Early in the twentieth century, Martin "Mad Dog" Hawkins was a serial killer who mutilated the faces and sexual organs of his victims. He believed that he was doing this he believed that the Virgin Mary wanted him to help stop the spread of venereal diseases. He would also cut his arms with razors for no other reason than to feel the pain. Hawkins was eventually caught and sent to the Metropolis Penitentiary to await trial. There, he underwent a psychiatric assessment by Amadeus Arkham.
Mad Dog later escaped and continued his murderous ways. Added to his list of victims then were Arkham’s wife and daughter, whom Hawkins raped, killed and dismembered. He was caught again and became one of the first patients of Arkham’s new insane asylum. Again having sessions with Arkham, Mad Dog taunted the doctor by saying that his family enjoyed what he did to them before he killed them.
A year after Hawkins killed Arkham’s family, Arkham had the murderer strapped to an electroshock couch for further therapy. Instead, Mad Dog was electrocuted by the device, and his death was considered by the authorities to be an accident.
