Ian Hargrove was a patient at Arkham Asylum, convicted of bombing twelve buildings.

Biography[]

Early life[]

Ian Hargrove had a history of mental health problems dating back to childhood, which his parents were unable to afford treatment for. His brother tried to keep him out of trouble but Ian developed an uncanny talent for explosives and bombed 12 buildings. Although he specifically targeted arms-dealerships and weapons manufacturing plants, Ian's bombs killed a janitor, landing him in Blackgate.[1]

Working for the Russians[]

During a transfer from Blackgate to a mental hospital, Ian was taken hostage by the Russian Mob led by Gregor Kasyanov. They threatened to kill his brother if he refused to manufacture explosives for them. In a bid to be rescued, he planted a serial plate in one of the bombs which allowed Gordon and Bullock to track him to an abandoned warehouse, yet the mob retook Ian hostage before he could be freed. When his captors attempted to break into Don Falcone's vault, they were ambushed by the police, leading to his rescue. After exiting police custody, Ian became one of the first patients of Arkham Asylum.[1]
