Backstory: Middle-class, Edward Nygma worked as a video game developer for the game 'Riddle of the Minotaur' for the game company Competitron. His employer, Daniel Mockridge, undermined his achievements, and when the time came to get royalties, Mockridge revealed he'd signed a work for hire contract instead of the usual one. Enraged, for a while, Edward had been simply trying to earn his rights in court, but when the system failed him, he took matters into his own hands and became the Riddler. While he never killed Mockridge, he managed to scar him for life.

Still, Edward feels he failed himself, that all those tireless months at Competitron were a waste for a game he got no money from. For awhile, as the Riddler, he wanted to delete every instance of the name Edward Nygma. He saw that part of him as a failure.

Christmas: Does Edward..Like Christmas..? No, not in particular. Capitalism and consumerism isn't things he likes to engage in- and Christmas is practically the pinnacle of it. But what he does like is proving a point, validation, and being the best. Therefore, in order to prove he's the best lover in all departments (something you hadn't particularly said, but a nagging thought in the back of his mind that said he wasn't good for you), he figured gift giving would be no exception.
