According to her plans with Gordon, she starts gaining Oswald's trust, only to manipulate him to her own gain. Once Cobblepot discovers this, Sofia uses her criminal expertize to cause Cobblepot to be arrested. By also killing her father, Sofia emerges as the new kingpin in Gotham, her rule unchallenged thus far.

Biography

Past

Sofia was born inside the criminal Falcone family. She was the only daughter of Carmine Falcone and the sister of Mario Falcone, later Calvi. While Sofia grew up, she did not experience much warmth from her father, who was busy leading his criminal empire. However, Sofia still managed to get a good look behind the machinery of Carmine's criminal network. When she was thirteen years old, Carmine sent Sofia away from Gotham in to prevent her from being corrupted by the city. Instead, Sofia tended to Carmine Falcone's businesses in the southern US.

About ten years later, Sofia learned that her brother Mario was killed by Jim Gordon in Gotham City.

Return to Gotham

Years after Carmine has fled Gotham himself and has moved to Miami, he is visited by Jim Gordon. Gordon reveals to him that Oswald Cobblepot has basically taken over the city and has created an era of crime which he calls 'Pax Penguina'. Gordon wants Carmine to return to Gotham, because under Carmine's rule the city was treated fairly - with Carmine being an honorable old school gangster. However, Carmine reveals that he is too old to come back to Gotham again. Sofia, who has joined the two, claims that she will head to Gotham instead but Carmine forbids it, claiming that she is not ready for Gotham.
