"The Sword of Sin. Your ally and instrument of justice, a vanquisher of evil for generations, she thirsts for blood."
"Generations? That sword was made yesterday."
"It doesn't matter. Our replica is central to his acceptance of his new identity. An awe-inspiring, signature weapon."

—Hugo Strange and Ethel Peabody^[src]

The Sword of Sin was a Dumas family artifact that was wielded by Azrael approximately 300 years ago. The sword was forged by the monks in the Order of St. Dumas and it is fabled to have supernatural powers.
