Erik Hanson was a busboy at the Peregrinator's Club in Gotham City. As the club had a clientele of rich sophisticates and high class society members, one of the butlers, Edwards (who therefore had information on all of them), decided to steal from them, but "he lacked the motivation to rob them". Thus, he convinced Erik Hanson to form a gang of thieves to track down particular targets and mug them. Hanson thus took on the identity of Facade, using the club's money to bankroll the gang, and covering it up with the money from stealing. However, Batman detected a pattern of robberies and followed one of the thieves, a woman who had masqueraded to Bruce Wayne as a reporter.

Batman then entered their meeting place, attacking them and arresting all of the thieves...except Hanson, who escaped to the Peregrinator's Club to get whatever loot was possible.

But Batman followed him there, figuring out that Edwards had given him the information, and stopping them both. Facade is now presumably in prison .
