Profile

Hammerhead is a new crimelord climbing up the ranks of the NYC underworld. He is already well-known in the Underworld for two reasons, his affinity for 1920s gangsters and, more shockingly, his grotesque, flat head. His skull, which is laced with a strong steel-alloy, was the result of a life-saving surgery by Dr.Jonas Harrow, which saved Hammerhead's life, at the coast of deforming his head. After jumping between mob families as a enforcer for years, Hammerhead has decided to go into business for himself and won't let anything get in his way to his rise to the top.

History
The man who would one day be known as Hammerhead was born in Russia under the name of Joseph. At a early age, his family moved to NYC and settled down in Little Italy, Manhatten thanks to the help of a mysterious man calling himself The General. Growing up in Little Italy caused Joseph to pick up words in Italian, infuriating his mechanic Father, who insisted his son speak only Russian while in the house, and would brutally beat him with a mallet if he dared disobyed him. In school, Joseph would claim to be Italian in order to fit in with his classmates. The truth however, would soon be exposed by a local bully named Rico, whose Father was a low-level mob guy. On the day this happened, not only did Rico humiliate him in front of the whole school by revealing his Russian roots, but pulled the hat off of his head, revealing the hideious scars on his head from where his Father beat him. This incident whould cause Joseph to vow to one day kill Rico, something he would do a decade later.

When Joseph was 16, He dropped out of school due to failing grades and general apathy and started to commit acts of deliqueincy around his neighborhood, eventually getting involved with a local street gang called The Warlockz. His time with the Warlockz made Joseph into the tough, violent street-brawler he is today, mostly due to the gang's almost endless brawls with their SoHo based rivals The Tornadoes. The Warlockz also gave him the experience he would later need to operate a gang of his own. When Joseph was 21, He finally found an opportunity to fulfill his decade old vendetta against Rico. One day, Joseph somehow managed to steal his Father's handgun and followed Rico and his girlfriend to a local theater replaying The Godfather Part II. The second the theatre went dark to play the movie, Joseph pulled out his pistol and shot both Rico and his Girlfriend in the head, killing them instantly. The second he committed the horrible deed, Joseph immediatley fled from the theatre before anyone could see his face, not knowing his face was already seen by a Maggia hitman by the name of Vito Calaberi.

Vito, who was impressed by the young man's effective killing skills, managed to track him down and offered him an opportunity to be inducted into The Maggia. Joseph jumped at the opportunity and used his phoney Italian accent, which became more and more conviencing over the years due to practice, and managed to trick Vito and future Maggia into thinking He was Italian. Joseph went through a series of initiations in order to get into the Maggia, the final of which was killing his own Father, Which Joseph did gleefully with a bigger hammer than the one his Father used to beat him. After being formally inducted into the Maggia, Joseph became a Junior Hitman for the syndicate and killed 5 people, mostly other mobsters. One day, he ended up in a brawl with a rival mob and was beaten down, his skull being shattered in the process. As he was laying there dying in a filthy alley, the final thing He saw before being unconcious was a movie poster with the title of The Al Capone Mob.

Luckily for Joseph, He was happened upon by Dr. Jonas Harrow, a disgraced surgeon who lost his liscense to practice medicine due to immoral experimentation upon his own patients. Harrow, seeing a opportunity to redeem his once good reputation, took the beathen and battered young man and immediatley began life-saving surgery on him. After three days of surgery, Harrow managed to save Joseph's life, repairing his shattered skull with a unknown metal. Once the anesthesia wore off, Hoseph woke and found that he could not remember anything about his past, including his own name. The final thing he remembered before being beatne down was the Al Capone movie poster and it made an impression on him. This lone memory caused Joseph to reinvent himself as a 1920s type gangster named Hammerhead,looks and and mannerisms included.

He is currently the head of his own "mob", hopeing one day to take control of NYC's Underworld.

Personality
The first thing people note about Hammerhead upon meeting him is his violent temper. He is easily offended and gets angered quite easily, often responding in violence. Despite his temper, most of the time, Hammerhead is collected, down-to-business type of man who gives blunt, straight-to-the- point answers to questions and often tries to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible. He is widely known for his sadistic streak, often insisting he watch while his men tortue or kill his rivals, sometimes making jokes about it. He can sometimes be a sweet-talker, often convincing people to do tasks for him.

Due to his whole lifestyle stemming from 20s gangsters, Hammerhead follows a sort of honor code that does not allow him to hit "dames or little ones". He has also been onserved at times to have soft=spots for animals; being seen brutalizing one of his own men for kicking a dog near him. Finally, Hammerhead is ambitious and is willing to do anything to get ahead, no matter who or what gets in his way.

Abilities

Above Average
Due to a rigorous fitness regime and his tough upbringing, Hammerhead has strength above that of a normal human. While not super-strong like Luke Cage or Superman, Hammerhead's strength aids him in his ability to break through walls, allows him to pack a more heavy punch while fighting, and helps him lift up to 500 pounds. His strength also helps him take blows that would knock out an average man.
Hard Head

Hammerhead's main ability is his namesake, his abnormally hard head. Thanks to a life-saving surgery by Dr.Jonas Harrow, Hammerhead is able to use his head as a ram to break through brick walls up to four inches without damaging himself and is able to take a high-calibre bullet without it penatrating. He can also use his head as a weapon in the form of either a head-butt or more notoriously, by just barreling into his foes head-first.

These accounts are scattered in various banks in both Switzerland and the Cayman Islands and are undr many different alias to keep them from being traced.
Diamonds
Hammerhead has recently gotten into the diamond smuggling field. Prefering not to get heat on himself by buying blood diamonds, Hammerhead reached a deal with a corrupt executive of a South African mining corp. The deal has the executive arrange a "robbery" of a small amount of uncut diamonds from company mines and allows Hammerhead's men to smuggle them back to the U.S and chisel them down. Hammerhead then sells the newly chiseled diamonds at underground "stores" across NYC
Drugs
One of Hammerhead's main incomes is from drugs.

Henchmen
Hammerhead would be nothing without his henchmen. Themed off of 1920s and 30s gangsters, Hammerhead's men are completley loyal to their boss. Hammerhead himself is often flanked by three loyal and well-trusted Henchmen he calls his "squad". He has 220 henchmen scattered throughout all five boroughs of NYC and he can them all to one location with only one phone call. Though, fathering all his men in one place does time.
Hideouts
