Sleazy P. Martini

While fleeing the U.S. on possible drug charges, Sleazy ends up crashing his helicopter in Antarctica, where Gwar has been imprisoned by The Master, frozen inside a cavern. Sleazy stumbles into the cavern and, upon removing his fur coat to reveal a shiny suit that reflects the sun's rays, he inadvertently frees the members of Gwar by melting the ice in which Gwar are imprisoned. Gwar is preparing to kill him when Balsac the Jaws of Death convinces them to ally with Sleazy due to a prophecy about the excellence of whoever would free Gwar. (The decision to join Sleazy was made easier thanks to Sleazy giving them crack cocaine, for which they developed an instant affinity). He teaches the band to play their instruments and brings them to America. These events are recounted in a flashback in Skulhedface. Sleazy also hosts a television show and movie called "It's Sleazy".[3]

The debut of Sleazy is a story of some debate but Drakulich was kind enough to share while talking to Mr. Lobo. Originally, but not canon in the band lore, Drakulich volunteered to play a character that would replace Gwar's first manager - Sleazy's dead brother Sluggo. Sleazy came on stage holding Sluggo's dead body. Drakulich did not realize until much later how much Andy Kauffman character Tony Clifton influenced his performances.[4]

Sleazy plays an important role in the 1992 Gwar film Phallus in Wonderland, as he assists them in the battle against The Morality Squad. Sleazy goes head to head with C.I.A. special agent Cerutti Fancypants, as the two produce larger and more elaborate firearms to one-up each other whilst killing bystanders. Of the Morality Squad, the CIA agent is the only one to not be seen dying.[5]

Sleazy returns in the film that accompanies 1994's This Toilet Earth, and in addition to recounting the tale of how he discovered Gwar, he is asked by a corrupt record label (which is actually a front for the villain Skulhedface) to sign over the rights to Gwar and then kill them. After signing over the rights and taking the money, Sleazy signals Gwar to enter the boardroom at which point they kill everyone on the directors board except Skulhedface, who escapes to her underground lab. Ultimately, Sleazy is responsible for distracting Gwar long enough to keep them from riding the World Maggot back to The Master to destroy him - which would end his ability to exploit them further.[6][7]

Sleazy has his own track on the album Ragnarok, "Think You Outta Know This", in which he raps about various conspiracies and secrets. On the tour (and the accompanying video/movie) the song is preceded by Sleazy being approached by a pair of aliens, who think he is a representative of Earth and want him to sign over all rights to Earth. As he is about to sign he pulls out his shotgun and kills one of the aliens. He then lets Gwar dispose of the second alien while he performs his song.[8] In the music video for "Surf Of Syn," he drives Gwar to the NASA space station where they hijack a rocket to fight Cardinal Syn.[9]

Although he had no presence on the We Kill Everything tour or album, the movie based on it includes him in a central role. The antics of the tour were reworked in the movie to take place on a Jerry Springer-like talk show which Sleazy hosts, with the audience members consisting largely of former enemies and members of Gwar.

He appears at the end of the album's story in Back In Crack and sends the band a "9-ton crack boulder".
