Russell

"We're not Tom and Benny," Russell said. His voice matched the smile on his face, but I was reminded that smiling is just another way of baring teeth, another way to snarl.

(Obsidian Butterfly, page 94, paragraph 4)
Race Human
Status Deceased - Killed by Anita
Title n/a
Description He is 6'2" and obscenely broad through the shoulders. His hair is thick and straight and tied back in a loose braid. He has high cheekbones, dark skin, a slight tilt to his black eyes, a strong jaw and slender lips.
Commentary * Russell must have been in prison at one time, because his upper body strength is massive, but his lower body is normal.

* He has a tattoo of black barbed-wire running around his bicep.

* Russell is one of Riker's goons. When he tried to muscle Donna at a restaurant, Anita broke his nose. He was later arrested for disorderly conduct.

* Later, when he and the others came to collect Anita for Riker, she ran and he chased. She ended up kicking him in the groin and giving him a roundhouse kick, and smashing a piece of driftwood over his head.

* Russell is responsible for breaking three of Becca's fingers as he tortured her in front of Anita and Edward via video camera.

* He was later shot by Anita as he was trying to escape Riker's compound.
