Biography[]
Past[]
Although his past is unknown, Frank Boles was a hot tempered and arrogant man who was married and had children. At some point prior to the game, Frank got into an unspecified "spot of bother" but was saved by the Joker which put him in the maniac's debt although it wouldn't be cashed for several years.
Arkham Asylum[]
Frank ultimately finds himself embroiled in the Joker's latest scheme to rid Gotham of the Dark Knight, helping him break free upon entering Arkham Asylum right under the nose of Batman. Boles is also instructed to kidnap Commissioner Gordon, to whom he brings into the care of Harley Quinn. Using his knowledge of Boles' past, however, Batman is able to pick up traces of Boles' favourite tipple on the Arkham air and follows it in the hopes that it will lead him not only to Boles but to Gordon himself.
Batman tracks Boles through the Intensive Treatment Center, where Boles betrays William North and several other Arkham security guards, attempting to draw them away to the front entrance. As several of the guards move for the exit, Boles shopts them dead. With the help of Harley Quinn and an army of Blackgate Prisoners, Boles secures the front entrance of the Intensive Treatment Center. Unfortunately for him, the Joker has already recognised that Batman is tracking them through his alcohol and has no further use for the guard so has Harley murder him.
By the time Batman reaches the end of the trail at the entrance to Intensive Treatment, Frank has been strapped to a prisoner movement handcart with a green smile painted across his mouth and a sign reading "Dead End" chained around his waist.
