Background

Harvey Dent was once Gotham City's celebrated District Attorney—a fearless prosecutor determined to rid his city of organized crime through the rule of law. His unwavering belief in justice earned him respect from allies and fear from criminals alike. Everything changed when mobsters attacked him during a courtroom trial, leaving half of his face permanently scarred by acid.

The physical wounds were only the beginning. The trauma shattered Harvey's already fragile psyche, giving rise to Two-Face—a second personality that abandoned certainty in favor of chance. Guided by his iconic silver coin, Two-Face reshaped Harvey's pursuit of justice into something merciless, believing fate alone has the right to decide guilt and innocence.

Now one of Gotham's most dangerous crime lords, Harvey exists in constant conflict with the monster born from his suffering. Every coin toss is another battle between the man he was and the villain he became.
