==Biography==
===ESU Officer===
====Attack on the NYPD====
In the wake of the Bombing of Hell's Kitchen, the ESU sniper was ordered by Wilson Fisk to take a position on the rooftop near the Abandoned Building where the Masked Man and Vladimir Ranskahov were hiding from the New York City Police Department. When Christian Blake was arguing with Ben Urich, the sniper shot Blake, as well as Pinski and the other NYPD officer, causing a chaos. With Fisk's men providing media with the footage of the Masked Man attacking the police and escaping with Ranskahov, he was deemed a perpetrator behind the shootings, as well as the explosions at Hell's Kitchen.

*In the scene where the sniper prepares his rifle, there is an ace of spades visible in his deck of cards, which was rumored to be a reference to Bullseye. In an interview with IGN, Steven S. DeKnight said: "I can say absolutely nothing except people have a fine, fine astute eye. Whether or not that was Bullseye, time will tell."Spoiler Conversation with Showrunner Steven DeKnight This version of the character was scrapped, as Benjamin Poindexter was introduced as an FBI agent in the third season.
