"You see I grew up with nothing. No mom and dad to smooth the way for me. That makes a boy ambitious."

Scales, portrayed by actor Vinnie Jones is a mobster who has worked for Chess and has a freakish skin condition that gives him the appearance of green and gold scales.

In the Pilot, Scales wins in a fight against The Cape, wraps him in chains, and throws him into the ocean, but The Cape survives thanks to his new escape artist skills.

In Scales on a Train, he tries to kill Peter Fleming to take over as the leader of the underworld in Palm City. An all out war is declared between them...
