| “ | You know why people are afraid of the dark, don't you? It's a very basic loss of control, a certainty that while you suffer the disorientation of blindness... other creatures are moving through your territory, staking their own claims, manipulating your environment to suit their own needs. I'll tell you something, though. You have no need to fear those creatures who use the darkness to their advantage... Not as long as you stick to the one who's controlling the light...! | „ |

History[]
Born the illegitimate son of Elijah Van Dahl, whose is among Gotham's richest, Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot is a deformed man who was solely raised by his birth mother Gertrud Kapelput prior to her death. Having been ostracized by his bird-like appearance, called "Penguin" due to his limp, Oswald learned of his heritage and resolve to make his fortune after his father died. But being a bitter and ruthless sociopath, Penguin saw his best chances of getting rich is in crime as he lied, cheated, and stole his way from being an umbrella-man of Fish Mooney to owner of a nightclub as part of the Falcone Crime Family. But Penguin desired more, eventually ending up in Batman's sights.
