As I read you, Suyolak reads me, and finds the most perfect cure for what ails you and what you need is to sit down, shut up, and listen. You need a new partner. A better mentor. Because everything Batman taught you is wrong.

History
Early History
Ratpor's activities were noted by the Owls of Dubai as they were targeted by him. During his altercation with the Owls of Dubai, he nearly made off with millions of dollars but was caught by the cabal. Impressed with his skills, they enlist him within the Parliment to be set up as Nightwing's new mentor.[1]
Better than Batman
Raptor is sent by the Parliment of Owls to kill Lincoln March. When he shoots him with a poison dart after listening to the speech he gives to the Parliment, he gives him an ultimatium in which he states that Lincoln's focus on what he feels deserves gets in his and the Parliments way and that they all want a easy path to Nightwing.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name
Raptor interrupts one of the Doctor Levitcus and her associate Padurar's grave digging as they loot a box for the Parliment. Claiming to want to dig up the past, he seemingly kills the Parliment member. Later, having been assigned as Nightwing's new partner and mentor, he tracks down the vigilante and tails him. He arrives and meets Nightwing for the first time, introducing himself and reveals of him tailing Nightwing as well as claiming he possess some arrogance. When Nightwing declines his offer to be his new partner and mentor and also claimed he already had a better one, he attacks him and enters a frey with the vigilante.[1]
The fight goes in Raptor's favor as he uses the name "Barbara" to distract Nightwing and downs the vigilante, telling him he needs a new partner because everything that was taught to him by the Dark Knight himself was wrong.[1]
