Giovanni Luchese (Batman Arkham Origins)

First Appearance: Batman Arkham Origins

Giovanno Luchese was a high ranking member in the Black Mask's gang and served as Sionis' body double if their was ever any need for him to do so. He is 31 years old with a long history of warrants from the G.C.P.D for assaults both physical and with a weapon.

On Christmas Eve, Black Mask had Luchese present at Lacey Towers when he began feeling paranoid about someone tailing him. In the corridor outside, Sionis gives him a replace mask and tells him to go check out the safe house, while he goes around and gets in via the balacny (whether they were aware of Joker's presence was never specified) to get a drop on anyone if they are there.

The Joker knew that this was not the true Sionis and killed him instantly when he enters the safe house and catches sight of Tiffany Ambrose hanging from the chandelier. His death in enough of a distraction for Sionis to atack Joker. However Joker wins and before dragging Sionis off, covers up the murder with a molotov cocktail so that no DNA could be identified and make it look like the real Black Mask was dead.

A little while later Penguin visits Lacey Towers to gloat about a rival being eliminated, however is furious to discover that their was no pacemaker and realizing Sionis was still alive.

His body is discovered on Christmas Eve, with enough charing to destroy any evidence of identifying the body. However Batman identifies him after hacking into the National Criminal Database.
