Aries

PERSONAL HISTORY

Nothing is known about how Lassiter joined the Cartel or any of his dealings with their group prior to their first battle with the Marvels.

In order to take down the Zodiac Cartel Jackson Grant, disguised as Scorpio captured the Marvels. He called the Cartel for a meeting in order to present the Marvels to them. The Marvels managed to break free before the Cartel could execute them. Grant unmasked himself and joined the heroes in fighting off the Zodiac Cartel. Aries managed to claim the Zodiac Key, and led the Cartel to their escape through a hole in the wall.

Lassiter led the reorganization of the Cartel and its planning to take over Manhattan. A mercenary group in the Zodiac's employ was sent to Marvel Mansion and was able to subdue the Marvels who were subsequently put into stasis. The Aries-led Zodiac army was able to take over Manhattan. Aries used the Zodiac Key too, entrapping it within a force field. The Cartel demanded one billion dollars or they threatened to kill the entire population of Manhattan. The Tulliana and Night Daemon managed to free the Marvels, and, in the ensuing battle, Aries was apparently slain. Jupiter destroyed his vessel with a bolt of lightning. The rest of the Zodiac Cartel escaped capture.
