Petro is responsible for many deaths, including Shadow's mentor, the Duke; as well as Manhunter's sister and brother-in-law.
At one point, due to evidence brought by Shadow , Petro was jailed on federal racketeering charges. However, he was paroled and eventually rose to control the underworld a second time. He plans to avoid the mistakes of his first rule.
