His Evil Ranking[]
His Villainous Deeds[]
- Mentioned by Gideon, he fits all the criteria for McDonald triad (bed-wetting, animal cruelty, and obsession with fire setting).
- He killed 3 people with bombs and gained the nickname "The Boston Shrapnel Bomber".
- In standoff with Jason Gideon and several BAU agents, he blew six of them up and a random hostage.
- in prison, he gains a cult like following and teaches dozens of homegrown terrorists how to make bombs, making him the cause for David Walker's high attempted kill count.
- Sadistically taunts Gideon by forcing him to talk about how he was "Outsmarted" by Adrian.
- When a man is strapped with a bomb caller, he attempts to kill Chicu Reddy (the hostage) and a bomb squad officer by pointing out the wrong wire to clip.
Why Doesn't He Stand Out?[]
- His personally villainy of Gideon is enough to pass the general baseline, but he still fails the extremely high heinous standards of Criminal Minds. While he has a victim count in the double digits and dozens attempted by proxy, this ultimately relies on fridge horror as except David, its unknown how much people he helped with bombing.
