The head of The Bat, the information branch of the Gabriellas. Despite appearing to be just another mobster, however, he turns out to be using both sides for his own agenda.



* BigBad: He sets off the conflict by manipulating the gangs into warring against each other so he can control them both.
* BigBadEnsemble: He establishes himself as an opponent to both Issac and Meilang by trying to take control of both their gangs.
* ChekhovsGunman: Though he initially seems to be another minion in the Gabriella gang, he is actually the real BigBad using the gang for his own ends.
* FatBastard: He is rather chubby and is also the biggest psycho in a series full of them, sparking gang wars for his own advancement.
* IHaveYourWife: He sets up the attempted assassination of Roxy by holding the assassin’s wife and daughter hostage. He also tries to get Nichol to stand down by holding Sheryl hostage.
* PlayingBothSides: He works with the Gabriella gang and gives them information, but then sells them out to Tennouren, whom he also later tries to take over.
* SmugSnake: He plays the gangs against each other and behaves as though he is a true master manipulator, but he is really a psychotic scumbag who pales before the genuinely charismatic Lee Meilang.
* TheStarscream: To both Don Salieri, whom he sells out and has tortured to death, and Lee Meilang, who he attempts to betray and usurp (though he fails in the latter case).
