Biography[]

Season 4[]

Monk is a lieutenant in the Stanfield Organization. Marlo Stanfield tasked Monk with handing out money to school children to enhance his reputation. Monk is also responsible for all phone activity in the organization and often acts as an intermediary between Marlo and the rest of the organization. When Cutty attempts to talk to Michael Lee about his conduct at Cutty's gym, Monk shoots Cutty in the leg for refusing to back off, only refraining from killing him due to Michael's intervention. Monk was partly responsible for the death of Preston Broadus as he saw him with James McNulty and reported it to Marlo, who then ordered Bodie's killing.
