History:

(Daredevil II#47 (fb) - BTS) - A local criminal, Samuel set up shop with the Kingpin. He collected for Waldo Dini for a time. When the Kingpin was taken down and the Owl took over, Samuel hated the new regime.

(Daredevil II#47) - Samuel collected drug money sent by Heathcliff, through Rodney, to Jackson. He returned the money to the local unit only to find his allies murdered by the Yakuza. Frightened out of his wits, he ran for it, but ran straight into the armed Yakuza, including Sano. They laughed at the Owl's control of the area. As Samuel watched, Typhoid Mary attacked, insanely singing as she slaughtered the Yakuza, leaving only Sano alive. The Kingpin revealed himself and allowed Samuel, who was thrilled to see his old boss back, to live. He told Samuel to gather their allies at Josie's Bar at 10 the next day.

Heathcliff

(Daredevil II#47) - A drug pusher for Mutant Growth Hormone (MGH), Heathcliff was working his corner when a white boy and two girls came asking about MGH. After assuring they weren't cops, he asked for $220, then raised the price to $450. They agreed, so he sent Rodney to tell his supervisor that they needed more product.

Jackson

(Daredevil II#47) - Rodney was sent by a drug pusher, Heathcliff, to tell Jackson, a local store owner, that they needed more Mutant Growth Hormone (MGH) to sell. He delivered the cash as well, taking 20 for himself, but turned down Jackson's burger.

Rodney

(Daredevil II#47 (fb) - BTS) - A local criminal, Jackson tried his hand at bookmaking before setting up shop with the Kingpin. He opened up a small food store that became notorious for its bad food. When the Kingpin was taken down and the Owl took over, Jackson hated the new regime.

(Daredevil II#47) - Jackson acted as a middle man, collecting drug money and orders between Rodney and Samuel, both of whom insulted his food. He missed the old days.
