Aaron Danzig is a patient of Arkham Asylum. He was turned into a murderer by Jack Gruber's electrical experiment and escaped with him during a prison riot.
Biography[]
Originally a docile inmate at Arkham Asylum, Aaron was an unfortunate victim of fellow Arkham inmate Jack Gruber, who is in actuality Jack Buchinsky. Buchinsky used Danzig in quest to create a perfect henchmen through the use of crude electrical lobotomies. Unlike Buckinsky's other victims, Danzig's lobotomy was successful, leaving him open to suggestion and becoming extremely aggressive. Telling his new partner to kill the guards, Danzig and Buchinsky escape Arkham together.[1]
Danzig followed Buchinsky, now being called "the Electrocutioner" by the press because of his electric-based weapons of choice, as Jack attempted to get revenge on the criminals that had turned their backs on him, causing the Electrocutioner to get arrested in the first place.
When Buchinsky's attempt on Sal Maroni's life was thwarted by James Gordon, Danzig was captured along with the Electrocutioner and sent back to Arkham.[2]

Notes[]
- Press-releases and IMDb pages of episodes originally suggested Aaron Danzig to be Aaron Helzinger. It was probably so on the early stages of writing and maybe even filming (as surnames "Danzig" and "Helzinger" are very similar and could be dubbed and lip-synced in already filmed sequences with relative ease), but was likely abandoned and changed the last moment, as Aaron Helzinger was largely written into first episodes of Season 2.
- As such, the Gotham Season 2 Red Band Trailer shows footage of Aaron Danzig from the episode "Rogues' Gallery" to show Aaron Helzinger's past.[3]
