The Black Star was a master criminal who took great care to never be identifiable always wore a mask so nobody knew what he looked like rarely spoke to keep his voice from being recognized and the only mark left at the scenes of the crimes which he and his gang committed were small black stars which were tacked as a sign of their presence and an occasional sarcastic note to signify his presence and responsibility. Even those who worked for him knew nothing of him all of which were making his crimes virtually unsolvable.
