History

In the 1940s, Donnelly Ferguson played the role of the Scarlet Snake, a cunning mobster who controlled half of Astro City's underworld activities. He eventually "retired" and somehow lost the bulk of his wealth. Ferguson then became a crime broker. Based in Kiefer Square, he specialized in arranging "jobs" between black masks(super-villains) and those that neededtheir special services. He was also active in other illegal activities, trading caches of illegal, knock-off goods to hoodlums in the Sweatshop area.

When black masks from the Kiefer Square neighborhood were being serially murdered by a mysterious killer, Ferguson helped arrange for Steeljack to investigate these deaths. He also raided his personal warehouses for high-tech blasters which he distributed to the residents of the Keifer Square so they could defend a slightly inept but scientifically clever villain called the Mock Turtle. He was being pursued by the Chessmen, a group of thugs from England.
