History:

(Daredevil Annual I#4/5 (fb) - BTS) - A drug dealer, Nick Lambert sold drugs to the public for years, including to the congregation of Carl Burbank. Burbank would eventually become the assassin Bushwacker. Lambert also sold drugs to Patrick Nidetz and his sister Amy.

(Daredevil Annual I#4/5) - When Lambert learned that someone had published information about him in the newspaper, he was furious and knew that someone had betrayed him. He ordered Reynolds to warn off the reporter, Ben Urich, who'd written the article. The next day, another article came out and Lambert was furious, breaking a mirror in anger. He ordered Reynolds to find out who the leak was and to hire a hitman to take out both the leak and Urich. Reynolds hired Bushwacker, who soon learned that Lambert was behind it all. He allowed Urich to live and expose Lambert, who was soon arrested but freed by his expensive lawyers. Bushwacker later killed Lambert himself.
