The brother-sister tandem will be new villains that will be introduced in the upcoming season.

Silver St. Cloud is their niece and according to the EW report, St. Cloud will be introducing Wayne to heruncle. Both teenagers will be drawn to each other due to their shared experience of losing their parents at a young age. St. Cloud however, is described as a "friend" and "love interest" but she is also described as having “a heart beating with dark intent.”

It seems that St. Cloud and the Galavans will be a family of villains who will be wreaking havoc in Gotham City in season 2 of “Gotham.” They will be joining a cast of villains that already includes some iconic “Batman” characters like Penguin, The Riddler and Joker.
