Harvey Dent


This is the rough history/biography of my Harvey Dent / Two-Face

Harvey was raised in an abusive home. A very violent father who robbed banks, and an alcoholic mother who neglected Harvey. Through the years of emotional and physical abuse at the hands of his father Harvey began to manifest another identity. "Big Bad Harv" who embodied all of the pain that Harvey had suffered creating a deep seated anger and hatred. Harveys' father would punish him using various twisted methods, however his favourite was to give Harvey two choices, then flip his special two headed sided coin. Which of course would land on whatever punishment his father desired. His father would spend his drunken nights mumbling about big plans with gangs of men to take banks for everything and would do his bidding for him. At the age of eleven Harvey's father was caught and convicted of armed robbery and sentenced to 25 to life in blackgate prison. After Harvey and his mother relocate to a new neighbourhood, Harvey enrolls in a new school. The pressure of his fathers conviction and the new school cause Big Bad Harv to reemerge which creates violent outbursts in class and the school yard resulting in a number of fights. Soon Harveys' teacher has noticed the big mood changed in Harvey and requests he see a therapist. After a few appointments the therapist concludes that Harvey is suffering from a personality disorder. Through years of treatment and therapy Big Bad Harv is surpressed and Harvey is able to follow his asspirations of becoming a lawyer to put away men like his father. Harvey meets the love of his life during law school. After graduating Harvey becomes a big shot prosecutor with aspirations to put away men like his father. After a few years as ADA he marries his law school sweetheart and they begin to start a family. Harvey is then given a promotion to District Attourney of Gotham. The added pressure of becoming a father and working as the District Attourney. Big Bad Harv begins to resurface slowly, at first only in high stress situations. However he begins to appear more frequently especially now that Harvey is expecting a boy and he has the biggest case Gotham might of ever seen. The defendant is Oswald Cobblepot whom is charged with murder and conspiracy, as well as dozens of other major and minor charges. The evidence is overwhelming and Harvey is insured a swift victory. As the case goes on roadblocks start building up and evience begins to disappear threatening to cause a mistrial. While Oswald Cobblepot is on the stand he makes an off hand comment about the witnesses not being credible as they didnt see anything. That neither will Harvey or his family, creates an episode of Big Bad Harv right when he goes to attack Oswald an explosion rings through the courtroom. Harvey takes a brunt of the blowback from the blast which scars and burns his left side harshly. The last thing Harvey sees before unconsciousness is Cobblepot escaping. Harvey wakes up in the hospital, deranged and confused wrapped in bandages all over his left side. The doctors inform him of the damage and request that he take some time to recrupiate. The first time Hrvey see's his face it strikes horror into his heart. He looks like a monster, which splits his identity again into a representation of the worst monster he has known, his father. After a few weeks he returns to work with the bandages as he does not want to create panic. Within another month his baby boy is born whom him and his wife name Edward Anthony Dent. Everytime Harvey see's his burned face it ignites his new personality which doesn't seem to have fully developed yet as it is just a reminescent image of his father, making Harvey become abusive towards his wife. Over the next few months it begins to get worse, until he hears news that his father has been killed in a prison riot. Harvey relieved hoping it to be the end of his violent outbursts. However after a few days he recieves his fathers belongings in the mail. When Harvey opens the mail he sees the two-faced coin with the one side scratched beyond recognition. The new identity fully manifests itself becoming Two-Face. Two-Face who will become one of the biggest crime lords in all of Gotham and one of the greatest bank robbers to ever live, who is cursed to flip his coin for any decision.
