*Mad as seaspray, skin stretched tightly over his fleshless bones, John Dee, a.k.a. Dr. Destiny, obtained Morpheus' ruby during the Dream Lord's long captivity. Warping its essence - and the world around him - with his misdeeds, Dee paid a fearful price; the corrupted ruby robbed him of sleep, and of dreams. Demented beyond treatment, he was confined in a maximum-security cell beneath Arkham Asylum. He escaped once, briefly, and nearly succeeded in a plan to drive the world mad with nightmares. Morpheus stripped him of his power and returned him to his dank cell, granting him at last the peace of sleep. *Source: Back of card
