The Many Lives of Hawkman

Carter Hall's original incarnation was Ktar Deathbringer, general of the Deathbringers of Qgga, a group of winged aliens who slaughtered millions across the universe in the distant past. The Deathbringers worshipped a being known as the Lord Beyond the Void, who came from a rift between space. As Ktar murdered more and more victims, his guilt and self-loathing grew, and he began to have visions of an angelic woman. On Qgga, while preparing for a final sacrifice that would allow the Lord Beyond the Void to enter the universe, Ktar was again visited by the woman, an angelic herald named Shrra, and decided to turn on the Deathbringers, destroying Qgga and sending his army into the void. The Deathbringers' second in command, Idamm, killed Ktar in the process. Upon his death, Ktar faced God and was offered the chance to atone for his sins by endlessly reincarnating across space and time, only being allowed to finally pass on when he had saved as many lives as he had taken. He was also ordered to prepare for the return of the Deathbringers, who had survived under the leadership of Idamm.

Carter Hall worked as an archaeologist who was trying to discover the mystery behind Nth Metal. In this incarnation, he was trying to understand why he is stuck in this loop of reincarnation. Carter was shown to suffer from nightmares of an alternate Earth, later revealed to be part of the Dark Multiverse, where all he saw was a giant statue of a man in bat armor.

Carter was a member of the Justice Society, alongside his perpetual paramour, Shiera Sanders.

Carter's research into both archaeology and the properties of Nth Metal led him to lead an expedition into the Dark Multiverse. Before doing so, he discovered that it had been prophesied that the Son of the House of Wayne would be the one to unleash the Great Dragon Barbatos upon their world.
