"Him can't die 'til he finish what him supposed to do."
"Kill my mother? But why? All over some Bushmaster Rum?"
"The rum is only the beginning."
―Sheldon and Tilda Johnson[src]

Sheldon is a childhood friend and partner of John McIver as well as a member of the Stylers. He joined McIver in getting revenge on the Stokes Crime Family for killing McIver's mother. In Harlem, Sheldon asked his cousin, Stephanie Miller, to work at Harlem's Paradise to gain information on Mariah Stokes. McIver, now Bushmaster, pursued Stokes to no end, but was actively stopped by Luke Cage, who did not like Stokes, but did not want a war. Bushmaster attempted to burn Stokes and her daughter, Tilda Johnson, in their brownstone, but they were saved by Cage.

In retaliation, Stokes murdered all of Sheldon's friends at Gwen's including Miller. They pursued Stokes further only for Bushmaster to be arrested. Bushmaster escaped by blowing up the van, but even his hardened skin could not nearly take the blow. Sheldon coerced Johnson, a physician, into healing Bushmaster with Nightshade. She did so and even helped them as she saw the horrible side of Stokes. Sheldon thanked her as Bushmaster left Harlem, having failed. He later got word that Johnson had killed Stokes and made peace with Cage now that their war was over.

Biography[]

Early Life[]

"We grew up together. Me, John and our bredren, Sheldon."
Gideon Shaw[src]

Sheldon grew up in Kingston, Jamaica with his cousin Stephanie Miller. He also had great friends named John McIver and Gideon Shaw. They often met with an elder named Anansi.[1] One day, McIver was selling food when a man bought one off of him. He called out for Sheldon and showed him the money. Sheldon congratulated him from afar. Suddenly a man shot McIver. Anansi grabbed him and ran to get help. McIver survived.[2]

War for Harlem[]

Aiding Bushmaster[]

"What's on the agenda, bredren?"
"Mariah. Until I change your mind."
"Never."
"We going to Harlem?"
"Nah. Better she come to Brooklyn. Or her people dem."
―Sheldon and John McIver[src]

Wanting to get revenge on Mariah Stokes, John McIver went to Harlem and Sheldon followed. McIver, known as Bushmaster, told them that they would take Brooklyn first, then Harlem.[3] Sheldon asked his cousin, Stephanie Miller to work at Harlem's Paradise in order to gain the trust of Dillard.[4] Sheldon later witnessed Bushmaster kill Nigel Garrison.[3] Bushmaster was met by Luke Cage, who was regarded as the hero of Harlem. Bushmaster had his men attack, but Cage stopped them all. Sheldon hid and recorded this interaction so that Bushmaster could watch it back and study Cage's fighting style. Later, Sheldon met with Miller at Gwen's. Miller told him about a man named Piranha Jones. Sheldon made fun of the fact that his name was like the fish, then decided he wanted to eat some fish so he asked Ingrid Mackintosh to cook him a snapper. Miller asked if she could quit Harlem's paradise, but Sheldon told her to stay a little longer.[4]

Chasing Piranha Jones[]

"Mr. Cage! You can release the likkle guppy. Or we war. The choice is yours."
―Sheldon to Luke Cage[src]

To help Bushmaster, Sheldon rounded up his men to kill Piranha Jones, who had relations with Mariah Dillard. However, Jones was being protected by Luke Cage, so Sheldon gave him a choice, to let Jones go, or to be killed. Cage did not back down, so Sheldon sent his men after them. As his men spread out, Sheldon drove around town looking for Cage. He found a little kid and asked him where Cage could be. The kid told him he was probably at Pop's Barber Shop.[5]

Sheldon's men finally found Jones and took him from Cage. They had Jones hack into Dillard's account and take her money. Then, they killed Jones and put his head in a fish tank with piranhas. Sheldon returned to Bushmaster's house and told him it was time. They found Dillard at her brownstone and set the place on fire with Dillard and her daughter in it. They returned to Harlem's Paradise and took it over. Sheldon met with Stephanie Miller as they sat on the balcony overlooking the party.[6]

Harlem's Paradise[]

Sheldon and Bushmaster resided in Harlem's Paradise and put up a bounty for Mariah Dillard. The New York City Police Department arrived and Sheldon greeted them, saying Bushmaster was expecting them. He then showed them up to Bushmaster's room and witnessed as Misty Knight claimed to have a warrant. However, they left without an altercation.[7]

Propositioning Tilda Johnson[]

"He needs a doctor."
"You are a doctor. He needs Nightshade."
"I don't have enough. I swear, I swear, I don't... I don't have enough."
"If he dies, you die."
Tilda Johnson and Sheldon[src]

Bushmaster complained to Sheldon about how his bounty on Mariah Dillard's head was doing nothing. Just as if he called it, Nandi Tyler walked in with information on Dillard. Sheldon, Bushmaster, and the Stylers arrived at her location: Rand Enterprises Research Facility. Bushmaster gave them a minute to give Dillard to them without repercussions, but nothing happened. Bushmaster decided to fire on the building. The battle ended with Bushmaster being defeated and arrested, but Sheldon escaped. He found Bushmaster later, having escaped from custody using a bomb. However, the bomb put him in fatal condition. Sheldon brought him to Mother's Touch where they forced Tilda Johnson to give him Nightshade.[8]

Johnson tended to Bushmaster and prepared the nightshade as Sheldon told her what the Stokes did to Bushmaster and his family. She eventually gave him the nightshade and he expelled the shrapnel as his skin hardened. As Bushmaster caught his breath, Sheldon stepped out, receiving a call. The person told him that there was a Massacre at Gwen's. Anansi, Stephanie Miller, and everyone else was dead. Sheldon stepped back into the room in tears as he told Bushmaster, claiming it to be too horrible to explain.

Bushmaster, Sheldon, and Johnson arrived at Gwen's and looked around at the corpses, including Sheldon's cousin, Stephanie. Bushmaster thanked Johnson for her efforts and she apologized before leaving.[2]

The Last Stretch[]

Tilda Johnson returned and gave Bushmaster a map to Harlem's Paradise that showed a bunker where Mariah Dillard would likely hide. She then offered a better version of Nightshade that would make him stronger, but could also kill him. Sheldon cautioned Bushmaster against this as he did not want to lose the only family he had left, but Bushmaster knew it had to be done.[9]

Bushmaster returned very injured. He, Sheldon, and Ingrid Mackintosh stayed in the closet at Mother's Touch. When Misty Knight walked in, Johnson steered her away before calling Sheldon back out. She gave Bushmaster a pain killer before they left. Sheldon helped Bushmaster and Mackintosh into a car and sent them on their way to Jamaica. Johnson asked if they had Anansi's corpse and Sheldon said it was in Delaware to be shipped to Jamaica. He then thanked Johnson before leaving. Following Dillard's death at the hands of Johnson, Sheldon visited Luke Cage at Pop's Barber Shop. He told Cage that Harlem was in good hands now. He gave Cage his gratitude before leaving.[10]
