Glasses is Tony Dracon's consigliere and second-in-command; one could almost describe him as being to Dracon what Owen is to Xanatos.
History
Glasses has known Tony since their early teens. [1] By the time they were in their twenties, Dracon was the youngest major "wise guy" in New York City. Glasses serves as his right hand man.
When Dracon stole a shipment of particle beam weapons from Xanatos Enterprises, Glasses sold at least thirty-seven of them on the streets to cover expenses while Dracon was preparing to sell them back to Owen Burnett. While doing this, he was attacked by Broadway who demanded to know who he was working for. ("Deadly Force") After Dracon was released on bail, Glasses assisted him in his criminal enterprises, including searching for seventy-year-old stolen jewels under the Silver Falcon and blowing up Art and Lois's restaurant when they refused to pay into Dracon's protection racket. ("The Silver Falcon", "Protection")
When Dracon was sent to prison, Glasses ran his operations on the streets, including his chop shop and fought in a turf war against Tomas Brod and his Czech mob. Glasses was arrested after the turf war decimated both sides. ("Turf") He did not stay locked up long, and Glasses along with what was left of Dracon's men were still fighting Brod's people into May 1997. ("A Little Crazy")
With Dino Dracon and Pal Joey, he participated in the kidnapping of Rosaria Sanchez and Peter Choy, a young couple related to two rival crime families. He then participated in firebombing Felice's Meats, hoping to take out Grisha Volkov with an explosive Dino devised to throw blame onto Jack Dane. Under Dino's orders, he and Pal Joey then laid siege to Slaughter Films with stolen, remote-controlled cybots. Despite their efforts to eliminate the final gang rival, Izaak Slaughter, they were thwarted by the arrival of Broadway and Lexington. ("Tale Old as Time", "Underwater", "Everywhere")
Characteristics
Glasses calmly and coolly helps Dracon direct his various criminal schemes in New York.
Greg Weisman has stated that in the future, he would have liked to see Glasses emerge as more of a leader than a follower. [2]
