The character is an enigmatic ''nouveau riche'' millionaire who lives in a luxurious mansion on Long Island where he often hosts extravagant parties and who allegedly gained his vast fortune by illicit bootlegging during prohibition in the United States.

It played a major role in most colonies in battling the Stamp Act in 1765. The group disbanded after the Stamp Act was repealed.
