Hugo Strange

Professor Hugo Strange was the resident psychiatrist at Belle Reve Penitentiary, and apparently Amanda Waller’s second-in-command. Currently, he’s Belle Reve's new acting warden.

Personality
Being an experienced psychiatrist, Hugo Strange is a cunning analyst of the human psyche. He chooses his words carefully and manages to manipulate people around him without them even knowing it.

Physical appearance
Strange is a Caucasian, bald, dark brown-eyed male with a lanky body. He sports a gray beard and wears small, round glasses with tinted lenses. He dons a black turtleneck sweater and a gray suit.

History
Strange posed as a well-intentioned healer for criminals, but he had his own agenda. He orchestrated a breakout together with Icicle Sr. at the behest of the Light. Strange played a crucial role in smuggling the cold resistant technology for the convicts. When they took over the prison, Strange was incarcerated together with Waller and the prison guards.

When Brick came up to Waller, threatening to kill her, Strange dissuaded him stating that Waller as a hostage is far more valuable then Waller as a corpse. Later, when the cons lost control of the prison, Icicle Sr. went after Waller and Strange jumped at him, knocking him out. The escape ultimately failed, but Waller was ousted from her job anyway.

Strange was named the new warden. In his new office, Strange and Icicle Sr. exchanged pleasantries after a successful coup, and Strange remarked that the Light would be pleased.

Strange allowed the Team to interrogate Professor Ivo, though he monitored the questioning closely, without them knowing. He was displeased when Ivo revealed T.O. Morrow's whereabouts. He allowed Ivo to warn Morrow—from this office—that the Team was heading his way.
