History[]
El Baile de la muerte[]
When Roberta returned to Roanapur, she hired hitmen from Bren the Black Death's murder business to act as a shield for her against the Grey Fox soldiers. For once, Bren went to Roanapur and Filano accompanied him. On a rooftop, the two men spied on the hotels that the Grey Fox squads were staying in, and Filano used his radio to contact Bugsy Lance, one of the main hitmen. While waiting, Filano used a portable TV to watch Speed Racer, asking Bren if he wanted to watch while they surveyed the area.[1] Soon, several of the hitmen were easily killed by the American soldiers, with Filano remarking that they fulfilled their role of making Grey Fox waste ammunition on them.[2]
Later after Roberta was forced to escort herself out of Roanapur, Filano and Bren talked with Bugsy on a rooftop. While Bugsy demanded an explanation, Filano tripped his leg to make him fall off the roof, killing the hitman. As they packed up and left, Filano remarked that killing people without a gun was better since the death could be made to look accidental, such as pushing people down stairs.[3]
