Lady Shiva (Arkhamverse)

Lady Shiva is one of the antagonists and assassin in Batman: Arkham Origins.

The Eight Assassins
At some point before the events of Arkham Origins, Shiva came into contact with Quincy Sharp and was able to convince him to reopen the old Gotham City mental hospital and claimed that in exchange her master could help him achieve his goals in becoming Mayor of Gotham City. With Sharp unaware, Shiva was secretly manipulating him into becoming the perfect pawn for Ra's al Ghul and Hugo Strange (Arkhamverse) in their ultimate goal to eliminate any and all crime and corruption in Gotham for good.

Shiva also came into contact with one of the other assassins after Batman; Bane, who was immediately suspicious of her. Wanting to discover here true reasons for being in Gotham, Bane captured her and brought the assassin to his lair where he attempted to threaten her for information. Shiva, not fearing Bane at all, turned the tables on her captor revealing inside information on the TN-1 fomula. Angry and scared his plans could be in risk, Bane demands on how she knows of this and Shiva says her master has a great deal of knowledge. Realizing who her master is, Bane demands to know what his planning, only for her to threaten and warn him to not interfere but escaping to reunite with her Squadron of Ninja.

Shiva, alongside Bane, Deadshot , Firefly , Electrocutioner , Deathstroke, and Killer Croc , are hired by Black Mask (Joker) to kill Batman for $50 Million on Christmas Eve. She is seen in the video feed where she is surrounded by thugs, only to kill them all with her combat skills and then received the invitation from a cowardly mobster who then flees from her. While taking up the hunt alomgside the other assassins, knowing that that her master was interested in the target, instead opts to test the masked vigitante's mantle; intending to pick up the reward as a consolation prize if he fails the test.

In order to lure Batman by using an abandoned baby carriage and a recording of a crying baby, Shiva instructs Batman to find and save an innoncent man before he dies in the Burley District. While Shiva used Ninjas to further test his abilities, Batman was able to save the innocent Police Officer that Shiva had captured, and then tracked down a body of a deceased police officer who Shiva killed for being corrupter.

While disappointed that Batman refused to agreed that Gothan City needed to be purged instead of rehabilitated, Shiva instructed to him to go to Wonder Tower in the Sheldon Park to finish the test; Batman surviving the trail and besting the Ninja, Shiva allowed her opponent to live; withdrawing herself from the hunt and said Batman is as good as Ra's claimed. Batman attempts to arrest Lady Shiva but she vanishes, with Batman knowing this isn't the last he has seen of her. Before she leaves, she hints that she is working on behalf of a higher authority.
