Benny Montoya is the younger brother of GCPD detective Renee Montoya.
History
A captain and navy pilot in the 78th Fighter Squadron,[1] Benny was put on leave after an injury and was visiting his parents when the Quake hit Gotham City. In the aftermath, he began working with Two-Face to recover people trapped in his neighborhood. He fell out of contact with his parents, and after a few days, his sister tracked him down. She joined their efforts to keep an eye on Two-Face.[2]
He stayed in Gotham with his family when No Man's Land was declared. When Renee ended the Blue Boys' partnership with Two-Face on Commissioner Gordon's orders, he and his parents were abducted and held prisoner with Renee, whom Two-Face and Harvey had both fallen in love with. [3] He was released following the trial of Jim Gordon and had Christmas dinner with his family and Harvey Bullock.[4]
Following the repeal of No Man's Land, he went back to school.[5] He became a firefighter.[6]
When their parents were mailed a photo of Renee kissing her girlfriend Daria, he convinced them it was manipulated. He wanted Renee to stay in the closet, and they argued.[7] Later, Benny attended her arraignment when she was accused of killing Martin Lipari.[8]
He was trapped inside Gotham again under the Dome. He sat with his father in St. Luke's and was with him, his mother, and his sister when Hernando died of cancer.[9]
