Prior to this attack, the Westler State crime division had been on the Axe's case for years. They had been looking for ways to bring him down.
The Axe was one of the most slippery criminals Westler City had ever encountered. Although he painted the picture of a legit business entrepreneur, the crime department labelled him as one of the most successful criminal-minded men in the city.
Ranging from drug smuggling to women abuse and trafficking, extortion and illegal sale of weapons, the Axe was a successfully made crime master with a legit business card.
Thanks to his money laundering and clubhouse activities, he had a lot of statesmen in his pocket, making it difficult for them to prosecute him. He always had a perfect alibi or the perfect antidote for any heinous crime.
