A sinister and secretive group led by the brilliant but unhinged scientist Hugo Strange. Collaborating with the monstrous Man-Bat, Kirk Langstrom, and protected by the undead behemoth Solomon Grundy, they operate from the dark confines of Arkham Island with the audacious goal of unlocking the secrets of immortality through psychological and genetic mutation.

The history of the Arkham Conclave can be traced back to the twisted mind of Hugo Strange. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and power, Strange sought to unravel the mysteries of life and death, delving into forbidden scientific experiments to achieve his ambitions. In his research, he stumbled upon the enigmatic secrets of the Lazarus Pit, a legendary and mythical source of immortality.

Recognizing the potential of their respective expertise, Strange reached out to Man-Bat, Kirk Langstrom, an accomplished geneticist with a personal fascination with the possibilities of transhumanism. Langstrom's desire to transcend human limitations and unlock hidden potentials perfectly aligned with Strange's quest for immortality, making him an invaluable asset.

To further expand their capabilities and achieve their goals, the Arkham Conclave sought the formidable might of Solomon Grundy, the undead monstrosity with regenerative abilities. Grundy's resilience and near-immortality made him the living embodiment of their research, and he became the physical force needed to ensure their experiments' success.

The Arkham Conclave's primary agenda centers around the pursuit of immortality. They engage in psychological manipulation, conducting inhumane experiments on Arkham inmates and victims. Through their research, they aim to achieve immortality for themselves and their chosen followers, believing that their transcendence will bring about a new era of power and control over Gotham and beyond.

The methods employed by the Arkham Conclave are ethically reprehensible and morally bankrupt. They use the helpless inmates of Arkham Asylum as unwitting subjects in their experiments, subjecting them to torturous and often deadly procedures in the name of science. The Conclave also seeks to harness the dark powers of the Lazarus Pit, knowing full well its unpredictable and corrupting nature.

Operating from the secluded Arkham Island, the Arkham Conclave remains hidden from the prying eyes of the world. They conduct their research in the shadows, exploiting the island's remote location to maintain their secrecy. The Conclave utilizes the extensive resources and facilities of Arkham Asylum to carry out their twisted experiments, evading detection by manipulating the staff and security.

A ruthless and calculating group led by the cunning Black Mask, Roman Sionis. Operating out of the poverty-stricken Narrows district, their primary goal is to exploit the despair and suffering of the neighborhood's inhabitants to elevate Black Mask back to the top of Gotham's criminal hierarchy.

The members of the Black Glove came together through pure desperation. Black Mask, after suffering numerous setbacks and challenges to his criminal empire, found few willing to work with him. Instead, he turned to the castaways and delinquents.

One of the first recruited by Black Mask was Firefly, Garfield Lynns, an arsonist with a penchant for chaos and destruction. Firefly saw an opportunity to sow fear and chaos in the Narrows and his destructive tendencies aligned with Black Mask's agenda.

Ratcatcher, Otis Flannegan, was also drawn to the Black Glove due to his intimate knowledge of the Narrows' sewers and underground passages. With his ability to control and command an army of rats, Ratcatcher could provide them with the means to infiltrate and manipulate the impoverished district.

The Black Glove's agenda centers around perpetuating the cycle of despair in the Narrows. They manipulate the poverty-stricken inhabitants, extort them for money and resources, and exploit their vulnerabilities for their own gain. Black Mask seeks to control the flow of illegal goods and services in the district, ensuring that he holds the Narrows' inhabitants under his iron grip.

To achieve their goals, the Black Glove employs brutal tactics and psychological manipulation. They instigate turf wars among rival gangs, exacerbate existing conflicts, and use fear and intimidation to keep the residents of the Narrows in a constant state of desperation and dependency.

Firefly uses his fiery weapons to strike fear into the hearts of the Narrows' population, while Ratcatcher employs his army of rats to create chaos and spread disease, further contributing to the district's despair.

Black Mask is the mastermind behind it all, orchestrating their operations with cunning and precision. He uses his remaining wealth and influence to control key figures in the Narrows, ensuring that anyone who dares to oppose the Black Glove meets a swift and brutal end.

Operating out of the Narrows, the Black Glove takes advantage of the district's isolation and lawlessness to operate with impunity. They exploit the lack of law enforcement and the indifference of Gotham's authorities to further their nefarious schemes, ensuring that the Narrows remain a breeding ground for misery.

The malevolent and radical faction known as Chaos Society is led by the enigmatic Anarky, Lonnie Machin, and operates from the shadows of Granton. Together with the deranged minds of Professor Pyg, Lazlo Valentin, and Dollmaker, Barton Mathis, their ultimate goal is to expose the hypocrisies of Gotham's social and political systems by causing widespread disruption and challenging the established power structures.

The origins of Chaos Society can be traced back to Anarky's deep-rooted belief that Gotham's society is built on a foundation of corruption, inequality, and injustice. Driven by a desire to bring down those in power and unveil the truth behind their agendas, he sought allies who shared his radical ideology.

Professor Pyg and Dollmaker, both known for their grotesque and sadistic methods, were drawn to Anarky's vision of exposing the flaws in Gotham's institutions. Each member of Chaos Society brings unique and unsettling expertise to the group, contributing to their shared agenda.

Their primary motivation is to dismantle the illusion of order and morality that masks the city's true face of corruption. They aim to disrupt existing power structures and reveal the hypocrisies of those in positions of authority, whether it be politicians, businessmen, or social elites.

Chaos Society employs various methods to achieve its goals. Anarky is the master strategist, orchestrating calculated strikes and carefully planned acts of civil disobedience. He uses propaganda and media manipulation to sway public opinion.

Professor Pyg and Dollmaker contribute their sinister talents to the group's endeavors. Professor Pyg employs mind-altering drugs and grotesque surgical procedures to create living examples of the corruption he believes plagues Gotham's society. Dollmaker's twisted abilities with body modification and organ harvesting add a chilling and horrific dimension to Chaos Society's operations.

Operating from the working-class neighborhood of Granton, Chaos Society exploits the city's darkest corners to sow chaos and upheaval. They target corrupt individuals and institutions, causing havoc and fear to shake the foundations of Gotham's perceived stability.

Their actions are designed to challenge the status quo and inspire citizens to question the established order. Chaos Society aims to awaken the people of Gotham, urging them to rise against the oppressive systems that have kept them in chains.

While their methods may be ruthless and extreme, Chaos Society views themselves as agents of truth and justice, willing to do whatever it takes to expose the hypocrisy that festers within Gotham's heart. Their agenda is not driven by personal gain but by a radical commitment to unveiling the city's true nature.

The insidious and secretive faction known as Clay Enigma is under the cunning leadership of Clayface VII, Ethan Bennett, and operates from the shadows of Newtown. Its primary objective is to manipulate, deceive, and gather sensitive information from various factions across Gotham for a mysterious and undisclosed purpose.

Their motivation remains shrouded in mystery, known only to the innermost circle of Clay Enigma. Their enigmatic leader, Clayface, employs his shape-shifting abilities to take on different identities, allowing him to move freely among the city's elite undetected.

Clay Enigma's agenda revolves around acquiring valuable information and gaining leverage over Gotham's powerful figures. Through manipulation, they create alliances and rivalries within factions, furthering their web of control and ensuring their anonymity. They specialize in playing both sides, pulling strings from the shadows, and using that chaos to further their ends.

Their methods include spreading disinformation, fabricating scandals, and manipulating key events to serve their hidden agenda. Clay Enigma is adept at exploiting the weaknesses and fears of their enemies, using psychological warfare to sow confusion.

Operating from the recently gentrified district of Newtown, Clay Enigma maintains a network of hidden lairs and concealed bases, evading detection and eliminating potential threats. They thrive in the dark corners of Gotham, relying on their anonymity and cunning to remain one step ahead of their adversaries.

Clay Enigma's elusive nature and unknown motives make them a mysterious and unpredictable adversary. With their eyes on every faction and their webs of manipulation stretching far and wide, they represent a hidden threat that poses a serious challenge to the peace and stability of Gotham. As the city's factions play their deadly game, the true masterminds behind the Clay Enigma continue to remain… an enigma.

Leader

Clayface (Ethan Bennett)

A formidable and monstrous group, led by Cassius Payne, Preston Payne, and Sondra Fuller, all sharing the name and powers of Clayface. Operating out of the infamous Crime Alley, their sinister goal is to unleash their monstrous power, spread fear, and cause chaos without restraint, seeking to drown Gotham in terror.

The members of the Clayborn Collective came together through a twist of fate. Basil Karlo, the original Clayface, sought to increase his influence by recruiting others with similar abilities. He found kindred spirits in Preston Payne, driven mad by his transformation, and Sondra Fuller, seeking retribution for her own past. Together, they formed the Clayborn Collective, bonded by their shared pain. Basil didn’t predict Preston and Sondra falling madly in love. Then, even more unlikely, the two had a child, Cassius Payne.

The birth of their child drove a wedge between the three Clayfaces and eventually Basil fled the increasingly violent clay couple. Their rage and madness only increased as Cassius grew older, the couple bowing to their unhinged child’s every desire.

Now, their agenda revolves around embracing their monstrous abilities to sow fear and destruction. Unlike other villainous factions that operate in secrecy or use manipulation, the Clayborn Collective takes a more direct and brutal approach. They revel in the chaos they create, causing massive collateral damage, and terrorizing the innocent without hesitation.

The Clayborn Collective's motivation is deeply rooted in their own pain and suffering. Their monstrous appearances and abilities have isolated them from society, leaving them feeling like outcasts and seeking revenge against a world that rejected them. They channel their anger and anguish into acts of violence and destruction, leaving Gotham City in a constant state of fear and unrest.

Their methods are straightforward and brutal. The Clayborn Collective uses their shape-shifting powers to create terrifying and grotesque forms, instilling horror in anyone who crosses their path. They target populated areas, inflicting maximum terror on civilians, and challenging even the bravest heroes to confront their darkest fears.

Operating out of Crime Alley, the collective takes advantage of the area's reputation for violence and despair. They exploit the darkness and hopelessness to stage their attacks, amplifying the fear they spread among the residents.

The Court of Owls is a secretive and malevolent group led by the enigmatic Lincoln March, known as Owlman. Operating from the shadows within the grand halls of the City Hall district, they are determined to reclaim control over Gotham City by manipulating corrupt authority figures, instilling fear, and assassinations. 

The Court of Owls has a long and mysterious history in Gotham City. It is believed that they have existed for centuries, pulling the strings behind the city's most influential individuals and manipulating their fate. Initially, they were an organization of wealthy and powerful elites, hidden behind an ancient symbol of the owl, representing their wisdom and dominance. But as the city grew and evolved, the Court found itself losing its grip on power and fading into history.

Lincoln March, a cunning and resourceful figure, rose to prominence within the Court of Owls, seeking to restore its former glory. With a deep desire to reclaim control over Gotham, he assembled a formidable team of loyalists, each with unique skills and talents. The Court's ranks grew to include the lethal and relentless Talon, an assassin resurrected and bound to the Court's service, the silent and deadly Strix, a former Talon who once turned against the Court, and the cunning and manipulative Dealer, an expert in espionage and information gathering.

The Court's agenda revolves around regaining its control over Gotham City through calculated and insidious means. They utilize their vast wealth and influence to infiltrate and manipulate corrupt authority figures, ensuring that their interests are protected and advanced. They instill fear and uncertainty among the city's citizens, making them susceptible to their influence and control.

The Court's methods are covert and ruthless, employing assassinations and covert operations to eliminate potential threats to their control. Talon serves as their deadly enforcer, carrying out their most dangerous and brutal assignments. Strix uses her unique skills and agility to gather intelligence and carry out stealthy assassinations. The Dealer, with his vast network of spies and informants, ensures that the Court remains informed about all the inner workings of Gotham City.

The Court of Owls operates from the shadows, leaving no trace of their involvement, making it difficult for heroes and law enforcement to uncover their schemes. Their ultimate goal is to regain their dominance over Gotham City, returning it to an era of darkness and control under their iron grip. The Court's reign of terror is a dark and ominous threat to the safety and stability of the city, and it will require the combined efforts of Gotham's heroes to thwart their malevolent plans and bring them to justice.

A unique and controversial group led by the brilliant but morally complex Victor Fries, aka Mr. Freeze. Working alongside the ice-wielding Captain Cold, Leonard Snart, and the skilled marksman Red Arrow, Roy Harper, they operate out of the fortified facility inside the Diamond district. Their goal is to run a cryo-prison that offers an alternative form of punishment and rehabilitation though their methods often raise ethical questions.

The members of CryoTech Operations were brought together by a shared belief in the need for an innovative approach to criminal justice in Gotham City. Mr. Freeze, driven by a desire to save his terminally ill wife, was seeking redemption and a chance to use his scientific knowledge for good. He reached out to Captain Cold, who had grown weary of his life of crime and was intrigued by the idea of a new path. Roy Harper, seeking to move beyond his troubled past, saw an opportunity to make a meaningful impact by helping criminals change their ways.

CryoTech Operations' agenda centers around the operation of their cryo-prison facility. They advocate for a system that aims to rehabilitate offenders by cryogenically freezing them for a set period, giving them time to reflect on their actions and the opportunity to change. While their methods may be seen as controversial and raising ethical concerns, they believe that they offer an alternative to the traditional system of incarceration, allowing for a second chance at redemption.

The cryo-prison is designed to provide a highly secure environment, preventing escape and minimizing the risk to society while the inmates undergo rehabilitation. The frozen inmates are exposed to therapeutic sessions and counseling while in their suspended state, allowing them to confront their past actions and work towards personal growth. CryoTech Operations' vision is that, upon release, these individuals will reintegrate into society as reformed citizens, contributing positively to their communities.

However, CryoTech Operations' methods and practices are subject to scrutiny and opposition. Many question the ethical implications of cryogenic imprisonment and argue that it is merely a way to evade conventional punishment. The group faces challenges from both the criminal underworld and the more traditional elements of Gotham's justice system. 

As CryoTech Operations continues to operate on the fringes of Gotham's justice system, they remain steadfast in their belief that their cryo-prison offers a new chance at rehabilitation and a path to redemption. They strive to walk the fine line between ethically questionable actions and the pursuit of a noble goal. Ultimately, their motivations are guided by their desire to make a difference in the lives of those affected by crime, even if their methods continue to stir debate and division within the city.

An extraordinary heroic group led by the skilled and tenacious Batwoman, Katherine Kane. Operating out of the newly formed Park Row district, their primary goal is to transform the district into a safe haven where anyone seeking refuge from the turmoil of Gotham can find solace and protection.

The group came together when Batwoman, inspired by her own journey as a vigilante, recognized the dire need to bring hope and safety to Park Row. 

Kane began her crusade by taking a formerly disgraced Robin, Stephanie Brown, under her wing. Brown was a reformed villain operating under the name Spoiler but, with Oracle’s blessing, took the moniker of Batgirl. Stephanie's determination to protect others and make amends for her past mistakes made her a valuable asset to the Daughters of the Bat.

Black Bat, Cassandra Cain, joined the duo next. As a former assassin with a unique talent for reading body language, Cassandra desired redemption and a chance to use her skills for good. Batwoman saw great potential in her and offered her a chance at redemption by becoming a hero.

The Daughters of the Bat's agenda centers around turning Park Row into a symbol of hope and sanctuary. They patrol the district relentlessly, confronting criminals and dismantling criminal organizations to create a safer environment for its inhabitants. They also work to provide essential resources and support to those in need, including shelters, food banks, and medical clinics.

To achieve their goals, the Daughters of the Bat utilize a combination of combat skills, strategic planning, and community outreach. They employ a proactive approach to crime-fighting, preventing criminal activities before they escalate, and establishing strong ties with the residents of Park Row to gain their trust.

Batwoman's strong leadership ensures that the group operates efficiently and effectively, coordinating their efforts to address both the immediate threats and the root causes of crime. Black Bat's stealth and combat prowess make her a formidable ally in the fight against crime, while Batgirl's tech expertise aids in gathering intelligence and uncovering criminal activities.

Through their unwavering commitment and resilience, the Daughters of the Bat aim to inspire the people of Park Row to take ownership of their community. They strive to break the cycle of despair and violence that engulfs Gotham, replacing it with a sense of unity, hope, and empowerment.

Operating out of Park Row, the Daughters of the Bat has become a symbol of hope in Gotham City. Their presence challenges the notion that some are beyond redemption, and they prove that even the darkest memories can be transformed into beacons of light and safety with determination and compassion.

The Duality League is a sinister and enigmatic group led by the conflicted and dual-faced Two-Face, Harvey Dent, alongside the unpredictable and eccentric Creeper, Jack Ryder. Operating out of the Upper West Side, their ominous goal is to capture as many heroes and villains as possible to try them in a twisted kangaroo court for their supposed crimes.

The members of the Duality League came together as a result of shared resentments and grievances against the justice system and those who claim to be above the law. Two-Face, once a renowned and respected district attorney, became disillusioned with Gotham's legal system after a tragic accident scarred him physically and psychologically, resulting in the emergence of his dual personality.

Creeper, a disgraced journalist, found a common cause with Two-Face in his pursuit of exposing the hypocrisy and corruption within the city's superhero and supervillain communities. The duo formed a twisted bond, driven by their shared belief in an extreme form of justice, where heroes and villains alike would face their true selves in a court of "law."

The Duality League's agenda is fueled by a skewed sense of justice and a belief that they are the arbiters of truth. They see themselves as the embodiment of a higher form of justice, where individuals' moral worth is determined by the flip of a coin or by succumbing to their dark sides. Their motivation stems from their belief that the heroes and villains of Gotham have escaped true accountability for their actions, and the League seeks to rectify that imbalance through their own distorted form of judgment.

Once apprehended, the victims are subjected to a theatrical courtroom setting, where they are forced to confront their past deeds. The fate of the accused is determined by a combination of rigged trials, manipulated evidence, and the whims of Two-Face's coin, leaving the proceedings to the mercy of chance.

As the Duality League's influence spreads, the League's pursuit of their twisted form of justice becomes a dark specter looming over the city, as heroes and villains alike are forced to confront their own inner demons and face the consequences of their actions in a trial like no other.

Their methods are intricate and far-reaching, involving meticulous planning, hacking into Gotham's infrastructure, and orchestrating elaborate schemes that test the minds of even the most brilliant individuals. Riddler takes great pleasure in others, leaving behind a trail of cryptic clues and riddles that challenge their deductive skills and intellect.

Cypher's technological expertise allows the Enigma Alliance to infiltrate and disrupt the city's digital networks, further complicating their puzzles and creating chaos in Gotham's systems. Their mind games extend to manipulating key figures, pitting heroes against each other, and using psychological warfare to unsettle their enemies.

Operating in Kubrick, a district known for its arts scene, theaters, and creative endeavors, the Enigma Alliance utilizes the district's resources to enhance its schemes. They harness Kubrick's technology to create complex traps, elaborate holographic displays, and sophisticated surveillance systems to further baffle and challenge their adversaries.

The Enigma Alliance's presence in Gotham serves as a constant reminder that intelligence can be just as formidable as physical strength. Their elaborate puzzles and games of wits become a citywide spectacle, attracting media attention and captivating the citizens of Gotham, who are left wondering who will ultimately emerge victorious in this high-stakes intellectual battle.

Their primal goal is to return Gotham to a state of primal savagery, where they can indulge in their animalistic instincts and hunt the wealthy elite for sport.

The members of the Feral Enclave came together through a shared desire to reject society's constraints and embrace their wild and predatory nature. Catman, a skilled hunter with a deep connection to the animal kingdom, found kinship with Cheetah, a fierce and cunning predator in her own right. Both had felt betrayed and disillusioned by society and sought refuge in their animalistic identities.

As the Feral Enclave continues to terrorize the Upper East Side, they attract other like-minded individuals who are drawn to their primal cause. Their growing ranks include individuals who feel marginalized or betrayed by society and who yearn for a return to their true animalistic instincts.

As they prowl the streets, the Feral Enclave leaves a trail of chaos and destruction, leaving the city's wealthy inhabitants in constant fear for their lives. They revel in the chaos they create, embracing their beastial savagery, and seeing themselves as the true rulers of the urban jungle, where only the fittest can survive.

The members of the Gotham City Sirens came together through a shared sense of duty to protect Gotham City from the relentless tide of crime and corruption. Catwoman, well known for her criminal past, felt a responsibility to use her skills for the greater good. Huntress, seeking to atone for her familys crimes, joined the group to channel her rage and desire for justice.

A sophisticated group led by the cunning and calculating Penguin, Oswald Cobblepot. Operating out of the industrial Down River district, the group's is a completely legal and legitimate front, masking Gotham's secret underground criminal networks.

The origins of the Iceberg Lounge can be traced back to Penguin's desire for wealth, power, and influence in Gotham City. Recognizing the limitations of overt criminal activities, Penguin hatched a brilliant scheme to create a front that would not only generate immense profits but also provide him with a veil of legitimacy that law enforcement would find difficult to penetrate.

To bring his plan to fruition, Penguin enlisted the Ventriloquist, Arnold Wesker, an expert puppeteer with a psychotic alter ego that manifests through his dummy, Scarface. Arnold was drawn to the promise of wealth and the opportunity to indulge his violent tendencies through Scarface. Later, Peyton Riley, the second Ventriloquist, joined the ranks, seeking her own twisted version of control over Gotham's criminal underworld.

The Iceberg Lounge's agenda revolves around operating a lavish and upscale nightclub that serves as both a haven for Gotham's criminal elite and a means of money laundering and other illicit activities. The Lounge provides a facade of sophistication and respectability, attracting high-profile clients, politicians, and even law enforcement officials, all oblivious to the criminal activities transpiring behind the scenes.

Their methods are shrewd and insidious, with Penguin using his political connections, charm, and business acumen to establish a powerful network of influence. Arnold Wesker and Peyton Riley intimidate and control their subordinates, enforcing loyalty within their ranks and eliminating any threats to their operation.

Mad Hatter, with his hypnotic technology and mind-controlling gadgets, plays a key role in ensnaring the minds of Gotham's elite and influential figures. He uses his mesmerizing abilities to bend their wills to his own, making them unwitting pawns in the Wonderland Gang's grand scheme. Killer Moth, on the other hand, employs her strategic mind and resourcefulness to infiltrate high-profile events and gatherings, ensuring the gang's operations remain covert and unpredictable.

The Wonderland Gang's ultimate goal is to use the fashion industry as a vehicle to disseminate their mind-controlling technology throughout Gotham. By manipulating perceptions and beliefs, they aim to sow seeds of distrust among the city's populace. They seek to weaken the resolve of ordinary citizens, making them susceptible to their mind-controlling tactics.

Operating from the shadows of Gotham's fashion district, the Wonderland Gang becomes an elusive and dangerous adversary, leaving their mark on the city's social elite and criminal underworld. Their actions strike fear into the hearts of Gotham's inhabitants, reminding them that even the most elegant and sophisticated world can be twisted and contorted by the dark machinations of the Wonderland Gang.
