Who is Sir Edmund Dorrance?

Sir Edmund Dorrance, better known as King Snake, is a formidable blind martial artist and international crime lord who leads the Ghost Dragons gang. He serves as a major early nemesis for Tim Drake during Drake's first solo missions as Robin.

A shadowy menace who slithered into DC's Gotham City at the dawn of the 1990s, Sir Edmund Dorrance made his mark in Chuck Dixon and Tom Lyle's Robin #2 — a Copper/Modern Age debut that placed him squarely in the orbit of Tim Drake's early adventures as the Boy Wonder. Over roughly thirteen years he haunted the pages of Robin and Batman: Gotham Knights, keeping dangerous company alongside Batman and Bruce Wayne himself. With a catalog footprint that's deliberately lean, Sir Edmund is the kind of villain whose appearances carry weight — a figure worth tracking down for any collector who appreciates a well-crafted Gotham threat with real pedigree behind his creation.
