The Schemer was a criminal mastermind who gathered a large gang of thugs and planned a colossal heist in order to steal a large shipment of gold from the First National Bank in Gotham City.

The Schemer's plan consisted of making his henchmen pose as blind men across Gotham City, and making the public believe that Batman had been killed by his men.[1]

Batman was eventually drawn to investigate the case and the Schemer was forced to attack and kidnap Robin, in order to stall the Dark Knight from stopping his plan. However, Batman managed to locate the Schemer's hideout, and with Alfred's help, he managed to save Robin and capture the Schemer. Once the criminal was taken into prison, the various member of his gang followed suit.[2]
