"Sometimes I think that's why he put me in this costume in the first place. Not to protect his secret...but rather to protect his heart. I don't know. Maybe it even worked. At least, for HIM.

- Sasha's interior monologue from
Detective Comics #765

"The fact is...I love him. I don't think he knows. I don't think he cares."

-Sasha's Interior Monologue from
Batman the 10-Cent Adventure

Sasha Bordeaux was hired by the Board of Directors of Wayne Enterprises to be a Bodyguard to Bruce Wayne, after he was kidnapped by Hugo Strange shortly after the No Man's Land incident in Gotham. Despite Bruce's protests, Sasha was hired to guard him 24/7. It didn't take her long to figure out that her charge was Batman.

After lending help to the Bat during an investigation of mind-controlled cops, and leading to the capture of the Mad Hatter, Batman began to train Sasha in order for her to "do her job" as she insisted on. As Sasha says, she's his "Cover". Trained in the use of the Bo staff and having survived a harrowing first leap off a roof on a decel line, Sasha began to share in the nights of the Bat and the days of Bruce Wayne. She's lost one thing though, her heart, despite the absence of any indication that Bruce returns her feelings.

During the "Joker: Last Laugh" series, she set out on her own while Batman was busy with the situation at the Slab. Against direct orders from Bruce, she teamed up (albeit begrudgingly) with the Huntress to captured a Jokerized woman called Cucilla. She was in reality a plant in the Slab, and not a real criminal. All this while, no one save for Huntress and Batman are aware that he has a new sidekick running the rooftops.

Recently, over the course of the "Bruce Wayne: Murderer?" and "Bruce Wayne: Fugitive!" comics running through the Bat-Titles, Sasha has been arrested and is being held in Blackgate Prison pending trial as Bruce Wayne's accomplice in the murder of Vesper Fairchild. Her refusal to reveal where they really were, and why she is innocent, has kept her in prison, in spite of Bruce escaping himself. With recent event leading to Batman deciding to never again be Bruce Wayne, Sasha is left in limbo as even if she is acquitted, she is out of a job as his bodyguard.
