Profile
Dr. Hugo Strange is a esteemed psychologist living in Gotham City. Growing up from "Unfortunate circumstances", Hugo overcame his troubled childhood as a orphan living in Gotham's worst neighborhood and became a professor of psychology in Gotham State University. He eventually came to fame after his profile of the infamous Gotham Serial Killer "Faceless" lead to his arrest. Now a reasonably famous man, Hugo Strange often appears on Gotham TV shows as a panelist when not busy at Gotham U, most notably on the Jack Ryder Show, where he has a reoccurring role. But underneath his Grandfathery, scholarly exterior is a cold, ruthless and sociopathic criminal mastermind with a ever increasing obsession with the Dark Knight, of whom he is currently preparing a profile on.

History
History:
Hugo Strange was born in Gotham City on January 21, 1976. From an early age, his childhood was marked with grief and trauma. When he was five years old, his parents were killed in a tragic car accident that Hugo was a witness of, their bodies forever being etched in his memories. After the accident, Hugo was sent to live in an orphanage in Hell's Crucible, one of Gotham's worst neighborhoods. During his childhood, he saw other children come and go, eventually being adopted while he always rejected. This, alongside the general horrible conditions of the orphanage, caused Hugo to strive to one day ascend above his miserable life and become successful, despite the odds stacked against him.
Once Hugo graduated High-School, he earned a scholarship to Gotham State and decided to major in Psychology. After years of study, he eventually earned his Ph.D. in Psychology. He ultimately became a professor of Psychology in Gotham State, and probably would've remained there for the rest of his life if it weren't for one incident. When Strange was 47, he was already a well-respected professor in Gotham State when the GCPD visited him. During this time, a serial killer named Faceless, whose MO was wearing exaggerated masks of his victims before killing them, then stealing their actual faces after death was terrorizing Gotham's East Side. The GCPD wanted Strange to make a profile and were willing to pay him a decent reward for one.
History 2:
When Strange turned 49, his obsession with the Caped Crusader reached a critical point. Strange decided to make a profile on the Caped Crusader himself and started by secretly organizing crimes across the city to get a better view of Batman's psyche and to relieve the boredom he was beginning to feel about his life, despite the fame he had. In the process of making his profile on the Batman, Strange's obsession became worse and worse, to the point where he started to dress up as the Batman in order to "get into his mind." He also found that he enjoyed organizing complex crimes and began to view himself as a sort of Moriarty. He started to have his henchmen commit challenging crimes outside of Gotham to prove he can, while still maintaining the facade of the well-respected Psychology Professor at Gotham State. It has been over a year since Strange started the creation of Batman's profile, and, to his delight, he is almost done.
Personality
Personality:
In reality however, Hugo Strange is a obsessive, sociopathic man with no regard for anyone but himself. He is quite ruthless, often punishing henchmen for the tiniest of infractions to show as a "warning" for others. He is also a know manipulator, using his skills as a psychologist to get people to do what he wants. While he rarely shows it, Hugo has a temper which he manages to keep in check, but will fly into a rage if one of his more seemingly foolproof plans fail.
Abilities
Genius Level Intellect:
Skills
Chemistry:
Besides Psychology, Hugo's second scientific specialty is Chemistry. Studying it as a minor while in college, Hugo is just as skilled at it as he is at Psychology. As a result, he is able to make a variety of chemical compounds, including a truth serum.
Genetics:
While not as skilled at it as he is with Psychology and Chemistry, Hugo has a basic understanding of Human Genetics. He often does experiments on Human genes, using unfortunate homeless individuals snatched from the streets of Gotham.
Hypnosis:
As part of his job as a Psychologist, Hugo often uses Hypnosis on his patients and is quite competent at it. He does it via the classic pocket watch trick, but it only seems to work on weak-minded individuals and stronger minded subjects can resist it more easily.
Psychology:
Hugo Strange is, of course, a expert Psychologist. He knows how the Human brain functions and how to manipulate it for his own ends.
Tactical Analysis:
Resources
Fame:
Strange is relatively famous in Gotham and this allows perks other people would not be able to get like access to exclusive clubs and the respect of the general public. It also helps drops suspicion of him being a criminal since being in the public eye supposedly makes him less likely to be a crook.

Hugo Strange often uses Henchmen to aid him in his schemes. Strange makes his henchmen swear loyalty to him and makes them promise to keep their allegiance to him secret, even when captured. His men are often clad in dress shirts and ties and uses small firearms like pistols.

Hugo Strange has secretly purchased an old hospital building outside of Gotham and uses it as a lair and as a laboratory. Currently, Strange's lair is still fronting in the form of an old abandoned hospital that is fenced off by a supposed contracting firm named New Eden Incorporated, in reality, a cover company made by Strange. Within Strange's is a variety of scientific equipment including beakers, various chemicals, a series of restraining beds to hold "subjects, and surgical equipment. Besides the hospital, Hugo has a series of lesser safehouses for his men scattered throughout Gotham. Most of these are old abandoned buildings owned by New Eden and mostly have a two-way radio, a small stockpile of ammo, and a basic security system to alert his men to intruders.
Lars:
Lars is Hugo Strange's bodyguard and main enforcer. Lars is a skilled brawler and is extremely loyal to Strange, to the point where he will willingly die to protect him. He often accompanies Strange's men on crimes, often acting as their muscle and as Strange's envoy.
Laundry:
When Strange gets his hands on illicit funds, he ships it to Mr. Clean,a Gotham money launderer who cleans the money and ships it back to Strange.
Lex Corp Stock:
Hugo Strange met Lex Luthor right after the arrest of Faceless and struck up an acquaintanceship. After a year, Lex decided to give Hugo a few shares of his company, which significantly supplements his income. (Note, already have permission from Lex to use this.)
Money:
While not at Bruce Wayne or Lex Luthor levels of wealth, Strange is relatively well-off due to his appearances on various TV Shows and his job as a University professor. He also supplements his income through choice investments in the stock market, including Lex Corp. With his generous income, which is around the mid-millions, Hugo Strange has been able to buy a decent three-story home in Gotham's suburbs and has been able to purchase various properties around Gotham anonymously.
