Jimmy Nevada is the head of New York’s biggest crime syndicates. He, like the movie gangsters he idolizes, was a refugee fleeing from his home country of San Carlos (a Central American nation engulfed in a civil war) and built a drug running empire from out of nothing. His goal is to seize control of the entire East Coast criminal underworld by any means necessary, even if it means doing it by brute force. Nevada has corrupted half of the NYPD to secure his vast citywide operations, and he has the best defense lawyers money can buy to bail him out of prison. The only person to stand in his way is Black Shadow, who Nevada has a personal vendetta on him (Shadow was responsible for the various scars Nevada received. Nevada has a brutal, violent temper, and he has an uncountable cocaine-abusing habit, which results in snapping into a delusional violent rage when provoked. He is a veteran with the gang wars pitting him and his syndicate against the Italian-American Mafia, the Chinese Triad and the Japanese Yakuza. Nevada has unlimited funding and connections with corrupt officials of the U.S. Military, who supplies his syndicate with weapons, technology and counter-intelligence, and with Latin America, especially having alliances and ties to the Columbian cocaine cartels who supplies him with the merchandise. Nevada’s base of operations is embedded in his 35-story penthouse skyscraper overlooking the Manhattan East Side. His headquarters is one of the most heavily guarded fortresses in New York, with armed bodyguard and state-of-the-art security systems. Nevada is a firearms expert. His preferred weapon is a full-auto M16A3 assault rifle with grenade launcher. In other times, he carries a Beretta 92F pistol with a backup Beretta .380 in his ankle holster. He is a dangerous opponent in combat, with a unstable attitude to match. Nevada has grudges against Black Shadow, The Cleaner, Johnny Rush, private eye Quentin Gunn, and FBI agent Matthew Mann.
