Moloch's History

A crime boss from the 1940s through the 1960s, he ran an underground vice den and constructed a solar mirror weapon as part of his nefarious schemes. Over the course of his criminal career, he clashed with Nite Owls, Ozymandias, and Doctor Manhattan. Eventually captured, he spent the 1970s in prison, where he converted to Christianity and gave up his life of crime. At some point during that time, he worked for Dimensional Developments, where he contracted cancer. Following his release, he lived alone in New York City, until his murder in 1985 as part of Ozymandias' plot when Jacobi was shot in the forehead. Rorschach found Jacobi dead with the bullet still in his forehead and was framed for Jacobi's murder.
