Richard Flag

"I said step away. I won't say it again."

Captain Richard Flag is a Federal Agent, who worked for the Department of Justice.

Arkham Origins Blackgate Incident
Flag and Amanda Waller staged a riot at Blackgate Prison, to cover up their true motive of releasing Bane from his cell. They hired Catwoman to do the job. When Batman appeared at the riots, their plans were thought to be ruined. However, they found two more eligible members for their Suicide Squad.

When Catwoman managed to release Bane from his cell, Batman stopped her, but Bane was still on the loose, though weakened. Flag and his men captured Bane and sent him back to Blackgate in an effort to hide their involvement in the riot. He then confronted Batman and Catwoman at the docks, thanked Batman for his assistance, and released Catwoman with an expunged record.

Flag was last seen on a chopper with Waller, Bronze Tiger, and Deadshot, leaving Blackgate.
