History

  To all appearances a simple stage magician, John Zatara actually had a gift for the use of true magic, and encouraged by Doctor Occult he used his magical abilities as a mystery man during the second world war period. He later met and married a woman named Sindella of the Homo Magi, and their daughter Zatanna received an inheritance of even greater power than Zatara's own.

  Zatara eventually sacrificed his life to save his daughter while they were both fighting against the terrible mystical repercussions of the great Crisis.
