- "Bane already has all he needs. He will find you. He will break you."
- —Bird to Batman
Bird has no criminal record prior to his incarceration. Though records of Peña Duro were sketchy at best, they contain no mention of a "Bird" alias. His admission and incarceration paperwork appear to have been lost. Since his escape, Bird is responsible for the kinds of heinous crimes that are committed at the behest of his master.
Following the reopening of Arkham Asylum a few years later, Bird fell out of contact with Bane, who suffered great mental damage from using the prototype super-Venom, TN-1. The most likely reason being that Bird lost faith in following Bane, whose mind greatly diminished and was completely obsessed with killing Batman.
Incident Reports[]
Before Arkham Origins Incident[]
Exact details about Angel Vallelunga's life prior to escaping Peña Duro is unknown as were all records of his existence. After he was freed from the prison by Bane, Angel took the name Bird and participated in many terrorist acts and crimes at the behest of his master.
Batman: Arkham Origins Incident[]
During Batman and Bane's fight at the Royal Hotel, Bird arrived in a helicopter to extract his master. Bird is later behind several Venom shipments throughout the city. After destroying the shipments, Batman confronts him at My Alibi. After defeating Bird and a few of Bane's men, Batman left them for the GCPD.
Batman: Arkham Origins Multiplayer[]
Bird is part of Bane's Militia who fight Joker's Henchmen in a series of gang wars.
He acts as a side announcer for Bane when Bane is either active in combat or he has marked the entry door in which he will show up in.
Personality[]
Bird is unshakably loyal to Bane and incredibly ruthless when his master ordered him to complete a task. Despite his high ranking in Bane's army, Bird is just another expendable puppet who takes a very 'don't say, don't think' attitude and did any order that his master requested no matter how heinous. Bird is said to have been imprisoned in Peña Duro along with Bane and shared his master's cunning, brutality, and intelligence.

Angel.
Batman's Database Profile[]
Like Bane, Bird has no criminal record prior to his incarceration. Though records of Peña Duro are sketchy at best, they contain no mention of a "Bird" alias. His admission and incarceration paperwork appear to have been lost. Unless of course, there is a truth to the rumors, and he was born and raised inside the prison, like Bane. Since his escape, Bird has been responsible for all kinds of heinous crimes committed at the behest of his master. This is a man who will obey any order without question and lay down his life without a second thought. In short, a fanatic - and very dangerous because of it.
