It took him awhile to realize why anyone would want such an oddly specific chemical when regular, cheaper, more lethal ones worked better. He figured it out though. It was for revenge. If you really wanted to torture somebody, what's better then forcing them to be helpless in front of the greatest fears? That was why Gothams crime world were going wild over his product. It was making him a ton of money.He spun around dreamily in his chair, looking at the tubes filled with his latest pay check. The costume was growing on him too, and his recent employment at the Ace Chemical Company gave him a wonderful cover, and a steady supply of dangerious chems.  He had a feeling his employers knewsomething was up too, but his effientency there  made him impossible to let go. Life was pretty damn good.<br/><br/>It all happened in a nlink of an eye, first some shady dealings with crooks in alleys, then bigger deals with bigger names, and soon he had to hire some body guards. Then the amount of purchases rose so rapidly that he needed to hire people to deliver the goods, and people to teach lessons to those who tried to get his stuff without paying. He had a minor crime empire in just a year or so, all paid by Fear Toxin. Soon he was Scarecrow more often then he was himself. Luckily he never slept much anyways...<br/><br/>But then there had to be Batwoman. She royally screwed things up for him. People were afraid again. Nobody would admit it, ut  most of the criminal world was shaking in it's boots. If anyone was supposed to inspire fear it was him! Not that he was into the theatrics of his predecessor.... He didn't want to catch her attenton either though, him, all shifty looking with his suit that just so happened to make him look like a super-villian... He had cut dealings with a couple gangs including the comedians. Anybody who looked like they were on batwomans radar was not to be seen with fear tozin or anything else he sold. He felt this was at least going to work for a while. Why go after him when their were so many other more prominant, even nastier organizations?<br/><br/>Things were getting more complicated then that. When Batwoman showed up he was in the process of finding some major players in the crime world to help him out- and word was there were other.... costume-wearing-individuals who were also looking to make alliances. He wasn't sure if this was a good idea anymore. It could attract attention, but there might also be safety in numbers. This was the problem he'd think over as he called a goon to come in and pack up this latest shipment for delivery.
