Sometime in the late 14th century, a mystic discovered pools filled with an alchemical mix of acids and poisons excavated above the electromagnetic leylines crisscrossing the Earth. After learning this pool could restore an old man back to a young, healthy adult, the mystic took the name Ra's Al Ghul and lived for many centuries. He discovered more of these pools and called them Lazarus Pits, after a person from the Bible who Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead because of the Pit's rumored ability to do the same. He then constructed at least one estate directly over a Pit.
However, with every gift, there is a drawback. The stress of physical rejuvenation from the Lazarus Pit causes temporary insanity. The amount of time spent in the Pit determines how much youth is restored. It is moot but the six centuries of immersing in the Pit may have influenced Ra's Al Ghul's twisted worldview. As penance for the death of Jason Todd, Ra's Al Ghul had Todd's body stolen in Bosnia and immersed in a Lazarus Pit. It worked but Todd came back damaged. In a deranged state of mind, he fled the Pit and was never seen for years.
