Sam Armand

Samir "Sam" Armand is the former corrupt district attorney of Star City.

Biography
At some point between May and October in 2017, Armand was appointed the district attorney of Star City. In this position, Armand represented the city in a case against Oliver Queen. However, following Oliver's arraignment, judge McGarvey allowed Oliver free on a $5 million bail and $500,000 bond.

Armand approached police captain Kimberly Hill, a fellow member of Ricardo Diaz's payroll, claiming he finally had enough evidence to run Oliver into the ground and end his term, asking for the full backing of the police force.

It is later revealed that the evidence is actually Roy Harper, who was found and captured by corrupt Star City Police Department officers under Diaz's payroll, with trying unsuccessfully to get him to testify against Oliver in court (regarding his identity as Green Arrow), however, Roy is eventually rescued by Team Arrow; Armand no longer has a case against Oliver.

However, he still refuses to drop his case against Oliver, even without Roy's testimony; this causes the members of Team Arrow, particularly Quentin Lance, to (correctly) suspect that Armand is under Diaz's payroll. After Anatoly Knyazev was arrested, Armand had him released due to no arrest warrant and because of his allegiance to Diaz confirming Quentin's suspicions. Armand and Hill are later summoned to the mayor's office by Oliver who confronts them about them being under Diaz's payroll. Armand reveals that his son has cancer and he needed Diaz's money after the city went bankrupt. When he and Hill refuse Oliver's protection for their families, they are fired before Armand warns Oliver that facing Diaz is unlike anything he has ever seen.
