Arthur Holmwood

Arthur Holmwood was a cult member of the Church of Blood and Lex Luthor's personal physician.

Biography[]

In 1998, Arthur worked for The Organization and was May Bennett's doctor as she gave birth to her and Trigon's son, Sebastian. However, since The Organization's prophecy relied on Trigon's daughter, Sebastian was taken away. Arthur ordered May to be restrained when she protested.^[1]

Arthur served as Lex Luthor's personal physician for an unknown number of years, and working with May in order to find a cure for Lex's terminal Kryptonite poisoning.^[2]

Disguised in a Raven mask, Arthur kidnapped and drained multiple men for their blood in order to create a pool in the Temple of Azarath so that Sebastian Sanger may come into his destiny as Brother Blood. Arthur was witnessed by Aria Murphy killing her mother and kidnapping her father, and was shown drinking the blood of some of his victims while at the slaughter house by Rachel Roth.

During a confrontation with Rachel, Arthur sets himself on fire rather than be caught.^[2]

Lex Luthor's death and those of the other LexCorp board members are pinned on him following the raid on the slaughter house, clearing Conner's name.
