Arkham City Bio
Years ago, Michael Lane was part of a program to create the ultimate crime fighter. Instead, it turned him into an insane criminal.
Thwarted by Batman, Michael confessed his sins to a priest of the secret religious sect, the Order of Purity. They recruited Michael to fight evil as their crusader Azrael, wearing the mystical Suit of Sorrows and wielding the Sword of Sin.
If Michael does not keep his soul pure, the Suit of Sorrows will destroy him.

Additional Information
The Order of Purity is an unsanctioned offshoot of the Order of St. Dumas, that lacks the political or financial resources of the order proper. Jean-Paul Valley, was the last in a long line of warriors conditioned from the womb by the Order of St. Dumas to fight as their avenging angel, Azrael.
Michael Lane is the start of something new.
A former marine and police officer, Lane had a breakdown after the deaths of his son, wife and siblings came in quick succession. During this time of mental unease, Lane was drafted by the Order of Purity. The Order gave him two alchemical swords and the cursed Suit of Sorrows, which is said to gift advanced speed and strength, but drive an impure man mad from the weight of his sins.
Possible role in Arkham 3
Dark days are coming, Batman. The prophecy is coming true. You are the warrior who will close the gates of hell. You are the one who will save this day, and in doing so events will occur that you cannot stop. From the ashes of Arkham, the fires will rage and Gotham will burn. You will burn too.
There is no doubt that Azrael will be a key player in Arkham 3. A portent of doom and potential ally of the Bat in the fight to prevent it. With the maddening effects of the Suit of Sorrows and the dubious motives of the Order of Purity, however, will Azrael be an ally that Batman can trust?
