Biography[]
Origin[]
Warren is a great executive, being mainly known in the criminal industry being a fairly effective finance agent, serving as a person with high knowledge in economics and mathematics. However, his illicit activities were eventually brought to light, which would cause his subsequent arrest by the GCPD. To avoid being taken to jail, he would pose as a mentally unstable person to be taken to Arkham Asylum, as he the place was more relaxed. This theory would be proven false, however, as he was attacked several times by the asylum's inmates, most notably Mr. Freeze. Mutilated from the villain's cyrokinetic weaponry, he go on to commit heinous crimes inside of the asylum.
Somehow, Warren (at this point adopting the name of the Great White Shark) managed to escape from the asylum with other inmates that he had recruited, committing financial scams and heinous crimes in addition to using his teeth as intimidation to scare his most vulnerable victims. All of this led to the Great White Shark being caught and sent to Arkham Asylum, where he underwent psychological sessions with Dr. Young and Dr. Warren.
Batman: Arkham Asylum[]
Due to the Joker and Harley Quinn's assault on the asylum, the Great White Shark escaped with other inmates, such as Mr. Freeze, the Riddler, Firefly, and Catwoman. Inside the asylum morgue, Batman ends up finding parts of his body in a jar of water, possibly the frozen parts that Mr. Freeze took from him.
Batman: Arkham City[]
The Great White Shark eventually was recaptured by Batman, being transferred to Arkham Island after it was opened by Hugo Strange. He used a building on the island for his schemes, and later escaped with his allies after Protocol 10 through unknown means.
Batman: Arkham Knight[]
In Gotham City, the Great White Shark was almost killed by the Arkham Knight, but he was able to flee. Currently, his whereabouts are unknown.
His body parts are kept in the GCPD Evidence Archive.
Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum[]

He took the credit for the killing of serial killer Victor Zsasz, which was actually carried out by King Shark. During an escape attempt from Arkham White is killed by Deathstroke.
