Kent Nelson

Childhood: 1942-1964
Born as Kent Nelson on May 5th, 1939 to Sven and Celestine Nelson. Sven was a famous archeologist in Gotham City. Kent's father taught Kent everything about archeology, even taking him along on dig sites. This made Kent love archeology. So much so that this is what Kent chose as his major at Gotham University. Once Kent graduated, his father began taking him to dig sites for work.

Training: 1964-1967
In 1964, Kent and his dad went to the Valley of Ur in Mesopotamia to a dig site. While there, he discovered the tomb of Nabu. When he opened it, a trap was set off that enclosed them in the pyramid. But this resulted in the death of Sven. When Nabu was freed, he noticed Kent and was grateful for Kent freeing him. As a way to pay back Kent for freeing him (and for the death of his father), Nabu took on Kent as his apprentice and began to teach him magic. Around 1965, Kent was excelling in his practices when all of a sudden a man named Wotan appeared. Wotan had fatally injured Nabu and as a result, Nabu transferred his spirit to a nearby helmet called the "Helmet of Fate" and telepathically instructed Kent to put it on. When Kent put the helmet on, Nabu possessed Kent and used his magic to defeat Wotan, who retreated. For the next two years, Kent trained to master the Helmet of Fate.

Doctor Fate: 1968-1973
Once he finished his training Kent had decided to return home. When he returned home, he found out that his mother had died. His mother had died from heart attack, but the heart attack was unnatural. For the following few weeks, Kent used his powers to find out what really happened to his mother. He finally found out that a magic-wielder had used magic to cause an abnormal blood clot that resulted in a heart attack. The essence of the magic was indeed from Wotan. He tracked down Wotan and battled him. With their strength evenly matched, Nabu took over and sent Wotan away (only Nabu knows where, not even Kent). The following year, in 1969, Kent felt a disturbance and went to Washington D.C where he saw Dragon King and other heroes. Kent and these other heroes took down Dragon King and became the Justice Society of America. The following year, in 1970, Kent and the Society took down Wotan (who had mysteriously escaped), and Wizard. In 1971, Vandal Savage had threatened America so the Society took him down. A few months later, the Society battled and inducted Red Tornado. In 1972, the Society battled Brainwave and Solomon Grundy. Later that year they battled Cheetah and Icicle. In 1973, during the final battle of the Society, Nabu took over and deflected a spell from Wotan that resulted in the world forgetting of the Society. Afterwards, Nabu locked Wotan in the core of the Earth.

Kent Nelson: 1974-2008
Kent had met Inza Cramer and fell in love with her. He would later marry her. Kent also decided to study medicine and become a doctor. In 1975, Kent and Inza would have a daughter named Elizabeth. Inza knew of Kent being Doctor Fate and using his powers to fight darkness in secret. In 1986, Inza was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Kent decided to give her the Helmet of Fate as when she would use it, the cancer would stop growing until she took the helmet off. So she became the next Doctor Fate and battled darkness in secret. But in 1995, as Inza lay on her deathbed, Nabu granted her eternal, as her spirit could enter inside the helmet. As a result, Kent decided to enter the helmet himself as well. Though occasionally he would check in on his daughter.
