THE SINS OF THE FATHERSaint Crowe, despite her name, could hardly be called moral. Gotham City didn't make moral creatures, only those who could survive by the brute of their fists and quickness of their tongue. It built survivors, not church followers. With ash in the air and blood on the streets, Saint reveled in the ways of Gotham. Born to criminals playing socialites, she learned the talk of the wealthy and cruelness of the underbelly.
Saint was supposed to be the salvation.
The Crowes left their mark on Gotham generations ago, when speakeasys rose in popularity and smuggling became an American trademark. They depraved Gotham, rotting its core, and keeping their pockets full. Though named Saint, she was never supposed to be one. Tobias Crowe trained his daughter without mercy; how to defend herself, how to take the lives of others, and how to charm her way into the pockets of the rich. A sinner, not a saint.
Tobias' idea of his daughter was slaughtered when he was. Left only with her family, who didn't know how to keep up with the criminal world, the Crowes exited the mob underbelly, still lime lighting as socialites. Protected by Carmine Falcone, the family lived peacefully. Saint had no desire to return to the world, but her fascination with the darkness of Gotham grew as words spelled onto her notebook.
Employed by the Gotham Gazette, Saint Crowe held no interest in uncovering the secrets of the mob, but she did turn her eye on the new vigilante in town. Nicknamed the Batman by police and reporters, she was determined to get an interview him. Intertwined in the night of Batman and the returned Gotham Prince, Bruce Wayne, Saint found herself drawn back into her father's lifestyle.
