Introduce yourself to Reinhart Schwimmer

Artist rendition

Reinhart wasn't a gangster. He was an optician, who inherited his fathers business then lost it. As of now he was being supported by his mother. Though not a gangster he sure loved hanging out with them. O'Banion, Moran, the Gusenbergs. The more the merrier.
