Yet another archer has joined The CW's Arrow. Actor
Matt Ward (TRON: Legacy, Alien vs. Predator: Requiem) has joined the show has the
deadly mercenary, Simon Lacroix, aka Komodo.
“He’s the villain-of-the-week for the second week
of the show, but you’ll see that Team Arrow’s pursuit of him is part and parcel
of a season-long storyline,” says executive producer Marc Guggenheim. “You’re going to know what happens to Komodo at the
end of the episode, but it will be a little bit tied in better with the
season-long mythology than villain-of-the-week episodes have done in the past.”
Simon Lacroix, the man who became Komodo, was born
into a poor family, but became a high-ranking member of Queen Industries; he
was even taught archery by Robert
Queen, father of Oliver
Queen. Lacroix was part of Queen's expedition to find
the legendary "Green Arrow" - a mystical arrow belonging to the head
of the Arrow Clan, said to bring its owner true enlightenment and even immortality.
However, the Outsiders - the union of the seven "weapon clans"-
appealed to Lacroix's greed and convinced him to kill Robert, leaving himself
the only contender to become the new head of the Arrow Clan. He also kidnapped Emiko, the daughter of Robert and the Japanese archer Shado, and handed Shado to Count
Vertigo of Vlatava, where she was imprisoned. Lacroix adopted
the identity of the masked archer Komodo, and continued to work with the
Outsiders through their front corporation, Stellmoor International.
