Past
Hush, formally known as Dr. Thomas Elliot, was born with a rich family and was a childhood friend to Bruce Wayne, but, unlike Bruce, despised his parents due to his fathers abusive nature and his mothers inability to control her husbands temper towards Elliot. Driven by independance and wealth, he cut the brakes of his parents car and managed to get his father killed and mother severly injured, but she was saved when Thomas Wayne used his surgical skills on her.

Elliot was then forced to wait for his mother to die many years later to inherit her wealth and propety, causing a violent and maddened rage towards the Wayne family, which he only wanted revenge on Bruce after his parents deaths. Elliot, due to revenge, spent decades to come up with a elaborate plan to ruin his life and be satisfied with victory.

Some time before entering arkham city, he began murdering people to steal there faces, so he could construct a perfect duplicate of Bruce Wayne's. These three murders earned him the name the identify thief.

 * "This is the journal of Dr. Thomas Elliot. My work is complete. The pain, though still present, has been worth it. He will suffer for what he did to me. He will suffer the way I've suffered. As I look in the mirror, I understand how Leonardo felt when he finished the Mona Lisa, how Michelango felt when David was complete. My work has taken too long, but now it's time for my masterpiece to be unveiled. My new face is ready."
