## Background

### 1971 - 1980: Harvey Dent

Harvey Dent is the son of Christopher Kent & his wife Evelyn Dent. He grew up in middle class Gotham, as his father was a politician. To the public, he was praised but in reality, Christopher was an evil man that would gamble, get drunk, & abuse his son constantly. He sometimes decided whether he would beat him or not on the flip of a coin. The abuse would be the beginning of Dent's lifelong struggle with free will & his eventual inability to make choices on his own, relying on the coin to make all of his decisions.  Harvey believe his mother was never aware of his abuse as she was never around when his father committed such acts.

When he was nine, Harvey tied his father up & attempted to leave him in the house trapped. But a naive Harvey didn't calculate his mother coming home so when she arrived, she believed something was wrong with her son & agreed with Christopher that he needed help. Harvey was sent to a rehabilitation home funded by Arkham Asylum for young & wealthy boys in Gotham.

At the home, he made his first real friend in Bruce Wayne. He was sent to the home to better handle his grief over his parents' murder. The boy became close friends, confiding in each other things they never told another soul. The two eventually made a pact that someday they'd each kill the other's enemy - Harvey would kill Joe Chill & Bruce would kill Christopher Kent.

### 1980 - 2003: Harvey Dent

When Harvey returned home, he found that his father attempted to turn over a new leaf following his absence. To prove he was serious, his father melted down his coin, turning it into a coin with only two-heads as a symbol that he would never beat Harvey again. This caused Harvey to back out of his deal with Bruce & give his father a second chance but would lead to a falling out between the the two.

At school, Harvey began excelling in his work. He ran for student body president for all four years of high school & won. Following in his dad's footsteps, Harvey decided he would do something with politics & got his degree in political science. Upon graduating, he enrolled in law school. After passing the bar, Harvey decided to become a prosecutor for the District Attorney's office as means of coping with his backing out of his deal with Bruce. He told himself he would do this to capture men like Joe Chill.

As he rose through the ranks of Gotham's high class, he reconnected with old friend Bruce. At one of his events, he introduced him to one of his artists, Gilda Gold. The two got along famously, leading to a wedding the next year. Bruce & Harvey grew closer around this time & he even suggest that Harvey become Gotham's District Attorney. Him & Gilda helped Harvey campaign for the position, a position he easily won.

As District Attorney, he led a crusade against the filth & corruption in Gotham. He forged meaningful alliances with Police Commissioner James Gordon & Batman to rid the city of gangs & organized crime. During the sentence hearing of Sal Maroni, the mobster throws a vial of sulfuric acid on Dent's face during a cross-examination, horribly scarring the left side of his face.

After the trauma he had gone through, Dent began losing his mind. No matter how much Gilda & Bruce tried to help, nothing worked. Harvey soon developed a second personality for the scarred side of his face & began basing his decisions off the 50/50 chance of the flip of a coin, just like his father did. Dent's insanity soon led him to a life of crime, taking on the name "Two-Face" as he fought his former ally Batman.

### Weaknesses

* During The Cataclysm, Two Face formed a "friendship" with Detective Renee Montoya by reaching the kinder Harvey Dent persona. Unfortunately, he fell in love with her.

Bullock then had her framed for murder. He eventually kidnapped her but she was saved by Bullock & Batman.
