Profile 6 : Avon Barksdale

Avon Barksdale
Age : 38
Eyes : Brown, steely
Hair : Cropped or shaven
Body Type : Wiry

Turn-Ons : honeys, money, soldiering

Turn-Offs : POlice, Omar, East side er 'individuals'.

Nemesis : The closet thing Avon has to a nemesis is Omar Little. Little is something of a wild card in 'the game' and a constant thorn in the side of Avon's operation as he robs stash houses, terrorises the hoppers and generally looks to cause chaos as he seeks revenge for the brutal murder of a former lover by Avon. To some extent the special crimes unit of Baltimore PD also dog Avon's life but he was largely unaware of them until they came a'knocking.

Luxury Items : a beanie hat, a old pair of boxing gloves, a pager for him and his minion.

Choice of minion : Brother Mouzone. Mouzone is a terrifying individual. Smart, relentless and ruthless he is a hired killer who is very good at what he does and also enjoys a good read, rarely seen without a copy of 'The Nation' magazine.

Avon is an old fashion gangster, having fought his was to the top of Baltimore's drug scene he now finds himself having to do it all over again in our house. He's a cool character, a committed family man, not often prone to losing his temper but it can get ugly when he does. Admittedly he has no time for over complicated plans or schemes and much prefers the direct approach to his work, proper old school 'soldiering' as he would say.

As for the potential long confinement he has no worries, after all as he says "you only do two days, the day you go in and the day you come out"
