Arrow is an American superhero television series developed by writer/producers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and Andrew Kreisberg that is based on the DC Comics character Green Arrow.

Primarily filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, "Arrow" follows billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), who, five years after being stranded on a hostile island, returns home to fight crime and corruption as a secret vigilante whose weapon of choice is a bow and arrow.
Adrian Chase
Josh Segarra portrays an adapted depiction of Adrian Chase during season five of The CW's "Arrow". Similar to his comics counterpart, he is Star City's District Attorney, Doris Chase's husband, and Oliver Queen's ally. But rather than use the Vigilante alias, the character is instead the Earth-1 iteration of "Prometheus" who was born Simon Morrison, the illegitimate son of corrupt pharmaceutical CEO Justin Clayborne. After his father was killed by Oliver, he trained under Talia al Ghul to acquire similar combat tactics and fighting techniques. His Prometheus alias is a dark-hooded serial killer (dubbed the Throwing Star Killer by the media) who wields a sword and a bow but primarily kills using shurikens forged from Oliver's discarded arrows. Adrian embarks on a crusade to destroy Oliver's reputation as both the Green Arrow and Mayor in City Hall, deals with the other individuals (crime lord Tobias Church and the Vigilante) making attempts on Oliver, plants evidence to frame Quentin Lance for his own murders, convinces Artemis to betray Team Arrow, manipulates Green Arrow into killing police detective Billy Malone (dressed with the Prometheus costume) and leaks his cover up to the press to trigger an impeachment hearing that forces Oliver to publicly disown Green Arrow as a cop killer, forces Black Siren (Earth-2) to impersonate Laurel Lance (Earth-1) to trick Team Arrow, and tricked John Diggle into being detained by the authorities before exonerating the man. At the cost of his wife's life, Chase captures Oliver with Talia's help as their former mentor wanted revenge on Queen for killing Ra's al Ghul. Adrian proceeds to torture Oliver (physically and psychologically) to confess enjoying killing targets; Oliver's heroic identity and crusade are merely a pretext and subsequently burns off Oliver's Bratva tattoo before setting his nemesis free. Despite using a device from Kord Industries that can blur his face from surveillance cameras when unmasked, his device gets reverse-engineered by Felicity Smoak and Curtis Holt with a stolen device to decrypt his unmasking's surveillance footage, exposing him to the SCPD. Realizing this, Chase kills his two protective custody agents and escapes Star City by car whilst whistling to "A Beautiful Morning". Adrian activates an EMP in Team Arrow's headquarters, allowing him to escape. He later teams up with Derek Sampson to release his father's weaponized tuberculosis on Star City while also trying to destroy Robert Queen's legacy before he's captured by Green Arrow. While in A.R.G.U.S. custody, Chase orders his team to capture Team Arrow and forces Oliver to free him, revealing he captured William Clayton (Oliver's son). Adrian goes to Lian Yu after his team captures Team Arrow, however, Oliver later frees Team Arrow and Samantha Clayton. Incapacitated and unwilling to accept defeat with William's safety, Adrian commits suicide which triggers C4 bombs on the island which presumably kills several people. Adrian returns in season six as a hallucination from Vertigo to deceive Oliver.
