Atkins

A muscular Cenobite with pale blue skin, his face had patterns cut into it and ammo rounds were threaded through his torso. His mission for Leviathan was to control the situation in Philadelphia and prevent violence. Pinhead impaled him on hooks and warned him to stick to his task. Atkins told Mamiche and Matthew to give information to Jill and Lester respectively and felt his work was nearly complete. He attacked a drugs gang, making a survivor tell him where the rest were.

Day, Assistant D.A. Matthew

Young with slicked back brown hair and large, round glasses. He accused Louie of blaming others for the Mayors fall in popularity and said he would take care of the situation.
