Bane Lore & Background Story
Bane was manifested from the goddess Nyctasha's dark dreams — a living nightmare given form. He feeds on terror and uses the subconscious fears of his victims as weapons. His dominion over sleep and dread mirrors the eternal darkness that Night Stalker craves — both are creatures of the night, though Bane hunts the mind while Night Stalker hunts the flesh.
