Biography
Aaron Helzinger was imprisoned at Arkham Asylum after killing his family with his bare hands.

As an inmate at the asylum, Aaron ended up being seduced by Barbara Kean who requested that she "protects" him when Jerome Valeska convinced her to try and befriend Richard Sionis. When a new prisoner, the self proclaimed "Zaardon", arrived, he collapsed and a blue gas escaped from his mouth, knocking out Aaron and his fellow inmates. They are captured and taken a penthouse, and given the opportunity to work for Theo Galavan to cause chaos in Gotham in a team named the Maniax. Everyone but Richard Sionis (who was killed) agreed to be part of the group.

Aaron and his fellow escaped convicts threw several men from a rooftop, with each letter sprayed on them spelling out MANIAX! and spreading their message.

During their attack in the Gotham City Police Department, Barbara lured out her ex-boyfriend James Gordon and he ended up being beaten and attacked by Aaron. The pair of them then made their escape, leaving Gordon to stagger back and discover the massacre the Maniax carried out.

It isn't known what happened to Aaron afterwards as he wasn't seen again.
