Death

He is shown to be one of the leading members of the Tail, and was a member of the small group in charge of planning the rebellion. During his birthday, he requested an hour alone with the only phone in the Tail. His request was accepted by the other Tailies, and he played music whilst looking at old photographs of his wife. Shortly after, he hung himself with a piece of cloth.
