Billy Grey

**William "Billy" Grey** (13 April 1971-2008) was the President of The Lost MC's Kearny, New Jersey chapter from the 1990s until 2008, preceding Johnny Klebitz. Grey was known to be a quick tempered man with a passion for partying, drinking, and using various drugs, particularly marijuana and heroin. His irrational decision making, made him unpopular among many of his members, particularly, Vice President, Johnny Klebitz and treasurer, Jim Fitzgerald. In 2008, he reignited gang warfare with the rival Angels of Death gang after shooting Ciff Hughes for interrupting his homecoming party after his return from rehab. Grey proceeded to destroy the Angels' clubhouse and steal heroin belonging to the Triads, leading to Klebitz arguing with Grey. Grey attempted to have Klebitz and Fitzgerald killed in a Triad ambush at the Dragon's Heart Plaza in Chinatown, New York City, but the NYPD captured Grey, while Klebitz and Fitzgerald managed to escape. Grey then entered the Witness Protection Program to testify against his former associates, but the members of The Lost raided the prison he was in and after a final confrontation with Klebitz, he was shot once through the torso, dying of his wound shortly afterward. Grey is considered to be almost single-handedly destroyed the Lost club.

## Biography

### Career

William Grey was born on Kearny, New Jersey on 13 April 1971 and experienced a rough childhood. In 1986, at the age of fifteen, Grey was arrested for hijacking, an assault in 1987, and for a murder in 1989. As a young man, Grey became a member of The Lost MC, a powerful biker gang in North New Jersey, and he introduced his friends Johnny Klebitz and Brian Jeremy to The Lost's New Jersey chapter, which he would later come to lead. Grey became known as a sociopath due to his violent tendencies, often fueled by his racism, homophobia, heroin addiction, or alcoholism. He defied a rule of the club by sleeping with the girlfriend of Johnny Klebitz, Ashley Butler and provoked further fighting between The Lost and The Angels of Death when he caused a motorcycle accident that led to AOD leader Joe Jon Johnson's nephew falling into a coma, his girlfriend losing her leg, and Angus Martin becoming paralyzed. Grey became known for his rash decision making and violent tendencies and he was known to be a very unreasonable man and a bad leader. In 2002, he was arrested for racketeering, for which he was imprisoned for, and a few years later, he was arrested for trafficking heroin. Grey would be forced to spend time in rehab and prison for his habits, leading to Klebitz taking Grey's place in 2007 when he was sent to rehab.

#### MC Civil War

In 2008, Grey was released from rehab and was reinstated as president of the Lost. Grey ordered the members to retrieve his bike from the Angels of Death, who had been given the bike by Klebitz as a peace offering while Grey was in prison. This reignited a war with the Angels, and Grey's murder of the Angels' lieutenant Cliff Hughes led to all-out warfare between the gangs. The death counts of both sides sky rocketed and Grey frequently had arguments with Klebitz over Grey's decisions. Grey decided to assassinate Klebitz, arranging for The Lost bikers to be ambushed at a meeting with the Triads in Chinatown. The Lost bikers managed to escape, and Grey was arrested by police as he fled from the Dragon's Heart Plaza; Grey claimed that Klebitz had set him up, although it was Grey who had failed to account for the police's response to the failed ambush. This resulted in a civil war within the club between Klebitz's faction and another led by Brian Jeremy.

Grey was imprisoned at North Jersey State Prison and became an FBI informant, planning to testify against the gang in court. Grey joined the Witness Protection Program in exchange for a shorter prison term. Klebitz and what remained of the Lost MC took up arms and raided the prison, killing numerous amounts of law enforcement officers. Grey murdered a guard and attempted to escape before he came face to face with Klebitz in an empty yard, Klebitz drew a gun and Grey attempted to stab hi, but he fired once into Grey's torse, killing him instantly.
