Your wizard and Captain Pork are searching for Mellori. You discover Bat has her. Entering the cave you hear Mellori being tortured by Bat as he tries to remove her Luminiferous Essence.
Grandfather Spider thinks Bat is taking too long with Mellori and has sent Medulla to take her back. Medulla has brought Baane and some prawns as backup. After you defeat Baane, he is ammenable to giving what information he has.
He doesn’t know why he keeps working for Medulla. He’s not an enforcer, he’s a thinker. He has plans!
Bane is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by writer Chuck Dixon and artist Graham Nolan, he made his debut in Batman: on Vengeance of Bane #1 (January 1993). Bane is usually depicted as a dangerous adversary of the superhero Batman, and belongs to the collective of enemies that make up Batman’s rogues gallery. Possessing a mix of brute strength and exceptional intelligence, Bane is often credited as the only villain to have “broken the bat”, defeating him both physically and mentally. Bane went on to kill Alfred Pennyworth in 2019 during the City of Bane storyline.
Robert Swenson portrayed Bane in the 1997 film Batman & Robin, while Tom Hardy played him in the 2012 film The Dark Knight Rises. Bane was also played by Shane West in the final season of the FOX television series Gotham. IGN’s list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time ranked Bane as #34.

Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan created the character for the Knightfall storyline. They developed the concept of Bane after an initial idea by Batman editor Dennis O’Neil. O’Neil had previously created Bane’s birthplace of Santa Prisca in The Question and the drug Venom in the storyline of the same name (published in the pages of Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #16–20).
