Bozo

**Bozo, born Lionel Lee Lowry**, is a long-time employee of the Savelli family.

## Early life

Lionel was born at Charity Hospital in New Orleans in 1958. Spending most of his childhood in one of the roughest neighborhoods in New Orleans, Lionel tended to run with the crowd and commit small crimes. By the time Lionel was 17, he had 3 children and a small criminal record. He ended up dropping out of high school in 1975 to work in order to take care of his kids. This usually consisted of stealing, robbing, and selling drugs. Eventually in 1980, Lionel was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon after a rival tried to steal from him. He ended up spending 7 years in prison for this. After his release in 1988, he had trouble finding work up until drug kingpin Howard Savelli approached him on the street. Savelli, noticing the large man, decided he wanted him as a bodyguard. Recognizing the opportunity that was in front of him, Lionel immediately agreed.

### Working for Savelli

Lionel would stick by Howard's side everywhere he went. He was also given a gun and free shooting lessons courtesy of Howard. In 1991, Lionel was instructed by Howard to kill Oklahoma City faction leader Niro after he suspected that he was the one who tipped off the FBI about his operation. Lionel fulfilled this request and did a little extra by killing one of the bartenders that was with Niro at the time. Howard was annoyed that Lionel killed more people than he had to, but considered the job done. On May 2, 1991, the FBI raided Savelli's operation, but shortly before that, Howard gave Lionel a huge chunk of money and told him to sneak out the backdoor to avoid being caught. The two share a hug and Lionel is off. Fast-forwarding about 20 years, Lionel began to work for Howard's son, Sperry at his own drug operation. This also consisted of bodyguard duties, however, he also manufactured drugs as well.

## Death

In February 2024, Lionel was instructed by Sperry to check the road after a suspicious vehicle was seen driving down it. Lionel finds that Sergio and mysterious purple haired man (Agent Purple) were driving down the road in a limo. Automatically suspecting the worse, Lionel shoots both Agent Purple and his driver. He then forces Sergio to dig a hole deep enough for 3 bodies as Lionel was planning on killing Sergio as well. After receiving an angry phone call from Sperry for killing the two men and also being instructed to tell Sergio to go see Sperry, Lionel proceeds to finish digging the hole. Somehow, Agent Purple actually survived the shooting, much to Lionel's chagrin. Agent Purple proceeds to shoot Lionel in the head, killing him instantly.

## Facts

* Lionel was born on the exact same day as the late King of Pop Michael Jackson
* In his younger years, Bozo had burgundy hair
* The nickname Bozo derives from Lionel's love for clowns
* He's always wearing a muscle shirt

**Idrah Marie Wilkins (September 30, 1940 - September 2, 2023)** was the wife of drug kingpin Howard Savelli.

### Early life and Adulthood

Idrah was born in 1940. Information about her childhood is unknown. After graduating high school in 1958, Idrah became a seamstress. She worked this job up until meeting her husband, Howard at a riot caused by the assassination of MLK on April 4, 1968. She seems to be out of the loop about the civil rights leader’s death as that is the first thing Howard tells her about. Idrah and Howard began a whirlwind romance and ended up getting married on New Year’s Eve 1969. The couple settled down in New Orleans and began a family. Their first child, Shirley, being born in August 1971. They later had two sons, Stephen in 1974 and Sperry in 1976. Unusually, she did not take her husband’s last name. This is because she was aware of the dealings he was in, and knew eventually he may go down for a long time. This did not stop her from giving their kids his last name however
She ends up being passive about her husband’s career as it brought good money in and she was able to raise the kids with no worries financially. Eventually in 1991, Howard ended up getting raided and arrested by the FBI, but days before the raid, Howard transferred 1.3 million dollars to Idrah’s secret account. Idrah reportedly never visited her husband in prison to avoid suspicion, and would send her children instead. Fast forward to 2005, Howard dies in prison and Hurricane Kaiser (reference to Katrina) did extensive damage to their home. After rebuilding, the family moved back into the home in 2007. Life went on as usual until 2021, Idrah became bored of New Orleans and decided to buy a home in Thibodaux, LA and began working as a cook at a local nursing home. She worked this job until being diagnosed with terminal blood cancer in 2023. She passed away at her home in Thibodaux on September 2, 2023.

Seymour’s personality didn’t change at all due to this divorce and move and he kept to himself. Most of his peers in high school didn’t bother him much because he gave off “creep” vibes.

After graduating high school, Seymour began working at Walmart on the overnight shift. He eventually was fired in 2009 due to making terroristic threats to another coworker. He decided to lay low until around 2012, when he noticed an ad online looking for workers at a home improvement store.

## Early Life and Adulthood

Ruisa was born in 1989. It is unknown how her childhood and teenage years were like, but it is assumed she had sociopathic tendencies growing up due to her current career.

In 2022, she decided to take a darker path and become a budget hitwoman as she mysteriously came into possession of many weapons and was easily unsuspecting. Up until she was hired for Arthur Smith’s assassination, she completed 3 hits.

In early 2024, she was called by a close associate, Sperry, to help get rid of Agent Purple’s proxy’s body, to which she quickly agreed. Sergio delivered the body to her, and it was gone within the hour. A couple months later, she was contacted by Arthur Smith. He wanted her to take out his ex-lover, LixD. She agreed to do this for $5,000, however only a couple weeks later, she was contacted by LixD to take out Arthur Smith. Seeing this as a prime opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, she agreed to do this for $3,800.

She pretends to be furious at LixD for lying to her about Arthur exercising at the park (which he usually does on Tuesday evenings).

Things took a turn in 2023, when Zameer decided to start exposing corruption in different levels of government. This drew the ire of a few government officials but Channel 5 executive Kristin Schultzer noticed that viewership was at a record high during Zameer’s segment, so she encouraged Zameer to keep doing it.

## Oneida Smith Story

In 2024, Zameer received a random tip from a former employee of the Houma Sheriff Department about their interim Chief of Police Oneida Smith. Knowing that this story could be his big break, Zameer drove to Houma and began questioning random citizens about Smith. He even called Serenity (who was possibly the person who gave Zameer the tip in the first place), to get her side of the story. This culminated in a bombshell story which aired in May 2024, and was supposed to be a two part segment. After the first segment aired, Zameer’s name was trending on social media, and he even got 25,000 views on YouTube after only one day. This segment obviously upset Oneida, and she was determined to get Serenity back for snitching.

The second segment was supposed to air the following Monday, but only two days later Zameer would get into a serious car accident which hospitalized him for nearly a month. During this time, Oneida would attempt to discredit Zameer’s story, but as of Episode 25, it is unknown what the outcome was.

Gunt

**Freeman Nightstar Knight** was a drug manufacturer and driver at Savelli Home Improvement.

## Early life and adulthood

Freeman's beginnings started in 1978. He grew up in Grand Caillou, a small bayou side town in southern Louisiana. From the age of 3, he had a fascination with cars, and would always buy a toy car every time his parents had enough money to buy him one. At the age of 16, he acquired his first car, a 1981 Ford Escort. He took pride in refurbishing and maintaining this car and still owned it up until his death.

Freeman graduated high school in 1996, and immediately went into the workforce. He earned his CDL in 2000 and began driving around the country. In 2012, a traumatic accident forced Freeman to walk away from driving big rigs. He was driving to Nevada to deliver dry grocery products to a store, when out of nowhere, a suicidal man drove his car in front of Freeman and hit his brakes. Freeman had little time to react to this and crashed into the man's car at over 60mph. It resulted in the man dying from his injuries in the accident, while Freeman walked away with bruises and scratches. The local police did not charge Freeman criminally for the accident due to the fact that the other driver had a suicide note on his person, and unusually charged his estate for his death, and encouraged Freeman to file a lawsuit. Freeman did not do this however and decided to leave cross country driving from that point forward.

Back in Louisiana, Freeman still had the itch to drive, but on a much smaller scale, so he decided to apply to Sperry Savelli's job posting for a delivery driver because of the good pay. Unbeknownst to him, Sperry's business was actually an undercover drug operation. Regardless, Freeman agreed to work for Sperry, and began his new job in early 2013. One of his first runs came with Bozo, and they had to drive to San Antonio, Texas to pick up some product that Sperry needed.

## Death

In October 2022, Freeman was on his way back from delivering product to a customer in Lafayette, when, for some unknown reason decided to test the limits of Sperry's car. He began speeding on US 90, getting as high as 125mph on the highway. At some point, Freeman lost control of the car and ended up crashing into a guardrail and a high speed. Freeman was ejected from the car and died on the scene.
Helena Hammond

Helena Hammond (birth name Harvey Marcus Hammond) is a tritagonist character in the series. ￼

### Early life and Adulthood

Helena was born in 1992 in Omaha, NE. She is the oldest of two, with her younger brother Haidrick, being only 10 months younger than her. Not a lot is known about her childhood, except the fact that she began transitioning from male to female at age 14. At age 19, Helena ended up getting breast implants to feel more comfortable in her body. She did not have bottom surgery due to the fact that she wanted to keep her penis. Any information about her 20s is far and few between. In 2023, she hears about Haidrick killing his wife, and she decides to track him down. This was successful as she found him hiding out in a motel in a small town on the Pennsylvania/Maryland border. She is very vague about how she found out this information, basing it on "sources" that she has. She pretends to help Haidrick by moving him to a "cold place". This was the first sign of betrayal from her, as when she finds Haidrick, it is summertime. Meaning that she was either planning on killing him or someone else was. The siblings take a long trip down to Atlanta, passing through Indianapolis and Nashville on the way. At the Nashville stop, Helena's true intentions are exposed. She receives a call, and after telling Haidrick that it's their mother calling, she runs to the restroom to take the call. On the other line is Agent Purple, who she struck up a deal with to bring Haidrick to a drop off spot in far eastern Louisiana. When the siblings arrive in Atlanta, Helena picks up a package that is near the Mercedes Benz stadium, which contained chloroform and a rag. After settling in Atlanta, Helena finally exposes her true intentions to Hadrick, before forcefully placing the rag on his face. Haidrick passes out, but not before hitting his head on the ground. She then proceeds to tie the rag around Haidrick's neck really tightly, causing him to suffocate and eventually die while being transported to Louisiana via the fixer's car. Helena and the fixer (named Oscar Wheeler), end up getting into a serious accident while near the Louisiana state line. Helena and the driver recover in the local hospital, but Helena is told by the doctor (Rashenia Lydon), that her brother passed away, but not in the accident. She immediately receives a call from an irate Agent Purple, promising that he will hunt Helena down for killing Haidrick.

### Personality and facts

Helena can be best described as mysterious yet eccentric. As mentioned before, she can easily betray a person, especially if she's getting paid to do so. ￼

* In Episode 7, Helena makes a reference to the Mario Judah song, "Die Very Rough" while calling Haidrick
* In the same episode, she has a tendency to use the N word. This behavior ceases by Episode 12. ￼
* She'll become annoyed if anyone refers to her as Harvey and will correct them. Haidrick was the biggest offender in that regard. ￼

She met Gertrude in elementary school and the girls quickly became lifelong friends. After graduating high school in 1981, she decided to go to school to become a nurse, however, she preferred to party instead of study causing her to flunk out after one semester. After this, she began working some small nickel and dime jobs until she was eligible enough to return to school. She ended up meeting her future husband, Lambert, at one of these jobs. She returned to school in 1985, and actually finished her 4-year degree. In 1991, her and Lambert got married at the courthouse as Josephine didn't want a traditional wedding for some odd reason. The union produced one child, Kiernan, in 1995. In 2022, however, her husband Lambert passed away suddenly at the age of 58. This (obviously) destroyed her, and she began to take out her frustrations and grief on her sister-in-law Nora. Josephine has had a one-sided beef with Nora since the 1990s, it is unknown why this even began. Nora wanted to plan out Lambert's funeral, much to Josephine's chagrin. Although Josephine outright refused Nora's request, she still went ahead with the services. This infuriated Josephine and the one-sided beef grew even stronger. In her debut in Episode 3, she refers to Nora as a bitch and admits stealing clothes from her.

### Personality and facts

Josephine, despite her assumed peaceful upbringing, can be described as a spiteful, evil person. However, this is mainly due to the way she treats her sister-in-law, Nora. While on her job as a nurse, she does a complete 180 as she is friendly and very professional with patients and guests.

He worked for the department for 17 years before moving on to work for the Louisiana State Police.

Lee is a very stoic person and has a tendency to introduce himself as “Officer Lee Longwang” at any time. He also seems to be out of touch with current trends as evidenced in Episode 5, when questioning Teena about the shooting, he is confused to who Drake is. This could very well just be a front he puts on to remain professional at all times.

* He is the only officer in the series that doesn’t wear a matching uniform.
