"Grayson" - Nightwing

The son of Amelia Crowne and William Cobb, his true parentage was concealed by Burton Crowne, who forcibly ended the couple’s relationship due to class prejudice against Cobb and arranged for Amelia to marry her second cousin.

Originally raised as a Crowne, the boy was later kidnapped by Cobb during his first year as a Talon for the Court of Owls. In gratitude for the Court’s patronage, Cobb pledged his bloodline to them. The child was given to Cobb’s friend Nathaniel and raised in Haly’s Circus, where he was groomed to follow in his father’s footsteps.

To honour his descent from Gotham’s Gray Sons, he was given the surname Grayson.
