Bilal Asselah, a French-Algerian was raised by his single mother on the outskirts of Paris, France. Though peaceful, on Bilal's 16th birthday, he and his friend Aarif were caught in the middle of a French-Muslim protest, and beaten mercilessly by the police force. After they both healed, Aarif gave Bilal a gift including the music of Leni Urbana, an urban representative of the Muslim people in France, urging Bilal to listen to her words. That night Aarif was killed by police after he set fire to their station. After hearing of his friend's death, Bilal would forever be changed. He stated sympathizing with the protestors, but finding faults on both sides took a cue form Batman's origins and realized that by becoming a symbol, without skin color or religious bais he could make a difference for what's right and just. Already a superior parkour athlete he donned the mask of Nightrunner, in order to help the people's cause and bring justice to the Clichy.
