The Widowmaker

*"You see? You can't protect anyone. Whatever you are, you aren't strong. [...] At this point, Lee, I don't even care anymore. The truth is, I just like the pain. I like seeing it. On you. On her. On the faces of all those people in that cute fucking club you have. I love it."*

## Appearances

### Season 1

#### "We Tell Ourselves"

When Lee Gray is brought to The Widowmaker, he orders that he be taken away and he is dragged farther into the sewers.

#### "The Thirst"

The Widowmaker tells Lee that he, as a recently turned vampire, tastes the best and will be fed to the other vampires later. When the time comes, he kills two other human men next to Lee. Just before he can kill him, however, he lashes out, slicing off The Widowmaker's ear. Just then, the AVD storm the sewers and begin killing the members of the Blood-born. Everyone scatters, but not before The Widowmaker tries to kill Lee. He is, however, knocked off him by Jill Goode and the two escape.

#### "Life Sucks"

After the battle, The Widowmaker demands that they find Lee so he can find out who he is.

#### "Vampire: Part One"

Dante Young, a vampire working at the AVD, tells The Widowmaker about an upcoming attack on the Blood-born's base. After this, he kidnaps young and he is later killed and displayed in front of the assaulting AVD, branding him a traitor. The Widowmaker then returns to Lee as the operation begins, telling him that he is not done with him yet.

#### "Vampire: Part Two"

The Widowmaker tortures Lee, obsessed with finding out what he is, but is drawn away as the AVD begin to push into the abandoned factory on the ground. He kills the police in there, strangling Callahan Gritt, before returning to Lee. He produces his sister, Polly, and threatens to kill her if he does not escape from his chains in an attempt to make him reveal what he is. Lee fails to break free and, without hesitation, he kill Polly in cold blood. Lee then appears to talk to himself and The Widowmaker laughs at his insanity. He breaks from his chains and the two fight, with Lee soon overpowering him. He beats him half to death and then drinks his blood, killing him.
