New York businessman Cornelius van Lunt started a lucrative career in legitimate real estate dealing, but he later branched out into various criminal endeavors. An ardent believer in astrology, van Lunt amassed a fortune under the guidance of his personal astrologer. Van Lunt invested that fortune in the formation and outfitting of a nationwide criminal network, known as the original Zodiac, including a hand-picked elite group of twelve leaders. Van Lunt and the Zodiac leaders were interested in ruling humanity, through economic and political domination, just as they believed the astrological zodiac governed humanity's fate. Van Lunt took on the role of Taurus, after his astrological sign. He was originally the only member of the Zodiac who knew the true identities of all the other leaders, and he long concealed his own identity beneath his zodiacal persona.
