Leford "Groundsman" Alonzo

"...wickedness close in, Aba Jah Negus I! Dark days ah draw near nuh... an' a 'ole 'eap a badness 'ere come. I cyan feel it inna heveryting suh..." - Leford heard telephoning home, roughly 24 hours prior to the Tokyo-incident

Born the middle child into the family of a devout Rastafarian couple on the island nation of Jamaica, Leford was effectively raised a part of what could be argued for being the single most repressed of repressed minorities. His upbringing thus characterized by the usual trials involved in a life lived severely below the poverty line and marred by gross political injustices - if asked, Leford himself will attribute his survival solely to his faith... the very same from whence he would likewise claim all of his powers stem.

For reasons perhaps fully known only to him and his family, Leford, packing lightly, put what money could be spared into a no-return plane ticket to Tokyo, Japan... helped to this end by a sympathetic community - all mysteriously shortly prior to the Filth outbreak in the local subway system.
