Description
The son of Santa Priscan revolutionary, Edmund Dorrance, Bane was born in darkness. When his father failed in an attempt to overthrow the government the nations Dictator, known as "King Snake" sentenced Dorrances pregnant wife to imprisonment in the "Pit". The "Pit" was a harsh place, a prison deep underground un-policed and ruled by the criminals that dwell there. Banes mother died giving birth some days after her arrival and Bane was introduced to the world. Normally, he would have been left to die, however, an inmate named "Kyle Abbot" takes pity on the child and protects him in his early formative years.
Kyle would raise Bane in the prison and teach him to defend himself, Kyle educated him in multiple languages and protected the young boy from some of the more predatory inmates, though he never named him. Aged 8 Bane would one day enter his cell and find kyle murdered at the hands of another inmate. It was here that Bane killed for the first time, murdering the inmate with only a pen. Thus Banes ascension would begin, even for a child he was physically large and over the next few years would garner a body count in the dozens.
Aged fifteen Bane had garnered a reputation and was feared by many of the other inmates. This would also be the time that "King Snakes" regime fell and the "Pit" was liberated. It is also here that Bane was approached by Ra's Al Ghul, the man responsible for King Snakes assassination. It turns out that Kyle Abbot had been one of his most-trusted enforcers an agent of The League of Shadows who had gone missing. Out of respect for his dead fried Ghul welcomed Bane into the League of Shadows and it is Ghul who named him.
In the Shadows Bane would flourish. He was intelligent, tactical and physically strong. He would find kinship in Talia, Ra's daughter, which would eventually lead to a secret relationship. On the day of his initiation Talia would come to Bane in tears and Bane owuld learn that Ra's had never intended to make Bane one of his agents and instead wanted Banes strong body to replace his own. In a rage Bane attempted to kill Ra's but was defeated with ease. However, he managed to escape Ra's and fled back to his South American homeland.
Enraged and obsessed with becoming stronger Bane would later become a test subject in the "Venom programme" and would ingest a toxin that enhanced his strength and made him feel no pain. Using this Toxin Bane would carve out a reputation as a feared assassin, a competitor to the League. Though his long-term goal is to one day lead the League his work would eventually take him to Gotham.
