The character first appeared in the form of a cameo in The Art of Revolt #1 in May of 2014 and was created by Alice V. Falto.

The first character that Hernandez tackled was Oscar Baldini. Baldini is an Italian-American, master swordsman. He is the tactical leader of a Roman Catholic sponsored team called The Neo Templars.
