A notorious mob boss, Tony Zucco's (bn. 1960) business mainly revolved around running a protection racket for all of Gotham's local businesses, whether they were permanent fixtures or not.
Among those he tried to extort was Haly's International Traveling Circus, demanding that Jack Haly pay them a fee to operate in Gotham. When the ringmaster refused, Zucco made an example of the circus, sabotaging the trapeze for their headline act, The Flying Graysons and killing all but two of their members on April 1st, 2006; Richard "Rick" Grayson and his nephew, Richard "Dick" Grayson.
When the costumed vigilante Robin (Dick Grayson) debuted as Batman's sidekick, Zucco was one of his earliest victories, shutting down his operation once and for all and avenging his family.
