History
Gatland is a crime boss that hates the Green Hornet and Britt Reid, as he does not know they are the same person. He was the man Green Hornet got evidence to bring down in his last case. At the time Gatland was dying of cancer and wanted revenge on all those who he felt wronged him rather than go to prison he wanted the city to burn. Â
Â
He got all his men together to launch an attack on the City. Many policemen were killed and shot in the street. He and his apprentice Joey Devane also abducted Britt Reid’s fiance and crucified her on his balcony. All the while he played his sax while the city burned, just as Nero of old may have done centuries ago. Eventually, the Green Hornet paid Gatland the visit that was intended for Britt. A battle ensued and Gatland fell off the balcony to his death.
