Thief

Biography
In 2016 an unknown man conducted an armed robbery of a jewelry store, using a motorcycle and a submachine gun. Easily evading the police he was chased by The Flash, who used his speed to outrun the bullets and then taking apart criminal's motorcycle part-by-part. As the motorcycle stopped, criminal found himself helplessly listening to Allen, as the latter retrieved stolen jewelry, as well as bullets from the gun and left him for the police.

After man was arrested, Barry Allen jokingly suggested to Cisco Ramon to coin a nickname for the criminal, to which Ramon harshly replied that they should call him "Thief" which made it obvious to Allen that Ramon had dramatically changed following Flashpoint.

Personality
While showing to have some skill in what he does, Thief was also shown to be a very nervous man, panicking as The Flash arrived and being unable to do anything effective.

Behind the scenes

 * In DC Comics there is a character known only as [w:c:dc:The Thief (New Earth) The Thief], who, while primarily being a Catwoman foe (working alongside Noah Kuttler) shares a big number of similarities with his television counterpart, including a similar appearance (headwear, simple firearms, backpack and a shoulder rig) and the fact that he's a new criminal in town who clashes with a Meta-human (also in this case Gotham City and Catwoman respectively), although, ironically, Catwoman he fought used motorcycle much more prominently.
