Every day I found the patients more distracting. Their insane mutterings and constant twitching disgusted me. There was only one way to cure this evil, only one way to purify the city and ensure its future. I needed to prepare myself. I needed to be ready.
~ Sharp in one of his Arkham records.

Quincy Sharp is a supporting character in the Batman: Arkham franchise.

He is the former warden of Arkham Asylum, who later becomes the mayor of Gotham City. He is also revealed to have been secretly manipulated by Hugo Strange, who was also serving Ra's al Ghul, into building and opening up Arkham City, the supermax prison that would be embedded on the abandoned Old Gotham area.

He was voiced by Tom Kane, who also voiced Boba Fett and Bib Fortuna in Star Wars: Demolition, HIM in The Powerpuff Girls, Monkey Fist in Kim Possible, Magneto in Wolverine and the X-Men, Ultron in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and Judge Hotah in The Legend of Korra.

Biography[]

Past[]

Coming from a wealthy and influential family, Quincy Sharp attempted to enter the army but was rejected from the academy due to not being strong enough. Instead, he became a politician who wanted to become mayor and cleanse Gotham of its criminals. Sometime before Christmas Eve, he became an active speaker for re-opening Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane (which had been shut down sometime before due to not meeting modern safety standards) to keep all mentally ill criminals who had been kept in facilities like Blackgate in the meantime.

Batman: Arkham Origins[]

Although he does not appear in person, Quincy Sharp is later revealed to have been approached by Lady Shiva with a proposal. In exchange for obeying a mysterious organisation's orders, they can make him become mayor and give him the legacy of killing all criminals in Gotham which Sharp happily accepts. Later, after the Joker's Christmas rampage and capture, Quincy Sharp's voice can be heard on the radio being interviewed by Jack Ryder during a debate over the revelations of the Batman being real and what it means for Gotham. Using the night's chaos and the multiple prison breaks from Blackgate Prison as justification, Sharp announces the imminent renovation and re-opening of Arkham Asylum as the Joker has given him the leverage he needed to lobby the city council.

Pre-Arkham Asylum[]

Due to his lobbying, and likely due to the League of Assassins' influence, Warden Sharp becomes Warden of Arkham Asylum and instates Doctor Hugo Strange as the head doctor. Although he allows the Doctor to secretly perform multiple inhumane experiment, Strange uses hypnosis and manipulation on Sharp himself. In doing so, he implants the idea that Sharp is a serial killer named the Spirit of Arkham; the supposed reincarnation of Amadeus Arkham himself and an implant to hang himself if caught. In secret, Quincy Sharp kills patients via overdose and records his lunacy in large slabs around the prison called the Chronicles of Arkham.

Batman: Arkham Asylum[]

When Batman arrests the Joker after he attacks the Mayor, Sharp escorts him to Intensive Treatment and She then carries him around the prison and strikes him with his own cane after the death of Dr. Penelope Young before imprisoning him behind a forcefield in the Penitentiary's Control Room although he is later rescued by Batman. Although Batman orders him to stay put because it's safe, when he later returns to solve one of the Riddler's puzzles, he finds Sharp gone and Clayface notes that he left in a hurry.

Pre-Arkham City[]

During the Joker's takeover of Arkham Asylum, the Asylum was destroyed by his Gang and Poison Ivy's plants so Quincy Sharp runs for Mayor. By promising to keep the criminals safely away from Gothamites forever, and the League of Assassins' influence, he becomes Mayor and closes off Old Gotham behind walls to create a supermax prison named Arkham City. Due to planning to slaughter all criminals in Protocol 10 though, neither the GCPD nor the Arkham Guards guard the prison and instead the Guards are an army of brainwashed former inmates called TYGER with Dr. Hugo Strange as the group's leader.

Batman: Arkham City[]

On the night of Protocol 10, Mayor Quincy Sharp is repeatedly mentioned on the news as celebrating his accomplishment. However, only three hours before Protocol 10, Mayor Sharp is suddenly grabbed by TYGER when they storm City Hall and thrown into the prison because he has outlived his useless and is now a liability. A very confused Sharp is then confronted and almost killed by inmates angry over their imprisonment although he is saved by Batman whilst he is on his way back to Mr. Freeze to create a cure for the TITAN Disease. However, Batman then holds him off a roof and demands answers from Sharp who explains his legacy of killing all criminals in Gotham so Batman abandons him on the rooftop in disgrace. Quincy Sharp finds somewhere safe to hide soon after so he survives Protocol Ten and is arrested when the GCPD storm and shut down Arkham City. Although the crimes of Hugo Strange and TYGER force the police to release all of the criminals, Sharp is kept in prison as the only living conspirator as Strange and Ras' Al Ghul are dead and TYGER was entirely composed of brainwashed inmates.

After Arkham City[]

Sometime after the shutdown of Arkham City, Quincy Sharp goes to trial although whether they sought the death penalty is unclear. During the trial, it is revealed that, despite his predicament, Quincy Sharp holds no bias against the man who manipulated him, Professor Hugo Strange. Even going as far to defend him on trial. Quincy comes to the conclusion that he is actually willing to trade his own freedom for a major position of authority. Within his prison cell, Sharp begins to long of some guidance from Strange before he is suddenly confronted by the professor himself. Strange tells Sharp that he was the product of a post-hypnotic suggestion planted in Quincy's mind and had one last task for Sharp to perform. It is then revealed that he was instructed to hang himself in his cell and he later does so due to not being on suicide watch.

Quotes[]

Arkham Origins[]

No, it's not an interesting point. It's just plain wrong. They're both wrong. This isn't about the police or the Bat-Man. It isn't about the state of our nation somehow churning out a dangerous new batch of the criminally-deranged. It's about the failing of one, single institution. An institution which -in my view- represents the biggest threat to Gotham and its citizens. A time bomb just waiting to go off.
~ Quincy Sharp during an interview during the end credits after Jack Ryder called his opponent's point interesting. Also his first words in the series chronologically
If tonight's events have taught us anything, it's that Blackgate is not the place to be housing our city's most dangerous offenders. Not one but two prison breaks in the same night. All of tonight's tragedies would have been avoid if Gotham had a proper treatment for it's top echelon offenders. A place for impenetrable security - where the most dangerous offenders could be isolated, rehabilitated and treated for thier illness. A place like Arkham Asylum. And after what happened tonight, I promise the good people of Gotham that I will work tirelessly. I will lobby the city council -go to the governor if I have to- do everything in my power to get Arkham Asylum reopened. So we can all sleep a little easier.
~ Quincy Sharp announcing his plans to reopen Arkham Asylum.

Arkham Asylum[]

That's WARDEN Sharp to you. Boles.
~ Warden Quincy Sharp when Joker mockingly greeted him and his first words in the series.
I hope it's enough Officer North for your sake.
~ Quincy Sharp after William North mentions that security is at it's highest.
Curing him will cement my reputation. Inform Dr. Young her patient is here.
~ Quincy Sharp talking about Joker
Thank you Batman rehabilitating can help add my.... I mean our reputation.
~ Quincy Sharp

Arkham City[]

What are you waiting for? Cut me free!
~ Quincy Sharp angrily demanding for Batman to rescue him.
