Character » Spook appears in 70 issues.
Val Kaliban is one of the world's greatest escape-artists and has used his extraordinary abilities together with special effects to commit spectacular crimes and make people believe he is a real ghost. He was also an architectural draftsman for a legal engineering firm involved in city planning for Gotham City. Kaliban tampered with the plans for its maximum security prison, to permit the construction of a network of secret passages throughout the prison. After the prison was built, Kaliban intended to use the secret passages to release convicts for a high price. Kaliban then made certain that the Gotham maximum security prison was built the way he desired. Ten years after his supposed execution, Kaliban, in the costumed guise of The Spook, offered "escape insurance" policies to criminals for a price. Second Spook was a government operative who suffered a mental breakdown after his last mission in Bolivia and eventually went mad, believed himself to be dead. As the Spook, he murdered several corporate heads whose companies he blamed for his "death". Val Kaliban is revealed as Arkham inmate during Batman: The Last Arkham story arc.
