"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. 

Nathaniel - Nightwing

A friend of William Cobb, Nathaniel was a member of the Court of Owls. Recognising Cobb’s potential, he offered him a chance to prove himself as a Talon.

After Cobb kidnapped his infant son, Nathaniel took the child and, on Cobb's behalf, arranged for him to be raised by Haly’s Circus, declaring him the first of Gotham’s Gray Sons—a chosen bloodline destined to rule the city among the elite who had once betrayed him.
