Agoura was a distinguished mob boss in Gotham City at the time of Batman: Year Three. He was a member of an East-Side family, operating in that area of Gotham.
History[]
Agoura attends the mob boss meeting at a restaurant along with Grenada and Louis Fairfax. Agoura interrupts Grenada’s suspicions that one of the attending families is behind the mob leader killings, and quickly voiced his disagreement with Grenada’s theory, due to all the mobsters monitoring each other and not picking up any information. Agoura says that the mob needs to work together to overcome the killers, but Fairfax speaks up and tells the bosses they need to start a gang war against the killers to intimidate one of them into talking.
Agoura calmly tells Fairfax open war is not a solution. Batman then enters the room, before disguised as a waiter, and tells the bosses that he himself has a plan. However Fairfax and the other bosses pull guns on Batman, but are swiftly disarmed. Batman asks whether all the families are represented, and Agoura lists off numerous mobsters who are unable or unwilling to attend, and last on the list is Tony Zucco, which surprises Batman. Agoura then tells Batman about Zucco’s book, which contains information Zucco can blackmail the other bosses with. The bosses then agree to work with Batman to stop Zucco.
Agoura is present when Batman interrogates Drexel.
Personality[]
Agoura is more of a peacemaker than the other mob bosses he works with, in that he dissuades the hot-headed Fairfax from starting a bloody gang war, and tries to forge alliances between families to combat Zucco’s hits.
