Splitting the League allows them to create an off-the-books team, while all the teams' leaders secretly coordinate their activities. None of the members of the various teams know, thus giving them plausible deniability in the event of any legal challenges.
  • Why did Roy change his name to "Will"?
 
As seen in "Private Security", he has mostly retired from the superhero business and is leading a civilian life. Since "Roy" is Arsenal's legal name, he needed his own civilian name.

Tara was kidnapped by her uncle who was running a meta-human trafficking syndicate. They activated her dormant Meta-Gene, then she was "rescued" by Deathstroke and joined the League of Shadows.

As revealed in "Triptych", Nightwing and Oracle are part of a secret group of seven Team and Justice League members that coordinate six teams of heroes.

He was most certainly referring to League of Shadows leader Deathstroke, who had trained Tara personally, as seen in "Antisocial Pathologies", and Gretchen Goode, who most likely ordered the hit on Jaqqar Marlo. Since both were members of the Light, he could be referring to all of them as well.

She tested hair samples from the brush in "Illusion of Control", and confirmed Halo was not a meta-human. This meant she no longer viewed Violet as her daughter.
 
In "Antisocial Pathologies", it is shown that Deathstroke "rescued" Tara from the Bedlam Syndicate who had abducted her, with Tara unaware the Syndicate and Deathstroke worked together. He trained her as part of the League of Shadows, then had her infiltrate the heroes.
