| Hartley Rathaway was born into a wealthy family in Central City. It took his parents almost two years to realize that he was nearly completely deaf. Unable to accept that they could have an imperfect child his parents spent millions trying to fix his hearing. Eventually a doctor replaced his cochlea with artificial micro-robotics giving him amazing hearing. Falling in love with music Hartley tried to learn instruments but discovered he was better at listening than playing. Having studied Sonics since the age of nine he decided to use his enhanced hearing to design better instruments. After designing a flute he quickly discovered that his instruments and music allowed him to control others. Adopting the identity the Pied Piper he set out on a life of crime. | ||||
