Trogg was one of three underlings in service to the crime lord known as Bane.
History
Trogg met Bane when he was a child in Peña Duro. As an experienced inmate, Trogg saved Bane's life from an abusive inmate. When Bane grew up, they became friends and Trogg taught Bane fighting techniques and also helped him training. He was instrumental on Bane's breakout from Peña Duro and together, along with Bird and Zombie, they went to Gotham City to capitalize their own crime empire.[1]
Trogg provided Bane with advise whenever something new happened in Gotham[2] and he was also part of the party that attacked Riddler under Bane's instructions.[3]
Trogg helped Bane orchestrate a massive break-out at Arkham Asylum by building a robot that allowed them to steal weaponry from the armory that they used to destroy the Arylum's walls.[4] Trogg kep Bane company at their hideout and they would always keep an eye for the many released inmates' activities.[5] Trogg was the first of Bane's henchmen to attack Batman, before his encounter with Bane.[6]
Bane's Criminal Empire
Shortly after Trogg's encounter with Batman, Bane defeated the Dark Knight and his rise to the power started. Bird, Trogg and Zombie started a rampage over the city to eliminate competition and recruit more members to Bane's crime empire, as they were commanded by their boss. They even tried to recruit Catwoman, without success.[7]
Bird, Trogg and Zombie were sent by Bane to verify the supposed threat of a new Batman and the three of them were brutally defeated by the new Dark Knight.[8] They were arrested and locked away by the police and each of them were interrogated about Bane's activities, but none of them revealed anything. They were soon sprung out of prison and they thought it was all part of Bane's plan, but when they told their boss about their escape, they were once again attacked by Batman, who was responsible for releasing them and used them to locate Bane's hideout.[9] Bird, Trogg and Zombie were soon recaptured by the police and they couldn't break out since their leader, Bane, was captured shortly after.[10]
