Tobias Whale

Character History
Tobias Whale is a massive African American albino crime lord and frequent foe of the superhero Black Lightning. As a play on his name and white whale-like appearance, Tobias frequently makes use of a handheld harpoon as his signature weapon. A former agent of the Metropolis crime organization, the 100, Whale's drug trafficking and murder of a local student led to Jefferson Pierce's debut as Black Lightning.

In recent years, Whale has relocated to Gotham City and become a player in the criminal underworld. Attempting to become boss of bosses following the death of the Black Mask, he has siezed control of the Galante and Odessa crime families and engaged in a gang war with Intergang. His operations have also put him in conflict with the Penguin. During Gotham Underground, Ventriloquist II, along with Lock-Up, Firefly, and Killer Moth are told by the Scarecrow that Penguin is working for the Suicide Squad. They go attack him, but end up meeting a team of criminals working for the Penguin. While they try to escape they are brought to a dead end by Scarecrow. Scarface is shot by Tobias Whale's gang, but Tobias let Peyton live, although he informs one of the men escorting her that she is to be "Hurt". Lock-Up and Killer Moth end up critically injured during this encounter with Whale. Eventually, Intergang buys out Tobias Whale and make him the CEO of Kord Enterprises, which has become a front for Intergang's criminal activities.
