Albino (2024)

The Albino is a prisoner who rules the prison to which Lucas Hood is sent, and is ordered by Mr. Rabbit to terrorize Hood upon his arrival.

Introduction

He is first introduced to Hood when Rabbit visits the prison, telling Hood he will suffer in his time in prison, and insinuating that the Albino is on his payroll. Rabbit has some inmates beat Hood, and after a short while, sends the Albino ahead. The Albino easily blocks Hood's punch with his elbow, seemingly hurting Hood's hand in the process, and then proceeds to hold him and slice into his flesh with a razor blade. While cutting Hood, he notifies him that he knows "exactly how deep to go" as not to hurt him.

Time in the infirmary and the hole

Hood spends some time in the infirmary after the incident, where his attending physician tells him his days are numbered, and he is only protected from the Albino in the infirmary and in solitary confinement.

When Hood exits the infirmary, he suggests to the Albino that he lies to Rabbit and tells him that he made him suffer. The Albino scoffs at the idea, and says it is insulting to him. He says that he would like for him to be his bitch, but won't force him to do that, as in time, he is sure Hood will do that willingly to gain his favor.

After this talk, Hood is approached by a younger inmate, Billy B, who introduces himself as one of "The albino's bitches" and says he will soon be one too. Hood pulls out a handmade shiv and cuts the inmates face, landing himself 120 days in "the hole" (solitary confinement) to prepare and heal before meeting the albino again. (Nothing is said about extending his sentence, though)

Hood spends his 4 months in solitary confinement working out and preparing a plan for the time he is released back into the general population.

Reprisal

When Hood is eventually released from the hole, the Albino approaches him, referring to what he did to Billy as a "hate crime" with the disfigured Billy behind him. He asks one of his guys to bring Hood, with the intent of forcing Hood to perform fellati* on him, threatening him with a razor blade, and saying he will make him unable to stand up if he does not comply.

That was anticipated by Hood, who quickly grabs the albino's shaving blade in his and moves it as to make him dismember himself. Hood tries to use his state of shock and overpower him, but the Albino overpowers him nonetheless and tries to choke him. Hood then goes for his eyes, throwing him into a momentary state of shock, which is further exploited by Hood, who kicks him in the groin and proceeds to perform a choke-hold in the semi-blind and in-shock albino. As no other prisoner tries to help the albino, he eventually succumbs to Hood's choke and loses conciousness. Hood then brings curl-bar weights, places the albino's neck on them and swiftly to drops a 45lb (22.5kg) weight plate on his neck, breaking it and killing him. (The story is further elaborated in the banshee origin series than it was in the original series, using unused footage recorded in the original series' production)
