I am Jeremiah Arkham. The director and heir to my family's estate of Arkham Asylum. My great great uncle Amadeus Arkham built this institution out of his own manor in a mission to aid all of those Gotham had left behind and all to give them a chance to re-enter society as sane as they had ever been. However, he had fallen after his best patient Mad Dog Hawkins broke into his home and had raped and murdered his wife and daughter, then in revenge, Amadeus murdered Mad Dog Hawkins in his sleep. Since then, my kin began to kill the patients he sought to help. In the end, he was incarcerated in his own asylum. From there in his madness, he slit his own throat and bled to death. Since then my family has been believed by many to be cursed. Many of my family had fallen into some form of madness, from Ezekiel Arkham who ran for mayor and later committed suicide, to Elijah Arkham to suffered greatly during his time in World War 2. However, I shall not fall for I am stronger than those before me. I shall continue Amadeus's work and cure Gotham of the plague of madness.
