Overview[]
Fish Mooney was a business owner and an underboss of Gotham City crime lord Carmine Falcone. She operated a night club in the Theater District of Gotham, which was also a front for various criminal enterprises. Fish's employees included her loyal lieutenant Butch Gilzean, and her "umbrella boy", Oswald Cobblepot, whom she gave the uncomplimentary nickname of Penguin. Fish was a hard-driven and ambitious woman, who secretly plotted to take Carmine Falcone down and take his place as the ruler of the Gotham mobs.
