## Personality

Wesker is often shy and would rather to end his life of crime and take vacation,but due to a mental disorder,he has a case of split personality,with Scarface being the darkest aspect. Scarface is bossy and rude,and he does not like being called a dummy. If anything,he calls Wesker the dummy.

## History

Wesker initially began his career in the Cockamamie Junction TV show as a ventriloquist for multiple dummies,but after the show was cancelled,Wesker went to create his own show with new dummies,one of which was Scarface. The show did not do well and was cancelled. He then developed a case of severe split personality. When ventriloquist Arnold Wesker and his friend "Scarface" were booed off-stage one night, Wesker returned with Scarface later that night to rob the entire audience. Turning to a life of crime ever since, everyone knew that without Arnold Wesker, there was no Scarface...the only problem was, Arnold didn't know that. Believing that Scarface was the true "puppeteer" and he was the "dummy", Arnold did whatever Scarface "told" him to do; this ranged from jewel heists to big-time robberies.

When it came time to begin their crime spree in Gotham, the Ventriloquist hired two thugs, Mugsy and Rhino, to help them with the heavy lifting. They immediately began collecting materials for a large Scarface robot. Scarface was injured in one confrontation with the Batman, and Wesker was ordered by the puppet to finish their plans. He did as he was commanded and finished constructing the giant, bank robbing robot. When they attempted to use the robot, with Scarface installed as the "pilot", they were again confronted by the Batman. When they were defeated, the inert robot with Scarface still inside was left on a set of train tracks where it was hit by a train and demolished. With his puppet seemingly destroyed and no one to lead him, Wesker surrendered and was taken to Arkham Asylum. As for Scarface,all that survived the collision was the Scarface robot's head that was put on display in the Batcave.

Later, after somehow escaping Arkham and regaining Scarface, he was again captured by the Batman. Returned to Arkham, he attempted to rehabilitate himself and was eventually separated again from Scarface. Hugo Strange took personal care to rehabilitate Wesker. Released from the Asylum, he renewed his career as an entertainer using a new puppet called Mr. Snoots. Despite the certification, Batman continued to watch over Wesker, not fully convinced of his rehabilitation. This led Bruce Wayne to ask his psychologist, Hugo Strange, if he really was rehabilitated. With Strange's blessing, Bruce was convinced, and hired Arnold to entertain the opening of a new children's museum, which also had an assortment of priceless sports memorabilia for a silent auction. Hugo decided to test Arnold's resolve and placed Scarface in Arnold's apartment, giving the appearance he had attacked Mr. Snoots. The Ventriloquist and Scarface resurfaced and attempted to pull Wesker back to a life of crime by stealing from the museum. Being that Bruce was attending the event, he was able to appear as Batman in record timing. Because of his arrival, Scarface was convinced of a rat in the organization. Upon rendezvousing in their hideout, Wesker's old studio, Scarface came under the conclusion that Arnold was the rat, and decided to have him killed: by running him over with Choo-choo Chuckie, one of the props from the show. Batman arrived and decided to use Wesker's multiple personalities to his advantage by saying Mr. Snoots was the rat, tossing the puppet to Arnold. This culminated in a "fight" between the puppets with both being destroyed and Wesker saved by the Batman. Arnold cried for one of the puppets, with Batman commenting if he was referring to Mr. Snoots, there was hope for Arnold. Arnold was then sent to Arkham again.

The Ventriloquist then made a cameo appearance in the movie *The Batman vs. Dracula*, at the beginning, as an Arkham Asylum patient.

Later they were both captured by Rumor,but Scarface was seprated from the Ventrlioquist. Once freed they both got arrested along with the other villains.

They last appear as along with Joker, Penguin and Killer Croc stealing money with protection from Wrath and Scorn. After both the cops and the Dynamic Duo arrived,Wesker and Scarface escaped in a ship.

 Trivia

* *The Batman* makes a major departure for the character in that Scarface, rather than resembling a 1920s gangster, resembles Tony Montana from the film *Scarface*.
* Unlike his comic counterpart, Scarface can pronounce the letter "B."
* In *A Fistful of Felt*,when Wesker gets tied up,a careful observer can see little of what his eyes are like behind the glasses.
* Concept art depicted them having their roles switched,with a giant Scarface holding Wesker. This idea ended up being used for the plot of *The Big Dummy.*
