Chandell
Bio
Years ago, Chandell became famous after he played a concert at the White House, marvelling the world with his skill at the piano. What nobody knew was that just before the concert, he had hurt his fingers in his piano lid, and had to resort to using a mechanical player piano to save face. The only person who knew was his twin brother Harry, who at the time ran a piano roll factory and supplied Chandell with the roll he needed.
Since then, Harry has been blackmailing Chandell into committing crimes and giving him almost all of the loot. A true criminal genius, Chandell has never even been suspected of being anything more than a musical genius.

Nicknames

Nasty piano movers- Harry's sinister but silent henchmen.
Hideouts
To some people villainy is a job; but, unlike the rest of the law-abiding citizens of Gotham
City, villains do not work in an office, factory, or from their own homes. They must establish
a 'hideout' from which they can organize and orchestrate their evil deeds.
