Hatching vain empires.

Title	Mayor

Physical Description
The years and the power have been kind to the Mayor of Gotham, and he could easily pass for a man of 40. Almost twenty years younger than he actually is. His hair is still full and dark and his figure only slightly paunchy from countless free lunches.

Personality
Venkman is a nasty and selfish man. His is supremely confidant in his power and makes sure everyone knows who’s in charge. Even around the general supernatural community he is assured and calm, knowing he is beyond their reach.

Story
The son of a Supermarket baron, Leonard Venkman was born to power and prestige. He grew up in a house full of staff and has never had to go hungry or break a sweat. He rose to the head of his fathers company after the old man retired and with the help of some mysterious bakers, took that company forward by leaps and bounds. A series of aggressive take-over meant that when he handed over the Company to his son, Peter, to enter the political arena, it was one of the strongest retail giants in America.
In his third Term of office, Venkman has created a climate that encourages free enterprise and trade while doing little for the underclasses of Gotham. A successful businessman himself, he sees Gotham’s future as one with the growth of the cities corporate structure.
