The leader of the False Face Society, the notorious crime lord Roman Sionis, aka Black Mask, is an enemy of Batman and his allies. Wearing a mask carved from the ebony of his parent's casket, the wood was severely burned into his flesh during a crime gone wrong, making it impossible to remove.
A prominent figure in Gotham's criminal underworld, Black Mask has ties to several high-profile arms dealers often frequented by fellow costumed villains.
With public services and funding severely limited in the Bowery, Sionis capitalised in the lack of police presence, claiming the neighbourhood as his own territory. There his thugs would operate with impunity, looting and harassing the local residents. Yet he would stick to the shadows, rarely showing his face unless he could help it.
His operations were crippled when a team of vigilantes took down several of his lieutenants. However, like always he managed to sneak away in the chaos.
