A short-tempered mob leader in Gotham, now part of an alliance with his fellow mobsters. Unlike Maroni and the Chechen, he despises the Joker. [[spoiler: He is quickly killed by the Joker, and his remaining gang is absorbed into the clown's ranks.]]
----
* AngryBlackMan: Given the few scenes that he appears deal directly with the Joker and his past actions[[note]]Specifically, the latter's robbing of 6,000,000 from the mob bank[[/note]], his being of this trope is perfectly justified.
* [[spoiler:AssholeVictim]]
* BadGuysPlayPool
* BeardOfEvil
* [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas Even Bad Men Love Their Grandmas]]: When Joker disses Gambol and his grandma, that's when Gambol snaps and wants Joker dead.
* IWantThemAlive: Wants SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker like this. Doesn't work out for him.
* HairTriggerTemper
* HotBlooded
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: The Joker does ''something'' (he possibly gave him a grin like Joker's or ''worse'') to him after giving his "Why So Serious" monologue.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Wallets. Jewelry. Fast!"'']]
->''"Not a day goes by that I don't wish I could take back what I did. Sure, I was desperate -- like a lot of people back then -- but... that don't change what I did."''

-->'''Played by:''' Richard Brake

A desperate, low-life criminal responsible for the deaths of Thomas & Martha Wayne. Ten years there's a chance for his release but a still bitter Bruce [[{{Revenge}} plans to put a stop to that]].
----
* [[spoiler:AssholeVictim: How Bruce see Chill's death.]]
* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:He shared a prison cell with Carmine Falcone, to which he would testify as part of a deal for parole. Falcone has him whacked in after public court.]]
* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: Given he was panicking and had his finger on the trigger the whole time, it's possible that the death of the Waynes came from this.
* JustifiedCriminal: He lived during Gotham's depression and had to make due in robbing just to get back.
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]
* [[spoiler:SpannerInTheWorks]]: [[spoiler:The League of Shadows caused Gotham's depression in order to get the city to collapse, creating the circumstances that led to Chill's stickup. But then Chill's murder of the Waynes caused the city to wake up for a moment, realize the hellhole it had let itself become, and was inspired enough by their deaths to pull itself out and limp along until Ra's next scheme. Plus, you know, the whole "creating Batman" thing.]]
* SympatheticMurderer: He was a desperate man looking to rob a rich couple to get a couple bucks - his hand shakes as he holds the gun, he looks pathetically terrified as he threatens them, and he clearly panicked when he pulled the trigger. He flees the scene immediately without bothering to check the bodies or kill the remaining witness. The movie makes clear that his crime wasn't due to real malice but a symptom of the city's downward spiral. Years later, he feels sorry for what happened to the Waynes - not that it matters to Bruce.
** The movie doesn't allow us to be sure whether he really feels sorry, though. According to Carmine Falcone, Chill bragged about Thomas Wayne "begging like a dog" for his life before being killed, though Falcone would have said anything at that point to get under Bruce's skin.
