Chechen (Earth-9422)

"I put word out. We hire the clown!"

- - The Chechen The Chechen was a powerful crime lord based in New York City specialized on drug trafficking who started a truce alongside Sal Maroni and Gambol to destroy Batman, allying themselves with the Joker. This proved fatal, however, as the Joker took control of them all and had the Chechen's own dogs eat him alive.

Early Life
The Chechen was born in Checnya, Russia, to parents he deemed were ignorant and poor. As a child and teenager he witnessed many atrocities.

New York Takeover
Following his arrival at New York City, the Chechen saw the benefit to start his own illegal operations in the form of drug trafficking, but never had the change to develop properly duo to the power presented by Carmine Falcone and his Roman Empire. The Chechen would then rise with the downfall of Falcone and his crime syndicate at the hands of the vigilante known as Batman. He would then become a participant on the gang wars in New York, following a mutual beneficial friendship with Salvatore "Sal' Maroni, eating in luxurious restaurants and discussing dealings with him.

Ambush at Eastman Parking
"Look at what your drugs did to my customers. Buyer beware. I told you my compound would take you places. I never said they'd be places you wanted to go. My business... repeat customers..."

- - The Chechen and Scarecrow Using of the end of Falcone's weapons and drug shipment, the Chechen became the main figure of the traffick, but duo to Batman's attacks on his territory, he crafted a desperate allegiance with Scarecrow to supply him powerful and newer drugs, calling the criminal upon to a reunion at the Eastman Parking in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan after discovering the true nature of the drugs Scarecrow had been suppying.

Upon arriving at the parking, the Chechen was greeted by the Scarecrow, whom he questions duo to the effects of the Fear Toxin on his costumers, as he threatened with three Rottweiler attack dogs and numerous henchmen at his side. As Scarecrow remembered to the Chechen he was the last remaining drug supplier in the whole city following Batman's actions against organized crime, both factions were taken by surprise by numerous armed Batman cosplayers, led by Brian Douglas.

When the real Batman appeared and took out both Scarecrow's men and the cosplayers, the Chechen and some of his henchmen managed to escape from the Batmobile, which was targeting Scarecrow in a escape van.

Mob Reunion
"As you're all aware one of our deposits were stolen. It was a relatively small amount sixty million dollars. Who's stupid enough to steal from us?"
