LoginWilloughby Kipling
Willoughby Kipling is a member of the mystic Knights Templar and occasional ally of the Doom Patrol.
Kipling is a powerful magician and misanthrope who enters the stage only when needed, manipulating people for the greater good. Constantly drinking, smoking, and cursing, he is regarded a disgrace by his fellow Knights. Nevertheless, Kipling has helped the Doom Patrol save the world from the Cult of the Unwritten Book and the Candlemaker.
The character Willoughby Kipling was created because DC editorial would not allow Grant Morrison to use John Constantine in their run on Doom Patrol (Volume 2) for fear of spoiling the realism of the character. Rather than being based on Sting's appearance like Constantine was, Kipling is meant to look like Richard E. Grant's character Withnail in Withnail and I. Later, Phil Foglio was forced to create Ambrose Bierce when he was refused the use of both John Constantine and Willoughby Kipling.
