Lucinda Boltz

Occupation:
Ace Automobile Mechanics

Description:
Lucinda Boltz knew her life was about to change forever when Carmen drove up in her 1939 Packard convertible, water pump rattling and radiator boiling over. After $89.95 in parts and labor, the grey-haired mechanic took her toolkit, prized Andrew Wyeth paintings, and her pet armadillo and threw them all into the rumble seat of the Packard. She thus became Carmen’s mechanic, chauffeur and right-hand woman. When not driving a getaway car or fixing one, Lucinda likes to curl up in front of the tube and watch videotapes, her favorites being Le Mans and Billie Jean King’s Greatest Moments in Tennis.

Tippi Canoe

Occupation:
Part-time Con Artist and Full-Time Real Estate Agent

Description:
A smooth talker with a lighting-quick pen, Tippi has sold enough New York City real estate to fill the Grand Canyon ten times over. Unfortunately for her customers, none of it was ever hers to sell. Still trying to make up for the deal which sold Manhattan to the Dutch for $24, the raven-haired Iroquois recently conned a Rotterdam investor into coughing up a down payment on the Brooklyn Bride. By batting her lovely grey eyes, she also swung a new deal for the FDR Drive. Tippi gets past the “no pets allowed” sign in her penthouse apartment by dressing up her pet coyote, Babe (named after Tippi’s favorite baseball player), in a Yankee cap and a catcher’s mask.

Stanley Cupp

Occupation:
Retired Hockey Player

Description:
After retiring from the St. Cloud Saint Bernards, perennial doormat of Minnesota’s “Pee Wee Hockey League,” Stanley wandered about the country trying to find himself, failing miserably because there was n o one home. Carmen happened upon him one day and hired him to be the gang’s receptionist-she thought he had winning smile, in spite of his seven missing front teeth. Recurring nightmares about playing goalie have turned both Stanley’s hair and eye prematurely grey. The again ex-hockey star now raises and breeds armadillos for racing, although he has devil of a time finding jockeys small enough to fit into those tiny saddles.

Homer DeBrave

Occupation:
Retried Slow-pitch Softball Player

Description:
It looked extremely bleak for Sandiego’s gang that night. Then strolled Homer upon the scene-o, what a welcomed sight! For when the black-haired, hulking figure saw them in a fix, He said, “Stand back, I’ll break that lock, just let me get my licks.”
He peered in with soft grey eyes to find the right approach. He rubbed his hands upon his chest as if a third-base coach. A six-foot pip that weighed a ton he lifted o’er his head. And like Babe Ruth, he swung with ease that hefty piece of lead.
O somewhere in this land, crooks trade schemes with frauds; I’m sure they see no harm. But Homer? H struck out, you see, he hit the fire alarm.

“Moms” DeWerd

Occupation:
Retired Chorus-liner and Semi-retired mobster

Description:
Moms is the former queenpin of the Sweden-based DeWerd disorganized crime family. Now retired, the carrot-topped racketeer often advises Carmen on such knotty problems as how to evade the police, hot to avoid the IRS and how to make a flaky and tasty pie crust. A showgirl in her younger days, Moms had to continuously fight off celebrity suitors from Fatty Arbuckle to Al Capone to Babe Ruth. The Babe still owns a place in Moms’ heart, and his photo adorns Moms’ rec room wall. The malefactress often disguises herself under a pill box hat and veil, but she can be spotted in a crowd when she travels with her pet Opossum, Zippy.

Marty Graw

Occupation:
Camp Counselor and Party animal

Description:
Marty’s current scam is as recreation director at Camp Idono Ware Weyar. The green-eyed con artist organized egg tosses, 3-legged sack races, and Jitter-bug dance marathons. Marty is wanted in three states for his fraudulent breeding scheme in which he tries to pass off a little of crocodile pups as rare African guard dogs. He is known to brag about his alleged romances with Brenda Starr, Babe Didrikson, and Amelia Earheart.

- The camp name reminds me an old tv show called Camp Idontwanna. I remember some of the song intro..Camp Idontwanna we hold you in our heart and when we think about you it makes me wanna fart haha

Proprietor of “Della’s Calf-A”

Della’s life of crime bean when she was required to defend herself against the 86 foot poison cases no pending against her.

Speed is her middle name. A bike messenger from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Rhoda guarantees one-day service anywhere in the Great Plains (extra charge for flash flood zones and tornado alerts).

Unfortunately Rhoda had forgotten to buckle her saddle bags and left the loot scattered up and down Interstate 35. The green-eyed pedal queen is known to zip up to the wilds of Maine on her day off to deliver toupees to bald eagles. Among Rhoda’s idols are ace pilot Chuck Yeager, tennis legend Billie Jean King, and Ukrainian skateboard champ Igor “Eat my Dust” Takinov.

Phil R. Yup

Occupation:
Street musician and One-man band

Description:
Phil was born into a family of sousaphone players form a Walla Walla, Washington. Discovered by Carmen when he crashed the half-time show at the Rose Bowl, the red haired music man joined Sandiego’s gang to provide entertainment and diversion during capers. Phil is tone-deaf, so when he performs on the pennywhistle, mandolin and bass drum, the racket drives away any possible witnesses to the heist. When not on the job, Phil releases by wresting with his pet crocodile, Noodles.

Shlomo Replay

Occupation:
News and Sprots camera man for KBTZ-TV

Description:
Ace cameraman for the KBTZ-TV “I Witness” news team, Shlomo is so fast he once go to a Sandiego heist before the police arrives-in fact, before the gang members arrived. Unfortunately, he forgot to put videotape in his camera, a lapse for which Carmen was eternally grateful. To show her gratitude, Carmen made him honorary V.I.L.E. historian. The black-haired shutterbug from Kentucky used to photograph the young Cassius Clay, who once knocked Shlomo silly when he came into a bit too close for close-up.

Laverne Onions

Occupation:
Short Order cook

Description:
Laverne secured her job as a chief cook and bottle-washer for Della by withholding the fact that she couldn’t find her way around the kitchen without a tour guide. This blonde so-called chef is notorious throughout eastern Missouri for her death-defying dishes and debilitating delectables. Laverne’s reputation keeps customers away from “Della’s Calf-A” in droves , ensuring no one will walk in on a V.I.L.E. gang member as they’re admiring the loot form their latest heist. If a wayward highway patrol man wanders up to the counter, Laverne can whip up on order of her special “salmon salmonella in mayonnaise.” A shutterbug in her spare time, Laverne tires to copy the photographs on Ansel Adams, though she really doesn’t know an f-stop from a bus top.

Casey Rah Sirah

Occupation:
Part-time disk jockey and full-time motormouth

Description:
Casey became Carmen’s press agent and propagandist and promptly sent her to the top of the charts, getting her picture on every newspaper, magazine cover and Post Office all in the country-not exactly the kind of publicity Carmen had in mind. “I am the Greatest!” (a tribute to his idol, boxer Muhammad Ali) is the motto of this blue-eyed chatterbox. A native of Mountainhome, Pennsylvania and former head cheerleader of Hill High, Casey got his first job on radio station WHOA. When Casey’s not behind the mike, he can often be seen in the company of his per armadillo, Tex.

Skip Tumelu

Occupation:
Department store mannequin

Description:
A ten-year veteran as a department store mannequin, Skip was lured by Carmen to a life of crime by the promise of a new spring wardrobe. This straw-haired native of Wahoo, Nebraska, is now the gang’s lookout. He is largely inconspicuous when standing on a street-corner, unnoticed by policemen or bystanders, although dogs and pigeons do pose a problem. Behind the vacuous star of Skip’s emerald-green eyes lies an equally vacuous mind, and even among Sandiego’s motley crew here is agreement that Skip is the very definition of “air head”. Skip has a love of nature; he often goes bird-watching for bald eagles, blissfully unaware he is hundreds of miles form their natural habitat.

Claire Voyant

Occupation:
Former Tabloid Psychic

Description:
Hired by Carmen to be the gang’s palm reader and all around sage, this red-headed siren is more a jinx than accurate forecaster. Claire’s last correct prediction was in 1958, when she guessed that the new Pope would be Catholic. Inept at reading the I Ching, the Ouija Board and the U.S. Average of Economic Indicators, this emerald-eyed fortune teller spends her time scouring garage sales for original Normal Rockwell paintings. Patterning her work ethic on that of her pet Opossum, Dishrag, Claire now sleeps all day and stays up all night reading the fortunes of the V.I.L.E. gang members.
