Parnassos has made a fortune selling oil tankers, weapons and medicine. He lives on a private island in the Gulf of Naples, Italy, in a Roman villa once built by the Roman emperor Tiberius. On his private floor of the villa he has an invaluable collection of original art objects, including Botticelli's The Birth of Venus, the marble sculpture Winged Victory of Samothrace, the sculpture Lion of Venice, the Eros statue from Picadilly Circus, the torch from Statue of Liberty and a self portrait of Rembrandt, all stolen from its owners and replaced by copies. When his setup is revealed by the Phantom, he is sentenced to prison. The Art Collector
