Thomas Schiff

Thomas Schiff was a schizophrentic inmate of Arkham Asylum.

History
After his release by Ra's al Ghul, Schiff came under the "employment" of the Joker. The Joker used Schiff as a calling card in his scheme to harm Rachel Dawes and Harvey Dent. Harvey kidnapped Thomas and threatened to shoot him if Schiff wouldn't give up what was going to happen to Rachel.

Batman interceded, fully believing that Dent may kill Schiff if he flipped a coin in favor of it. Batman didn't realize the coin was a misprint, and had two head sides. Dent used it only to scare a confession from Schiff, but wasn't planning to actually murder him. Batman informed Harvey that Thomas was a schizophrentic, and probably couldn't reveal anything. As Batman left Harvey shouted "You can't give in".
