## Background

### 1991 - 2013: Luke Fox

Born into wealth & prestige, Luke had it all growing up. His father had an eye for business & finance, making him a highly sought out financial advisor in the business world. After his father got a job at Wayne Enterprises, the family up & moved from Coast City to Gotham in a heartbeat when Luke was seven.

Luke adapted well to the new setting, settling in nice at his new school Gotham Academy. He would later became close friends with Jason Todd, the adopted son of his father's employer. The two tended to get in trouble a lot, something neither one of their fathers appreciated. But the friendship would sadly come to an end with Jason's death at the end of 2006.

Luke finished the first half of the year from home as he was too devastated to show up at school. Over the Christmas break, he began spending the rest of his free time at the Wildcat Gym hitting punching bags to let his frustrations out. It's also where he began to feel most at home but once the following summer ended, Luke went back to school mode & had forgotten about boxing.

Things began to look better for Luke until the 2008 earthquake hit. As soon as the bombings were detonated, his father used his connections to get Luke, his younger siblings & mother out of the city while Tamara stayed behind to join the relief effort. Luke & his family were set up in one of Bruce Wayne's properties in Gotham's sister city of Blüdhaven.

After finishing a tumultuous last year of high school, Luke went on to attend the Ivy University. It became very clear to all around him that Luke had inherited his father's natural intellect. He would graduate with a dual degree in engineering & business management. Upon his graduation, Luke had several job offers but none of them matched his former & true passion.

### 2013 - 2014: Luke Fox

Against his father wishes, Luke decided not to pursue any of the job offers & instead took to MMA. Luke would train under Ted Grant at the Wildcat Gym during the day then was the cage fighter "Vulture" at night. His father was greatly disappointed, feeling that Luke was wasting all his talent & his future on "barbaric cage-matches."

His training would eventually pay off when Batman approaches him about becoming a crimefighter. Luke accepts but asks what made him think he was ready. Batman then revealed himself to be none other than Bruce Wayne. He had been watching Luke for awhile & felt that he was ready. Once Lucius gave his blessing, there was nothing stopping it but there was a catch. Luke would have to take a job at Wayne Enterprises. Believing it to be a fair trade, Luke became an Account Executive in the Financial Division. He took on the name Batwing & trained for the next couple of months before fully joining the Bat Family.
