Bane

Bane: 1982 - 2006
Before the man known as Bane was born, his mother was sent to prison to serve the life sentence of his father who had fled the country of Santa Prisca following a failed revolution in the island nation. Bane’s mother gave birth to her son inside the walls of the infamous Peña Duro prison, where she was forbidden from naming her son (for ease of writing, I will refer to him as “Bane”). Bane’s childhood and early adult life were spent inside the prison. His mother would remain incarcerated with him until her death when Bane was only six years old, bet to death by corrupt prison guards while protecting her son from a disciplinary beating. His mother’s “Funeral”, consisted of her lifeless corpse being callously thrown by prison guards from the cliffs of Punto de Tiburon into the shark-infested waters as Bane was forced to watch. Yeah… messed up, huh? It was this moment that Bane became determined to leave Peña Duro.

Though imprisoned inside what is arguably the world’s harshest prison, Bane’s natural intelligence and athletic abilities allowed him to develop extraordinary skills within the prison’s walls. He read as many books as he could get his hands on, built up his body in the prison’s gym, and learned to fight in the merciless school of prison life. Despite the circumstances, Bane found mentors in various sorts during his incarceration, ranging from hardened convicts to an elderly Jesuist priest, under whose tutelage he received proper education.

In 2001, when Bane had finally grown into a large and muscular young man, the League of Assassins sent their nefarious scientist El Penitente to Peña Duro to find subjects for a vital experiment. Bane was one of the prisoners selected due to his strength and resilience. Using the League to extract Bane and fellow prisoner Larissa Diaz from Peña Duro, El Penitente arranged to have his new subjects brought to a League of Assassins’s camp for indoctrination and training into the League of Assassins, alongside Jean-Paul Valley and Eduardo Flamingo. It was here that Bane was given his first name: “Abaddon” and was also given his first taste of the special steroid El Penitente had created from Lazarus Pit chemicals: "Venom”.
