Cast of Characters
The Victims (“No Surrender Crew”)
Jamie (Goldberg) FlanzSeemed to be only playing outlaw biker. Murdered last so that he would suffer most because he was Jewish.
George (Pony) JessomeWanted to be surrounded by friends as he died of cancer. Dry sense of humour. Few, if any, enemies.
George (Crash) KriarakisNice Greek boy and former rugby player from a good family who thought he could clean up the club from the inside. Briefly the Canadian president.
John (Boxer, Prize) MuscedereLoved to say “top left”, meaning “from the heart.” Became Canadian president of the Bandidos only five years after he became a biker. Even his killers acknowledged he died like a man.
Luis Manny (Chopper) RaposoWorried that club standards were slipping dangerously. The bullet that killed him tore off his right middle finger, the one he used to diss the world.
Frank (Bam Bam, Bammer) SalernoSaid he’d quit the club as soon as he became a father, but stayed on and was murdered. Toronto president of the No Surrender Crew.
Killers and Guards
Marcelo (Fat Ass) AravenaMixed martial artist and pro boxer, with a habit of taking nasty beatings.
Brett (Bull, Beau) GardinerYoungest of the Winnipeg squad. Tried to use a stupidity defense and failed. Didn’t shoot anyone the night of the massacre.

Wayne (Weiner, W) KellestineHillbilly biker who loves Nazism and himself (not in that order). Signed his name with lightning bolts, to announce he was a killer.
Frank MatherLoyal to a fault. Was at Kellestine’s farm at the time of the murders because he needed a place to stay. Habitual criminal but not a gunman.
Dwight (D, Big Dee) MusheyDidn’t realize his leader Michael (Taz) Sandham was a liar until it was too late. A polite but frightening man.
