'''Kai''' was the best student in the [[Armless Master]]'s dojo in [[Gotham City]]. Kai was also a thief, which brought him into conflict with a young [[Selina Kyle]], who "tainted" a religious ceremony he was performing by touching a religious artifact depicting [[Bastet|Bast]] that he had intended to steal himself. After Kai severely beat her for her intereference, Kyle followed Kai back to the secret dojo, where the Armless Master welcomed her as a student. She began studying, and quickly showed Kai up in front of his master. Kai soon learned that Selina had taken on the identity of [[Catwoman]], and, in religious zeal, took it as a sign. Adopting the identity of Hellhound he attempted to force Selina to kill him, believing this would finish the ceremony she had interrupted when they first met, and that he would be reborn as a "true hound of hell".(contracted; show full)

Anubis and Devil Dog, now calling themselves "The Dog Pound", were among the villains in the ambush of the [[Justice Society of America|JSA]] led by [[Tapeworm (comics)|Tapeworm]].

==Powers and abilities==
Hellhound was an excellent martial artist, although his skills were not equal to his lofty opinion of them. He also trained dogs to serve as his hunting pack. Much of this applies to the second Hellhound as well.
