Hugo Strange

"How does it feel to stand on the very stone that ran with your parents' blood? Do you feel sad? Full of rage? Or does that outfit help bury your feelings? Hiding your true self. You're truly an extraordinary specimen... I look forward to breaking you."

Character Bio
He has an entry in the Character Bios. His profile states:

First gaining fame as a psychiatrist who declared that he’d fully analyzed the Dark Knight from afar, Professor Hugo Strange lent credence to his own claims by deducing Batman’s true identity as Bruce Wayne. However, his interest in the Batman turned into a deranged obsession, and he’s used his medical expertise to hatch a series of bizarre plots based around genetics and mind control in order to defeat the Batman and possibly take his place. Strange’s fragile mental state has left him with intermittent knowledge of Batman’s true identity, a fact that hangs over Bruce Wayne’s head – for if Strange ever snaps completely, Batman’s greatest secret might be revealed…

Batman Arkham City
Professor Hugo Strange is the primary antagonist of Batman: Arkham City. Professor Strange is voiced by Corey Burton.

Before the Game
Before Quincy Sharp became the Mayor of Gotham City, Strange made a deal with Sharp that if he cut off a part of the city, Strange would help with Sharp's political campaign, and that all Sharp had to do was look away and not question about it.

Gameplay
After Quincy Sharp becomes the new Mayor of Gotham City, Sharp decided to cut off a part of the city for the inmates to roam around. Hugo Strange was appointed to take care and keep an eye on the city. While he was doing that Strange was also studing Batman, and even figured out his identity. After Arkham City was complete, Strange arrested everyone that was working for him (The Political Prisoners) and left them to rot in the city. He even arrested the Mayor because he outlived his usefulness. He also created a special police force called TYGER Guards to "help" maintain order in Arkham City.

During the gameplay, Strange kept on mentioning, Protocol 10, and that it would start in ten hours. It turns out that Protocol 10 meant to bomb down at Arkham City and kill all the Inmates in Arkham City. It was later confirmed that Strange was working with someone more powerful than him. After the 1st phase of Protocol 10 was complete, Strange was literally backstabbed by his partner, which turned out to be Ra's Al Ghul. After being betrayed, Strange activate Protocol 11, which was to self-destruct Wonder Tower. Doing so Wonder Tower exploded, killing Strange in the process.
