History

Early Life

Lt. Rafael Scarfe was Misty Knight's ex-partner. Scarfe was a highly competent member of the N.Y.P.D.

Heroes for Hire

He assisted Power Man and Iron Fist on numerous occasions. Scarfe often recommended caution to impulsive heroes like Luke Cage.

When Iron Fist was framed for the supposed murder of Bill Hao by the crime lord Chaka Khan, Scarfe decided to keep the fact that Hao was still alive a secret in order to use Iron Fist as a bait to drive Chaka into the open. He figured it was better to risk a super hero's life than a policeman's.

Scarfe's duties also put him into proximity and action with Daredevil, Namor, and Spider-Man.

Scarfe helped save Misty Knight's life when an explosion destroyed her arm. As a result, the two are especially close.

Shadowland

Scarfe eventually went rogue. He and his fellow police officers murdered Mikey Fortunado and framed Daredevil and the Hand for the crime and later killed Mikey's brother Bobby.
