Bio: An old-time mob boss of Gotham City, Valestra was head of the Valestra Mob, a gang consisting of Buzz Bronski, Chuckie Sol, Carl Beaumont and Jack Napier.

When Carl Beaumont was unable to find the money he needed to pay off Valestra, he and his daughter, Andrea fled the country. This was no good in the end, as the mob found their new home and sent Napier to kill Carl Beaumonth.
