B. Dunbar (died November 19, 2018), was a guard at Slabside Maximum Security Prison, the ex-best friend of Peter Yorke and one of the guards who let the prisoners out of their cells for Danny Brickwell for his fight club. He was killed by Stanley Dover.
Biography[]
B. Dunbar was a prison guard at Slabside and at some point became acquainted with Peter Yorke. Although Yorke had a clean record as a guard, he was not well-liked by some of the inmates and some of the guards because of his self-righteousness. Nevertheless though, Yorke still regarded Dunbar as a friend. Yorke was unaware of this at the time, but Dunbar and the rest of the guards became corrupted by Danny Brickwell, Derek Sampson and Ben Turner.
After Oliver Queen was imprisoned, Brickwell made plans with Turner, Sampson, and Dunbar to establish a fight club. After Oliver was attacked in the showers by several inmates, Oliver asked Brickwell for information on who was putting out a hit on him inside the prison and where Ricardo Diaz was since Oliver knew Diaz was ordering the hit in prison. Brickwell knew Yorke would be unwilling to take part in the corruption of the prison, so Brickwell asked Oliver to get rid of Yorke in exchange for that information.
Three years later, he is one of the criminals that Oliver Queen meets again in custody along with Derek Sampson and Ben Turner/Bronze Tiger. Oliver is seen confronting Danny, Derek and Ben in the prison yard to injury Derek. Danny agrees to give information about Diaz in exchanges to get rid of one of the prison guards. After finding out that Yorke has a clean record, Oliver tried to warn Yorke about Brickwell, but Yorke ignored Oliver's warning and insulted Oliver's past as the Green Arrow, by claiming that Oliver invited criminals into Star City as a result of being a vigilante and that Oliver turned the law into a joke. Because of this, Oliver decided to take matters into his own hands by confronting Yorke about his bad behavior, angering Yorke by mentioning the names of his wife and son, and then stabbing himself. Once Oliver stabbed himself, he blamed it on Yorke. Although Yorke denied it, Dunbar restrained Yorke before he could take step further and soon Dunbar was assisted by several guards who also restrained Yorke. Yorke told Dunbar that he didn't stab Oliver, but Dunbar still had Yorke fired and put the prison on lock down.
With Yorke out of the way, Dunbar and the other guards started helping Danny Brickwell, Derek Sampson and Ben Turner with their fight club by releasing the inmates from their cells. Dunbar and the guards were even taking bets on who would win in each fight. Oliver and Stanley Dover crashed the club where they broke it up. After Brick informed Oliver that the Demon was orchestrating the hit from Level Two, Oliver decided the only way to get there was to stab the other guards. Oliver began to attack all the guards involved in the fight club. Oliver even stabbed Dunbar in the shoulder and knocked him out. Later, Brick ordered Dunbar and the guards to take Oliver down to Level Two.
Afterwards, the federal government learned about the fight club in Level Two which is why they had some of the guards who took part in it removed and sent in a new team of guards led by Felton to take control of the prison. According to Stanley, Dunbar was given a warning and Dunbar took it well as he started treating Brick and the others like all the other prisoners instead of treating them like leaders.
B. Dunbar was eventually killed in the showers by Stanley Dover who planted evidence to make it look like it was Ben Turner who murdered him.
Legacy[]
After Dunbar was killed, Felton accused Stanley Dover of the murder and led a group of guards to Stanley's cell to take him into isolation while Oliver Queen watched everything speechless. Oliver then visited Stanley in the isolation cell and asked if he was okay, to which Stanley replied that the guards took turns in beating him up trying to get a confession as they have yet to find the murder weapon.
As Stanley repeatedly stated that he'd never hurt anyone, Oliver asked to tell him how they said Dunbar's murder happened, prompting Stanley to tell him that Dunbar was killed in the showers and Stanley started to swear he wasn't even near that place when it happened. After Oliver reassured Stanley that he would help him, Stanley told him that he knew that if anyone could prove his innocence, it's Green Arrow.
A few hours later, Oliver found Ben Turner's shiv hidden in the shower room and informed Felton of this. Felton had the shiv examined to find Turner's fingerprints on it. Enraged, Felton led a team of guards to have Turner taken to isolation in Stanley's place despite the fact that Turner denied killing Dunbar and Felton then had Stanley released. Because of a slip of the tongue from Stanley, Oliver realized that Stanley killed Dunbar and manipulated everyone into blaming Turner for it, due to planting evidence.
Getting enraged at Stanley's betrayal, Oliver ended their friendship and went to Turner to make peace with him, Stanley escaped from Slabside to target Oliver, his family and team after killing former corrupt politician Kullens, Oliver incapacitated Stanley and had the SCPD transfer him back to Slabside. After Oliver proved to the guards at Slabside that Stanley was the one who killed Dunbar and Lyla Michaels using his A.R.G.U.S. connections to help, Turner, the man Stanley framed for killing Dunbar, was eventually released on parole.
It is very likely that murdering Dunbar, as well as Stanley's recent crimes; such as the murder of Kullens and two other victims, and the attempted murders of Dinah Drake, Oliver Queen, Felicity Smoak and William Clayton respectively, has increase Stanley's prison sentence from several years to life in prison; especially after Turner got early parole; which would never have happened if Turner was believed to have murdered Dunbar.
Personality[]
Initially, Dunbar appeared to be a thoughtful guard who had his ex-best friend, Peter Yorke fired when Dunbar thought Yorke tried to kill Oliver Queen. But Dunbar knew that Yorke didn't stab Oliver and still had Yorke fired; since Dunbar was working for Brick at the time, Brick knew that Yorke would be unwilling to work for him and wanted the guard gone. Dunbar then aided Brickwell to start a fight club with the rest of the guards.
After Oliver broke up the fight club, Dunbar started to treat Brick badly out of regret for aiding him.
