Two Face

Alias: Harvey Dent

Bio:
Ten years after Gotham Unified, Harvey continued his position as District Attorney and quickly became well known for serving up sentences effectively and making sure they would stay that way. At least a year before the events of the Children of Arkham's attacks, he became acquainted with billionaire Bruce Wayne and the two became friends. Dent wastes no time in bringing well known mob boss Sofia Falcone to the trial. Some tension is revealed between Dent and the assistant DA, Rachel Dawes when Dent arrives late, to which he suggests that they flip his father's lucky coin to see who presents first.

The basis of his case was made around the sworn testimony of a mafia daughter, leading Dent to accuse Sofia of seizing control of Gotham's organized crime while murdering her father, Carmine Falcone.

After the court case, Dawes makes Dent promise to play fair with Jim Gordon, the Commissioner of the GCPD. Upon meeting with Gordon, Dent confirms that because of the perjury, Sofia Falcone could not be indicted, but also notes that the mafia will constantly be giving people second chances.

Gordon at the time, was seeking five search warrants for an equal number of banks, as these were suspected of being holding reserves of the mob's life savings. Although as interested in shutting down the mob's funds as Gordon is, Dent is curious as to Gordon's involvement with the vigilante known as Batman, as the police made use of lightly irradiated bills in order to track down which banks the mob uses. The conversations also reveals a thorn of distrust between the two men, as much of Dent's experience and first-hand attempts to stop corruption within Gotham began with his time in Internal Affairs, investigating officers Gordon would later work with. Dent knows first-hand that there are men within Gordon's unit who cannot be trusted, and the difference makes a rift between the two. It was here that Dent alludes he knew the nickname he had been called behind his back, but agrees to get the warrants for Gordon.

While at an impressive dinner with Dawes, Bruce Wayne happens to arrive at the same time with well known ballerina, Natasha. Under Bruce's urgings, the couples break bread, giving Wayne an opportunity to get to know Dent. It was during this time that Dent not only defends Batman, but also idolizes him. He admits that he perceives him as a necessity, needed during these dark times. He believes that Batman isn't looking to fight crime for the rest of his life and is searching for a successor. This earns the admiration of Wayne, who offers to throw Dent a fundraiser, promising him that he would never desire campaign donations ever again.

Before the mayor, Dent is called to explain this extremely difficult conspiracy case. Rather than say that this is a deep stab at justice, Dent suggests instead that this be viewed as a tremendous break from crime for Gotham. Even though the head mafia leaders would post bail, the middlemen would not. 18 months would go by between appeals, giving the mayor enough time to clean up and make considerable improvements to Gotham City. The mayor agrees to this, but gives Dent a powerful warning that the mob aren't his only enemies, that anyone within Gotham who took pay from them would turn against the District Attorney. The meeting is interrupted as a dead Batman copycat slams into the window.

Later that night, Dent arrives at Bruce Wayne's fundraiser with Rachel Dawes, scared at the prospects of meeting Gotham's upper class. After a humorous and short meeting with Alfred, Dent is greeted by Wayne openly, receiving an embarrassing welcome as Wayne gives his support for Dent and encouraging a round of applause from all of the guests.

A few moments later, Dent interrupts the conversation between Dawes and Wayne to speak to his girlfriend. Quietly, Dent builds the conversation to ask Dawes how she would feel about marriage. At first, Dawes is somewhat reluctant to discuss it, but before Dent could further the conversation, Wayne grabs him from behind, incapacitates him, and locks him in a closet to protect him as the Roman Sionis (The Black Mask) storms the party.

During the mayhem that ensued during The Black Mask attack, Detective Flass was killed after ingesting an acid thought to be his preferred alcoholic beverage. Soon after, a memorial service is held in his honor. During which, the Black Mask and his goons, dressed as the firing squad, turn their guns upon the mayor and fail to kill him, striking down Gordon. While the faux firing squad attempted to escape, one of these men was captured. After escorting Dawes to safety, Dent gets into an ambulance with the suspect and seeks to question him, before realizing that his name tag lists the Black Mask's next intended target: Rachel Dawes.

Frustrated, Dent climbs into the cab of the ambulance and drives off to an undisclosed location. After a phone call warning Rachel to get to safety, away from the MCU, he then goes on to interrogate the captured thug. Using a handgun and the flip of his coin, Dent threatens to kill the man unless he tells him everything he knows about the Black Mask. After the second toss, the coin is caught by Batman, who had just returned from interrogating Luigi Maroni. Batman explains that the henchman's name is Thomas Schiff, a paranoid schizophrenic who could not tell Dent what he desired. Batman then goes on to explain that if anyone saw what Dent was doing, the prosecution against the mafia would be destroyed, and the only way to stop the Joker is for Batman to turn himself in. As Batman turns to leave, Dent screams his disapproval.

The next day, Dent goes before a crowd of police, media and observers to explain that Batman has offered to turn himself in and give into the Black Mask's demands. But before accepting this, he makes a desperate plea to the people not to give into the whims of a terrorist. Despite his assertions, the people demand that the Batman surrender. Before Bruce Wayne could step forward to confess his identity, Harvey demands that the police arrest him as Batman.

In lock up, Dent is cheered for by the GCPD as he marches towards the escort van to take him to the county. Despite Rachel's pleas, Dent explains that in doing this, Batman will have a chance to capture the Black Mask (Roman Sionis), and promises Rachel that he will go through with this with a flip of his coin, leaving it with her.

While locked within the van, Dent is unable to affect the battle that ensues mid-transit. It's only after Gordon reveals himself as alive and well, and that the Black Mask has been captured, that Dent is set free. Immediately, Dent goes on television to explain his gamble to capture the Black Mask, until at last he is escorted back to a car to be driven home. Unfortunately, the car is driven by Michael Wuertz, a corrupt cop on the payroll of Maroni.

After being captured by Wuertz, Dent awakens in a warehouse stacked with drums of fuel. On the opposite end of a rigged landline phone, Rachel Dawes screams, having also been captured by Maroni's men. Dent reassures Rachel as he begins to struggle while tied to his chair. Rachel explains that the timer set before them is set to detonate by the warehouse Dent was in as well as her own whereabouts, and that she was told it was their friends who would have to choose which one of the two would survive. Unfortunately, Dent's efforts to free himself not only throw him to the floor but also knock one of the barrels of gasoline to the ground with him.

While Dent struggles to stand, Rachel confesses to loving Dent and agrees to his earlier marriage proposal. It was immediately after this that Batman finally bursts in, having been tricked by Black Mask. Harvey breaks down in anguish, sobbing and screaming for Rachel, knowing that if he is saved, Rachel will die. With no time left, Batman immediately dashed forward and dragged the struggling Dent away. The two make it clear of the building just as the timer reaches zero and the building explodes. The blast knocked Harvey unconscious for a time being, Dent was sent to the hospital to recover from his injuries but left devastated after Rachel's death. During it, he begins to hear a voice speak his worst impulses.

Fuel with hatred and desire for justice against Roman Sionis for murdering Rachel, and Batman for saving him instead of Rachel. He promised to rid Gotham of Batman and any other costumed vigilante, setting up a Special Crimes Unit aimed at ridding Gotham of all costumed vigilantes and villains alike. He was dragged into a scheme by Anarky and, despite being saved by Batman, continued his vendetta. Dent, Chief Roja and the newly created Special Crimes Unit are not only unable to capture Batman or his allies but end up needing to be rescued by them from an army of armored thugs in the employ of Sapphire Stagg. The embarrassment of this drives him to take up a partnership with Anarky and Lady Arkham against Batman.

As a result of Aubrey James finally stepping down as Mayor, Dent doggedly pursues a campaign to be elected as Gotham's new Mayor, seeking funding from Bruce Wayne. Wayne supplies Dent with the funds in order to keep an eye on his unknowing enemy. At the same time, Dent and Chief Roja hires the mercenary named Deathstroke to get rid of Batman, not knowing that Deathstroke has been masquerading as Dane Lisslow, the leader of his Special Crimes Unit. Despite his attempts to arrest Batman, Dent is out-maneuvered by Batman at every turn, causing public opinion to turn against him and the taxpayer-funded SCU.

On the day of his election speech, Bruce was apparently murdered by the imposter who masqueraded as Batman knowns as Bad Batman, and forced Dent into a war against Roman Sionis by hunting both Black Mask and Batman for Murdering Rachel Dawes and Bruce Wayne. But what he didn't realize was that the imposter is actually Dan Winslow who was following an order by Nyssa Al Ghul, Anarky and Lady Arkham. They've sent Deathstroke to keep an eye on Winslow to frame Batman and pinned on Roman Sionis as an accomplice for the Death of Rachel and Bruce.

Before Dent can finally arrest Batman and demand the whereabouts on Winslow, Black Mask grabs a small bottle of acid and splash it on his face while detonating the explosive, severely injuring half of his body and leaving him disfigured and badly burned due to a plot orchestrated by Deathstroke to destroy Batman and get to his former mentor, Alfred Pennyworth. Whilst recovering in hospital, Sionis men tried to take him out and prepare an assassination, though Dent escapes and kills the group. Wandering into the Gotham Sewers, Dent blames Batman for all his failures and resolves to get revenge. So Harvey breaks his partnership with Anarky and abandons his campaign for Mayor, showing the increased signs of the split personality that would eventually be adopted as Two-Face.
