   Summary

   When Tim Drake was 17, he faked his own death.

   Three years later, a new guy has entered Gotham, with hacking skills that outmatch Oracle’s, a blade sharp enough to cut through bone, and a penchant for disappearing better than the Batman himself.
   And he’s making a mark on the villain population of Gotham.
   He leaves no evidence behind, nothing to mark himself by, only the remnants of his kill and a name: Cardinal
