Brief Personality: Amiable, obliging, wants to do the right thing but doesn't always know what that is. Feels his life is adrift since he fell through dimensions and still trying to figure out the what and how of existence - looking for something to anchor him. Sometimes feels like everything is out of control and doesn't have his shit together as much as he's like you to believe, but he'll fake it if he has to. If he starts to feel too much of anything, tends to shut down. | |
| Brief History: Was a once Grammaton Cleric on his homeworld, Libria. After the fall of the Tetragrammaton, Lane was befriended by another version of Bruce Wayne and enlisted as The Shadow of the Bat in The Batman's quest to instill some order in their anarchal society.
After a fight against invading aliens and witnessing Bruce's death, Lane was pulled into the current dimension after detonating an experimental nuclear device to eliminate the alien invasion. Spent a fair amount of time spent in limbo on this earth (some of that recovering from wounds received in the fight with his home world's aliens), and the current version of Bruce Wayne took advantage of Lane's training and position of not existing in this dimension and convinced him to once again become the Shadow of the Bat in a somewhat downgraded role in The Batman's retinue of cohorts. Now regrets being a Cleric in certain aspects - especially all the killing. Feels somewhat ashamed about what he once was and his ability to kill without remorse. Bruce fabricated a cover story and documentation for Lane's history on Earth and started his own Technical Security Consultant firm under the umbrella of Wayne Industries. After a run-in with some especially nasty bad guys as The Shadow, Lane was pretty sure he had died at one point, but prefers not to think about it and remains in denial. There was a legend on Libria about the last living Grammaton Cleric being immortal Ð and knows that quite a few were killed before he left that world. He still believes the legend is a myth. Has learned through researching information on dimensional shifts of a new theoretical astrophysics belief that the universe creates anomalies called coalesce to right cosmic elements out of balance. Somewhat believes this may be a clue to why he was pulled into this dimension and is trying to find answers. Lane kept most of his history with the Tetragrammaton and the true nature of the former role of The Shadow to himself after learning how this Batman/Bruce combination felt about lethal violence. A combination of disillusion, grief for losing 'his' Bruce and home world, and general feeling of detachment to life is making him want to leave Gotham in search of something, anything to make his new existence worthwhile. Knows there is an organization called Torchwood that keeps track and locates any alien artifacts or visitors that may be trying to find him. Afraid of what they might do to him, but would like to know what they know about dimensional shift. |
