Eliot Ness was an American Prohibition agent; primarily remembered for his efforts to enforce Prohibition in Chicago. He dedicated much of his efforts against the local crime boss Al Capone and Capone's criminal organization, the Chicago Outfit. Ness led a team of law enforcement agents known as "The Untouchables", who were reputedly incorruptible. Ness' posthumously released memoir, "The Untouchables" (1957), has been adapted into two television series, one film, and one video game.
