He takes justice into his own hands and kills the dogs, and then sets the house on fire with Grice handcuffed to a pipe and still alive inside, leaving him with a hacksaw. He claims that this was the moment when he stopped being "Kovacs pretending to be Rorschach", and fully became Rorschach. After finding the remains of a young child's blanket in the shop, a heavily used cutting board, and noticing two guard dogs chewing on a human bone, he realized to his profound horror what had happened: the kidnapper, Grice, had murdered the girl, dismembered her body, and fed the pieces to his dogs. His investigations brought him to an abandoned dressmaker's shop. This went on until 19XX, when he investigated the kidnapping of Blair Roche, a young girl. At this point, he did not yet kill, and only beat criminals unconscious for the police to arrest. His greatest victory was taking down a large chain of gangs. Rorschach's life as a "masked adventurer" involved fighting gang warfare and masked villains such as Moloch the Mystic.
He believed the dress was originally made for Kitty Genovese. Upon reading of Kitty Genovese's murder in the newspaper, he claims he became disgusted with the amount of crime in New York City and, creating a mask from the dress, became the vigilante Rorschach. Kovacs took it home for himself, fascinated with the fabric. When the dress was completed, the customer was unsatisfied with the design, and she refused to pay for it. A few weeks before her murder in front of an apartment, a woman with an Italian name ordered a dress from him, made of a fabric created by Doctor Manhattan that used two pressure and heat-sensitive liquids suspended between two layers of latex to create black-on-white shifting color patterns, "always changing, never mixing into grey". The prospect of handling women's clothing caused him discomfort, and he later commented that the job was "bearable but unpleasant". When informed of her death at the hands of her pimp, his only response was "Good."Īfter leaving school, Kovacs took a job as an unskilled tailor. After defending himself from bullies at age 10 (biting the face of one boy and using a lit cigarette to partially blind the other), Child Services placed him in a special home. His mother despised him and told him that she wished she had aborted him. Bio:Rorschach, born Walter Joseph Kovacs, is the son of Sylvia, who worked as a prostitute.
