man's poison, while his father Jack was left a cripple for years. In the ensuing battle between Batman and the Obeah Man, the latter was apparently killed, burned to death in a fire he had started himself.
