History[]

Background[]

Aaron Cash's oriignal job was police officer. He had a wife and daughter. Eventually, he took a job as a security guard in Arkham Asylum. He would be involved in transporting inmates between cells and other areas, such as interview rooms, cafeteria, and recreational areas.

During one such time of escorting Killer Croc between a psychiatry appointment and his cell, Croc bit off one of Aaron's hands and consumed it. Cash was able to receive medical care in time, but since his hand was irretrievable, he had it replaced with a prosthetic of two hooks that could emulate a real hand's grip. He shortly returned to work.

Batman: Arkham Asylum[]

One of the most senior and respected Security Guards at Arkham Asylum, Cash is only afraid of one inmate-Killer Croc, who severely wounded him and bit off his left hand. However, Cash remained determined to keep the asylum's inmates under control and to conquer the fears of Croc.

When Batman, Frank Boles and another guard escorted Joker, Cash operated the Weapons Scanner. During the Joker's takeover, Cash made his way to the Medical Facility where the room he was in were filled with Joker Gas. Cash and another Doctor survived and Batman managed to clear the room out of gas using the fans. Cash then regrouped with other Arkham Staff and said he'll go with Dr. Penelope Young to the Arkham Mansion in order to obtain her research notes. Inside the mansion however, Cash and Young were ambushed by Joker's thugs. Young fled and hid in her Office while Cash and fellow guard, Zach Franklin, held off the goons but were apprehended and interrogated of her whereabouts. Batman got into the room, defeating the thugs and then rescued the guards. Cash told Batman of her whereabouts, so the hero rushed to her office.

When Poison Ivy's Plants slowly attacked the Island, Aaron Cash alongside a group of Arkham security staff took cover in the Mansion. Batman went to them and asked for the whereabouts of Killer Croc's lair, Cash told him and explained that food was thrown in from time to time to Croc. 

Cash ultimately survived Joker's attack and returned to his post after Joker's defeat. In the end before returning to his post, he was examined by a doctor in the Medical Facility.

Batman: Arkham City[]

Aaron Cash led a team of an Arkham security guards that entered Arkham City to protect the medical volunteers. He, his team, and the volunteers were kidnapped by the Riddler to be placed in elaborate puzzles that were also death traps for both hostage and challenger, so the Riddler can prove himself superior to Batman if the vigilante couldn't solve them.

After besting all of the traps, Batman eventually tracks down the location of Riddler's lair, where the remaining hostages are forced to endlessly walk while bound to track system, and wearing explosive helmets that detonate if they stop. Cash periodically threatened Riddler to the latter's indifference.

Batman apprehended Riddler and disarmed the explosives. The freed hostages then force Riddler to walk along the track with an explosive helmet on his head, although it was deactivated, he wasn't aware of it.

Batman: Arkham Knight[]

Due to being involved with two major breakout incidents, and the dissolution of Arkham Asylum, Aaron Cash was left unemployed, but this was quickly rectified because he was able to return to his previous job of police officer thanks to Jim Gordon. He was in charge of deployment, as well as archiving evidence of supervillain equipment.
