Character History
As Knox and Matt Parkman are eating tacos together, Matt tries to convince Knox to leave the gang he is running with; which is headed by Bartell (who is called a "thug"). They part ways, and later the gang, in a room in an unknown location, are planning a job and selecting guns. When Knox mentions he wants to "sit this one out", Bartell doesn't comply. Bartell does a "confidence check" on each member (by holding a gun to their throats), except Knox, who begins sensing their fear, which allows the surprised Knox to effectively bend a steal crowbar into a pretzel. When no other gang member asks to skip out on the heist, Knox reluctantly agrees to participate.
Matt again tries to encourage Knox to leave the gang and turn Bartell in to the police.
Bartell confronts Knox about talking to a cop. Bartell begins punching him, and then threatens him with a gun. He then prepares to beat Knox up with a baseball bat, but Knox, empowered by the fear of the other gang members present, breaks the bat in half. Knox proceeds to throw Bartell around the room, before punching a hole through his chest; killing him. One of the gang members, in shock, tells him that he killed Bartell, with Knox answering that he is "the main man" (new leader) now.
When Matt asks what happened to Bartell, Knox merely replies that he heard he "got eaten by a shark".
