Penguin (Oswald Cobblepot)

Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, also known as Oswald Cobblepot, Penguin and Golden Horn Penguin, is one of the major characters from the DC Comics series.
== Charactah Account ==
Intelligent, rich and sophisticated; Oswald puts up a gentlemanly front but behind closed doors he is the angered, power hungry criminal known as The Penguin. He shows flashes of compassion sometimes but he is dominated by a desire to be respected and to control those around him.
Penguin conducts himself in a gentlemanly fashion, is almost always very polite (except when he's stuffing his face with fish), civil, and refined, prefers negotiation to bloodshed, can be very charming when he wants to be, has a (twisted) sense of honor, still has a heart and when he cares does so genuinely, is willing to work with Batman, and has helped pull said hero's ass out of the fire more than once.
Penguin is also a ruthless mob boss, responsible for much of the illegal trade in Gotham as well as a greedy, often amoral cold-blooded killer and if you happen to offend him, he will slit your throat with a razor sharp ferrule, and, as you lie on the floor choking on your own blood, the last thing you'll hear is him calling the florist to send condolence flowers to your widow. If you're lucky. Bruce has recently reluctantly admitted that a united criminal underworld in Cobblepot's control tends to be less dangerous for ordinary civilians. He's still scum (such as when he sold drugs to CHILDREN in the guise of popsicles) but there's worse people out there who would be more than happy to take his place if the situation to do so arose.

== Trivia ==
* The Cobblepots were one of Gotham City's oldest and most prestigious families, second only to the Waynes. The Pennyworths used to work for them, as mentioned in The Batman.
* The Penguin tried to go straight a few times, but eventually he always returns to his bad habits. He does manage to keep a low profile and stay out of prison most of the time. Although given the teasing situation in "Birds of a Feather", his anger was justified.
