  • Amadeus Arkham era el único hijo de la enferma mental Elizabeth Arkham, Amadeus vio a su madre luchar contra su enfermedad durante años, lo que lo llevó a convertirse en un psiquiatra. Años más tarde, después de haber ganado una residencia en el Hospital Psiquiátrico del Estado de Metrópolis, volvió a su casa, y habiendo encontrado a su madre cada vez peor, le ayudó a suicidarse. Tras su muerte, se convirtió en el único propietario de su casa, la mansión Mercey, que decidió convertirla en un centro para enfermos mentales. Amadeus renunció a su trabajo en el MSPH y se trasladó con su esposa Constance y su hija Harriet a la mansión. Durante el proceso de remodelación, uno de los antiguos pacientes de Arkham, Martín "Mad Dog" Hawkins, escapó de la Penitenciaría de Metropolis y se coló en la vivienda de la familia de Arkham. Amadeus regresó a su casa esa noche y descubrió que su esposa y su hija habían sido violadas y asesinadas, con el apodo de Hawkins tallado en el pecho de Constance. Cuando el asilo se abrió en noviembre, Hawkins fue capturado y se convirtió en uno de sus primeros reclusos. Amadeus insistió en el tratamiento de su persona. Después de seis meses de tratamiento, Amadeus no podía ver ninguna mejora en Hawkins y lo mató con una dosis letal de terapia de electroshock. El incidente fue accidental, pero fue sólo el comienzo de la transición de Amadeus hacia la locura, y, finalmente, acabó muriendo como un preso en su propio asilo.

He gave up his practice at MSPH and moved his wife Constance and daughter Harriet into the mansion. During the remodeling process, one of Arkham's former patients, Martin "Mad Dog" Hawkins, escaped from Metropolis Penitentiary and broke into the Arkham family living quarters. Amadeus returned home that night and discovered his wife and daughter had been murdered. It was determined his daughter had been raped and decapitated. The words "Mad Dog" were carved into her chest. When the Asylum opened that November, Hawkins was captured and became one of its first inmates. Amadeus insisted on treating him personally. After six months of treatment, Amadeus could see no improvement in Hawkins and killed him with a lethal dosage of electroshock therapy. The incident was ruled accidental but was only the beginning of Amadeus' slide into insanity, and eventually, he ended up dying as an inmate in his own asylum.
