Sanctum, AKA Samuel Eli Etch. A former high-ranking businessman who fell into serious financial issues. His company's skyscraper was sold to a fairly new business, at which point his stress fell into crime. He took part in several bank robberies and built up money. As his reputation grew, so did the number of people willing to work with him. Over several years, his empire grew across the west coast of America and he became the big boss of countless supposedly small-time gangs, leaving no traces whatsoever of his involvement. He went by the name Sanctum, believing himself to be a god, and wherever he went to be sacred. He's the organizer behind several super villain attacks, but hasn't been linked to anything as he purged all records of his former life.
