Edward Nigma, the Riddler, is a man who delights in the setting up of a crime, and in forewarning the police (and Batman) of his upcoming capers. These warnings are always sent in the form of a riddle. The Riddler discovered how fun and challenging puzzers were when he was a young boy (he cheated on a puzzle in school to win a prize), and he gradually turned to crime as he got older. The Riddler often has two female assistants that help him, Quiz and Query.
The Riddler was injected with Venom by Bane prior to the Knightfall storyline, and proved to be a worthy opponent for Batman in a fight (for once).
The Riddler recently escaped from New Arkham Asylum and set up the Cluemaster with a bomb, in an attempt to get even for the Cluemaster using the Riddler's modus operandi.
