Arc

The quiet, deadly colonel who dominated Land War plays Forza with Louis in Katia's old room (ch. 25) and gives Eileen a thousand stall-buffs that finally make Louis's Tahoe fast (ch. 45). Carl asks him to jockey Torpedo for Zhang (ch. 54, ch. 62); in the parade and the arena he drives Betrayal and then the APV (ch. 90, ch. 96), and is folded into the wreck with Elle (ch. 96).
