Robbery of Genghi Connie's[]

One evening Amos and other members of Stokes Crime Family, stood outside Genghis Connie's to hand out flyers. After the restaurant closed they entered Genghis Connie's to threaten Jin and Connie Lin into giving money to support Mariah Dillard. While the other men started to talk with the Lins Amos sat down at one of the tables. Following the refusal of Jin Lin to give them money Zip angrily told them to do so. At this moment Luke Cage, who had just entered the restaurant, told them that he did not like his tone and that they were being disrespectful to the Lins.

Feel the Pain — Amos' hand is broken by Luke Cage's skin

Following a brief conversation, Amos was told to show Cage what he was famous for. Amos stood up and walked towards Cage, where he tried to knock him out. Instead of knocking Cage out he was unable to hurt him, while his own hand and wrist shattered on impact. While screaming in pain he is thrown out of the window by Cage.^[1]

State of the Union[]

This section requires expansion

Amos was told to come to Harlem's Paradise for a so-called "State of the Union" with fellow members of Stokes Crime Family. During the meeting Cottonmouth and Darrell Mitchell discussed the financial situation after what happened at Fort Knox. When Mitchell mentioned Luke Cage Koko raised his hand in order to say something. The statement Koko made did not fall well with Stokes, who took out his gun and killed Koko. This shocked Amos, who sat on the couch behind Koko and got splattered with his blood.

Amos and the others were told to hit the street, every business between 110th and 155th, and take half of there money, to recoup the money Stokes had lost. If asked why they were they doing this they should tell them to go visit Cage at Pop's Barber Shop and ask him why they are paying the "Luke Cage stupidity tax". After being yelled at by Stokes Amos and the others left the meeting to hit the street.^[2]

Recruited by Diamondback[]

Following Cottonmouth's murder, Amos, Zip, and Sugar returned to Harlem's Paradise to find Shades blaming them for not protecting Cottonmouth. Zip argued that he forced them to leave. Shades then told them they were working for him and Diamondback from then on.^[3] He was present the following night at Harlem's Paradise.^[4]
