Origin
By chance Celia Kazantkakis was able to strike at Bruce Wayne and his alter ego Batman at the same time.  After a business scandal, Wayne stepped down as CEO of Wayne Enterprises and had Kazantkakis, who was a family friend of his mothers, appointed the new CEO.  Unknown to Wayne, Kazantkakis is the leader of the criminal organization known as the Network and planned to use this opportunity to loot the company.  At the same time she was plotting revenge again the Rossetti mafia family for the death of her former lover Lorenzo Rossetti, by recruiting their son to pretend to be a hero vigilante known as the Tracker, so that he could strike at the Rossettis.

To perpetuate the illusion that Tracker was a hero, he mocked a battle with the Network agent know as the Suicide King, who was pretending to work for the Rossettis.  When Batman intervenes Tracker accidentally falls to his death.  Blaming Batman for the death of her son, Kazantkakis plots to destroy his relationship with the other heroes of Gotham using the guise of Athena.
