Biography[]
Early life[]
Sasha and her brother, Charles, grew up poor and abused by their father. Their mother worked as a waitress at a diner where she met Elijah. Grace, sensing an opportunity for social climb, grew close to Elijah and he offered her and her children sanctuary at his estate. They later married, making Charles and Sasha heirs to Elijah's massive fortune and catapulting him into a life of privilege.
Meeting Oswald Cobblepot[]
During a visit to the Gotham cemetary, Elijah met Oswald Cobblepot and discovered that he was his son from a previous relationship. Elijah took Oswald home and introduced him to his new family, declaring over dinner that Oswald was his only biological son. Grace, Sasha, and Charles tried to force Oswald away by outing him as a criminal, but Elijah vouched for him, believing he had changed.[1]
Sasha tried to seduce Oswald but he rejected her ouright, leaving her frustrated. When Elijah's heart condition worsened and he seemed inclined to include Oswald in his will, Charles was present when Grace and Sasha conspired to poison Oswald. Instead, Elijah drank the poison and died.[2]
Death[]
After Elijah's death, Grace and the children turned on Oswald and made him their servant. Grace and Sasha insulted his cooking. Their constant bullying eventually broke through Oswald's Arkham conditioning, causing him to snap and kill Charles and Sasha. He cooked them into a roast dinner which he served to Grace before killing her, too.[3]
