Powers/Abilities: Slightly enhanced perception, agility, and durability due to a type of experimental serum given to him by the League of Assassins.
Personality: analytical, hateful, apathetic. Bloodwing does not follow the strict code that the Bat family does.
History: James always looked up to Batman as his hero. He grew up an orphan in Gotham City, following his exploits and hoping to prove himself one day. The boy learned how to fight, learned how to solve crimes, and learned how to hunt the criminals of the city. He was given his chance one day, proving himself by solving one of the Riddler's puzzles and arriving on the scene before even Batman. There, he assisted him in taking down the hired thugs that attacked them, bringing the Riddler to justice.
James became the new Robin, and held the title for about a year. He was a bit more violent than the others, reminding them of Jason, the late second Robin, at times. He proved his worth at every turn, easily beating the foes that Batman dealt with, including the Joker at times.
That was until his bout with Scarecrow. His toxin overcame James, and in his state he was forced to kill helpless thugs that Crane had captured, recording it and broadcasting the film to all of Gotham. While Batman had known it wasn't his fault, he had no choice but to have James stand down. He was infuriated. He tried for months to convince them to take him back, that people would get over it and forget. Eventually, he quit trying. He bettered himself in preparation for a call he would never get.
He received a call one day from a woman he had saved when in costume years ago. She had come into a fortune after her father 'passed' and wanted to help him. She introduced him to Lady Shiva, whom she had hired specifically to train him. He accepted happily of course, and trained with the assassin for years until he was ready.
Fitted with his new armaments funded by his new ally, and with a new name, Bloodwing descended upon the criminals of Gotham.
Now that Arkham City has opened, he sees a new opportunity to remove the big names of Gotham's underworld from history.
Fears: His identity being discovered.
Likes: Fighting, scouting, interrogation.
Dislikes: The Villains, other vigilantes.
Theme song: In the Air Tonight by Nonpoint (original by Phil Collins)
Reason for being in Arkham City: To bring fear to the criminals within, and to ensure that the big villains don't get comfortable.
Other: No one fears Batman anymore.
