- There are some among us who have no right to pray in our midst. We have sinners here. Look into your damned souls and you will know who you are. You will see the hell your soul has been condemned to. Your only salvation is total obsequiousness to the demands of your god, Brother Blood.
- — Brother Blood src
Sebastian was the eighth individual to assume the name of Brother Blood.
History
As demanded by seven generations of tradition, whoever holds such a title is recognized as the High Priest of the Church of Blood and an emissary to the demonic entity known as Trigon [citation needed].
Due to a seven-hundred year old curse, an individual can only achieve the title of Brother Blood through an act of patricide. There is no formal observation of ascendance, and the child of the High Priest can murder his father and assume his rank at a time of his own choosing.
His teenage son stabbed him death after his failed attempt to take over the Slab and abduct a million infants. His body was dumped into the river.

- Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985–86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.
