History

Valerie Vale previously resided in another city, and her father and brothers were police officers.

Valerie arrives in Gotham to uncover the activities of the Indian Hill facility after it transpired they were experimenting on human subjects and turning them into 'monsters', with the experiments themselves ending up escaping into the city. She is present at a press conference held at the Gotham City Police Department where she tries to grill captain Nathaniel Barnes on information and why only lead research Professor Hugo Strange was arrested and charged. Crime boss Oswald Cobblepot makes his entrance and accuses the GCPD of being liars and keeping the truth from the people of Gotham, and tells them to find Fish Mooney who he says are leading the monsters and urges them to find her.

She took an interest in Jim Gordon, a former GCPD Detective who is now working as a bounty hunter bringing in the monsters for a price.
