Judge Fargo
Also known as the Father of Justice (as he was the first Chief Judge), Judge Eustace Fargo's DNA was used to clone Dredd, his clone-brother Rico & Kraken. Dredd's DNA was then used to clone Judge Rico, (ex-Cadet) Dolman and (ex-Cadet) Jessica Paris (from The Forsaken).
Judge Fargo is first shown (at a distance) in his tomb within the Grand Hall of Justice (beneath which is a secret tunnel), both in The Day the Law Died and in The Apocalypse War. We first see his face in flashback during Dredd Angel (and, presumably, this is also Dredd's face) and the fullest back story to his era is given in Origins.
