Intelligence collected from former accomplices has revealed that Washington discovered his ability to draw strength from fear in his teenage years, using it to rise rapidly in the Los Angeles criminal scene. Starting with taking control over his own gang, Washington, soon brought several street gangs under his control. This intelligence suggests that Matt Parkman may have been a long-standing auxiliary parent figure for Washington, possibly in the context of Parkman's service as a parole officer.

Company surveillance on Washington first began during his rise to power in New Orleans.

It was at this diner that Knox met a fellow evolved human, Jesse Murphy (see case file C3019), and partnered with him with the goal of taking over New Orleans' criminal element in its entirety. The two gangsters have taken steps towards accomplishing this goal already, and despite efforts to apprehend them both Murphy and Washington remain at large. [Sentences Omitted: Classified]
