Biography
Dealing with Ramsey Rosso
Romero took the place of Gat when providing Ramsey Rosso with a gun. Rosso having previously been promised $500, Romero upped the price to $5,000. Not having the money, but promising to pay it as soon as he could, Rosso attempted to steal the gun, but was knocked to the ground by Romero. Mitch aimed the gun at Ramsey, but Ramsey extended a tendril at Mitch, killing him. Rosso took his body back to his lab, where he experimented on it. Mitch's dead body suddenly came back to life, knocking Rosso out.[1]
Romero as a Blood Brother.
