He graduated with a degree in psychiatry and did his residency at Arkham Asylum, where he became convinced that Gotham's citizens were brainwashed and his patients were the only true and free ones. He cleared Cody Kline for release despite the fact that he was suffering from paranoid delusions. Dante recommended further counselling and used the sessions to brainwash Kline. Dante later resigned from Arkham and established a private practice as an art therapist. He also secretly became the supervillain Spellbinder, using his psychiatric skills to hypnotise residents of The Hill in the hopes of sparking a revolution.

->''"Its true. You really do remember everything. I thought a lot about all the valuables you'd have locked up in that memory bank of yours. And you know me and banks...I just have to make a withdrawal."''
Vinton Burwell developed a bank heist scenario. Though the specifics aren't known, it involved passing himself for a plumber and left little evidence. He was thus able to repeat his trick over the years. However, one of his early robberies was witnessed by a young Barbara Gordon. Years later, this allowed Batgirl to deduce the truth about a recent heist in Gotham and arrest Burwell. When the flabbergasted Burwell asked how she knew, Batgirl boasted that she remembered everything. While locked up, he realised that if Batgirl remembered everything, then reading her mind would yield incredible treasures and secrets. He contacted an unscrupulous engineer, whom he paid using hidden stashes from previous heists. Using his new memeory altering technology, Burwell became the Fugue, and implanted Barbara Gordon with a memory of him being "Greg", her best bud back in middle-school.
