Biography[]
With a riot underway to distract the prison's personnel, Big Figure, with his thugs, Michael and fellow convict Lawrence Andrews tried to open Rorshach's cell and kill him in revenge. When Rorschach trapped Lawrence by binding his hands to the bars, blocking their efforts to break the lock, Figure ordered Michael to kill Lawrence by slashing his throat with a utility knife. Michael used a welding torch to break into Rorschach's cell. Rorschach then broke the toilet and let the water flow out, making contact with the frayed power cable of the welder, electrocuting Mike.
