In the sequel arc, "My Enemy's Enemy", it is revealed that "Blood Rose" is simply Richard Fisk under a new moniker, and that the "Richard" he shot before was actually his former friend Alfredo Morelli, who has undergone plastic surgery to look like him.

A unnamed American soldier was somehow empowered by a mystical samurai spirit by the Keepers of the Koan after his body died in a Japanese labour camp during WWII which gave him superhuman and magical skills. Even the soldier's aging process was slowed because of this event. After World War II was over, the Samurai grew angry at the way America was evolving. He became a vigilante, attacking and killing criminals: even breaking into a prison and relasing all the prisoners so he could murder them.

* KarmaHoudini: Slaughter is perhaps the most infamous user of his trope in Daredevil comics (second only to Mister Fear III). He is perhaps the only Daredevil villain who escaped punishment at every turn. He never even got beaten up by DD on account of his health. The worst he ever suffered was having the illegal part of his organization getting shut down by the government latter in his career. Even then, he avoided jail and was still able to run the legal branch as he was deemed useful by that same government.
** This is averted in the ending of the miniseries '' The Man Without Fear'' where it' s implied he was arrested like the other lieutenants of the Kingpin.

* NervesOfSteel: Slaughter remains cool, even under pressure. This is best examplified in issue 181 (the one where Elektra was first killed). Bullseye has just escaped prison and is looking for Elektra, he shows up at Slaughter's headquarters, kills all of his men and hold him at knifepoint. Without looking so much as worried, Slaughter simply gives him the information he was looking for about Elektra and even offers him a cigar, all in the tone of casual conversation. This takes place AFTER Slaughter turned on Bullseye and let him at the mercy of Daredevil.
