A crooked financier who stole millions of dollars, Warren White thought he'd scored a legal victory when his insanity plea went through. But when he got to Arkham Asylum, he realized his mistake; driven insane by the other inmates, he was also disfigured by an encounter with Mr. Freeze that left him without hair, a nose, ears, lips and several of his fingers. Calling himself the Great White Shark, he filed his teeth into fangs to more perfectly resemble his new namesake. Putting his financial skills to use, he has become a major player in Gotham's underground crime scene, running a number of rackets from his cell in Arkham.

BIT A GUARD LAST WEEK! Psychological Profile: At best a mild psychopath upon admittance to the asylum, White has graduated into a full-blown case of antisocial personality disorder, partly due to maltreatment at the hands of his fellow inmates. After severe facial disfigurements by Mr. Freeze left him without lips, nose, ears, or hair, White filed down his teeth in an attempt to further differentiate himself from others. His sense of self is now completely dependent upon his identity as a dangerous criminal.

Trivia[]
- Although Great White Shark does not make an appearance in Batman: Arkham City, a building with "W. White" on it may be White's hideout.
- In Batman: Arkham Asylum, after the first encounter with Scarecrow, a jar can be seen in the Morgue in the Medical Facility, containing two fingers, an ear, and lips. On the jar is a sticky-note with "The Great White Shark" written on it. Scanning it will answer the riddle "What silent killer of the ocean can be found in a tiny jar?" and scanning it will solve a riddle and unlock White's bio.
- The same sign in Arkham City is seen in Arkham Knight demo.
- On the Arkham Night shift board, in the medical facility, it is shown he has been interviewed or at least treated by Dr. Sarah Cassidy.
- His bio in Arkham Asylum says that an encounter with Mr Freeze was the reason he was left disfigured. This differs with his traditional depiction in the mainstream source material. In the six issue series Arkham Asylum: Living Hell, in which both Warren White and Aaron Cash made their debuts, it was an encounter with Batman villain Jane Doe that left him disfigured as she locked him in a cell made specifically for Freeze and was always ice cold, as he spent too long in the cell this eventually made three of his fingers, his nose, ears and upper lip catch frost bite and fall off him, while his hair eventually starts falling out.
