(100 Bullets #14 (fb)) - Daily News reporter Branch met Agent Graves, who gave him a briefcase with a dossier, a gun, and 100 untraceable bullets. Graves said that if he chose to kill the person who'd wronged him he'd receive no repercussions. Branch did his research, and could find no info about Graves in CIA, FBI or Interpol files, and when he handed the gun to a police officer friend he simply said it was registered, and told him not to worry about it. He thought Graves was a connected crackpot, but didn't believe he could get away with murder, so he adopted a dog from the pound, brought it to the park, and shot it. Branch was arrested, but cut loose soon after. He kept digging, and found that Graves had given many others the deal he'd given him. Minuteman Lono confronted Branch in his office, and said that Graves had immunity from his indulgences because powerful people turned a blind eye, but Branch's research was making some people nervous. He broke several of Branch's fingers and told him a little about the Trust for the sadistic pleasure of knowing he couldn't do anything about them. Branch went to the hospital, where Mister Shepherd told him the rest of the story of the Trust and the Minutemen. Branch couldn't take the heat in America, and moved to France.

(100 Bullets #10 (fb)) - The Minutemen took care of one of their own, covering him in gasoline and lighting a match.

(100 Bullets #5, 8) - Graves set up a job for Lono for drug dealer Topper, killing a rival gang and stealing a new strain of marijuana seed. Lono shot them up, and when a helicopter came to finish him off he blew it up. Topper paid up, and promised he'd never cheat Graves because he was frightened of him, and even more scared of Lono. Graves left with two million, and alerted the DEA to Topper's organization, so a gunfight ensued. Graves met with Lono at a cafe and handed over the money, but told him he was a bit excessive in performing his duty. Lono was still puzzling over why the Trust killed the Minutemen in Atlantic City. They were the only survivors, and Lono was the only one not in NJ at the time. Lono blamed their point man Mister Shepherd, but Graves made it clear he trusted Shepherd, who'd reported them dead to the Trust. Lono enjoyed being under the radar, but Graves revealed that he'd sent Lee Dolan to kill Megan Dietrich. He'd failed and was killed, but the Trust now suspected they were both alive. Lono said his game was stupid, giving victims of the Trust a briefcase with a dossier of their target, a gun, and 100 untraceable bullets. and Graves said he was exploring the concept of justice, seeing how far people would go to get it if provided the means. Graves was reforming the Minutemen, and told Lono about activating Dizzy Cordova. Lono said he wanted nothing to do with taking down the Trust and left. Graves informed their waitress that he'd just given Lono, who was walking down the street alone, two million in cash. The girl informed her boyfriend Carlo, and he assembled his gang buddies to go after Lono. Shepherd was listening to the entire conversation through a bug, and called up Graves.

(100 Bullets #18, 19) - Carlos ran over Lono with a car, snagged his briefcase, and fearing the heat fled to Philadelphia. Lono flew into Philly, and told his cab driver his priorities were finding a woman and then killing someone. Lono learned Carlos was staying at the Four Seasons, and repeatedly savaged his girlfriend Sophie. Carlos returned with his cousin Loop Hughes, and Lono killed him with a punch to the throat. Loop pulled his gun, Lono quickly disarmed him, and, seeing it was one of Grave's untraceable guns demanded to know if Graves was setting him up. He truthfully swore Lono wasn't his target, but lied saying he hadn't seen Graves since their initial meeting. He gave Lono the money his father Curtis left to buy his own life, and Lono warned him about associating with Graves.

(100 Bullets #31, 32, 34-36) - Megan contacted art dealer Karl Reynolds about acquiring a 16th Century painting depicting the founding of the Trust. The painting was in private hands in France, so Karl farmed out the job to Monroe Tannenbaum, who, along with his associates Lono and Echo Memoria pulled off the art heist. Lono decided to cut Monroe and Echo out of the equation, and told Megan he wanted an exorbitant fee for the work, holding the fact that she'd facilitated a crime in France over her head. She relented, and Lono got his first pay day. Monroe wouldn't explain to Karl how the deal went south, so Karl hired P.I. and deactivated Minuteman Milo Garrett to investigate him. Lono shot Monroe in the head to tie up loose ends, but Milo kept investigating. Megan met with Milo when Lono sent both of them to Monroe's apartment, only to find him dead, hanging in the shower. Lono wanted another meeting with Megan, having a new set of demands. Milo told her not to go to the meeting, deciding he should go and confront Lono. She told him most of her story, and he had the feeling she was telling most of the truth, which she could only do because she was rich and powerful. Milo went to the meeting with Lono, sitting across from him at a diner, and showing his gun to keep him seated. Lono, not recognizing his former Minuteman compatriot because his face was bandaged after an accident, opened up his jacket to show he was even more heavily armed, and pantomimed shooting the diners, including three kids that walked in. Milo was temporarily distracted, and Lono disappeared. Milo knew he blew it, and drank until he was courageous enough to approach Megan's estate and demand entry. She was hosting a dinner party, but did want to keep abreast of the Lono situation. He asked her what kind of painting was worth dying for, so she showed it to him. It showed the Trust under an archway that read "Croatoa," the word to reactivate Minutemen. Milo's memories flooded back, and he fled the party. He drove his car and remembered Atlantic City, causing him to crash and pass out. Megan found him, and brought him back home. She said she was excited by the danger he exuded, and they slept together. Lono later raided Megan's estate, stealing back the painting, and killing a number of Megan's guards. Lono was hooked up with Echo now, and they needed to get rid of Milo. Lono burst into his office with a gun, asking who he was about to kill. He snarked that he was Claude Rains, and Lono shot him in the head, killing him.

(100 Bullets #40) - Mister Shepherd approached Lono about a job for the Trust, eliminating a future threat in Raleigh, NC with a preemptive strike. Shepherd told him to make it messy, and Lono beat the man to death with a baseball bat before traveling to Pittsburgh with Echo to get his payday, a bag of $1,000 dollar bills, which he wasn't thrilled with. Shepherd told him war was brewing between the Trust and the Minutemen, and Lono said he refused to get involved, but Shepherd said he might have no choice. Lono gave Echo some cash to keep her from complaining at how bad their hotel was, then went to celebrate in the hotel bar. The cops arrived, having picked up Echo at the airport on her way out of the country. Lono's money was stolen from a bank, and they drew their guns on him. Lono overpowered one officer, grabbing his gun and shooting him in the head before backup arrived at fired, tearing Lono up with gunfire.

(100 Bullets #43-46) - Lono was patched up and sent to prison. The COs had no love for a cop killer, and warned the other inmates not to give him anything. Lono wanted a private cell, so he killed his cellmate Arvis, not leaving a mark on his body. Lono went to the showers to talk to Erie, the jail's shotcaller, demanding an outdoor job, real meat, cigars and other perks. Erie said that would cost at least $12,000 and Lono said he wasn't looking to business, just giving him orders. Erie and his friends attacked Lono, who brutally put them all down, even smashing Erie's face against the shower floor. He noticed Loop Hughes in the shower, grabbed his rear, and told him to visit sometime. Loop ran back to his cell, and lockdown was called, so he and his cellmate Cotton had to ditch everything illegal. Dirtz knew he just got out of the shower, and by the way he was acting he knew Loop considered himself a dead man. He told Loop he could help, so Loop nodded towards Lono's cell, and soon a group of COs entered it with nightsticks draw. Lono was sent to the infirmary with cracked ribs and tailbone, and was bedded next to Erie, who swore to mess him up. Lono wasn't scared, and earned the respect of Nine Train, who'd been sent to the infirmary by Loop. Lono accused Erie of snitching on him, but he denied it, and Train vouched for him, giving Lono pause. Shepherd visited Lono in jail, and Lono promised to kill him. Shepherd said he liked what a predictable dumb animal Lono was, and that he was counting on it, and when Lono asked why he wasn't in Atlantic City when the Minutemen went down, Shepherd replied that he needed him then, just like he needed him now. Lono realized Shepherd held the cards, and said he'd fight the Trust if Shepherd freed him. Shepherd said Graves didn't want that, because he was a loose cannon, but Shepherd had been tasked with training a new Minuteman after the murder of Milo Garrett. Lono said that was a shame, as Milo, with his awful attitude and grief he caused Graves, was the only Minuteman he could stand. Shepherd described Milo's accident, and the bandages he wore over his face before he died, and Lono realized he'd been the one to kill him. Shepherd and Lono agreed he must have wanted to die instead of becoming a Minuteman again because he didn't fight back, very uncharacteristic of him. Shepherd wanted him to train Loop as a Minuteman, and Lono said he'd kill him just to spite Shepherd and Graves, but Shepherd tried to convince him to view the big picture. Loop got himself admitted to the infirmary to kill Nine Train and Lono, and Lono returned to the infirmary after he'd shivved Train and was being beaten on by CO Dirtz. Lono attacked Dirtz, crippling him. Loop and Lono were kept in solitary in cells next to each other. Loop thought it was funny he had three people out to kill him, and by taking out one he'd taken out the other too. Lono warned him that the joke was on him.

(100 Bullets #58) - Lono and Loop got out of solitary, and Lono started teaching his pupil some particularly brutal fighting techniques. Lono got a phone call, and it was Mr. Shepherd who was dying from a gunshot wound. Shepherd offered Lono his job as Warlord for the Trust. Lono wasn't his first choice, but he had trained him for the role, never beating the rage and nastiness out of him. Lono wasn't thrilled with the prospect, but desperately wanted to get out of prison. Shepherd told Lono the triggerword 'Croatoa' that reactivated Minutemen, and asked him to tell Dizzy it wasn't her fault. Lono had no idea who Dizzy was or what he was talking about.

(100 Bullets #59) - Lono and Loop were released from jail, and met by Mr. Graves, who told them to bring Minuteman victor Ray back into the fold. They traveled to Chicago, and interrupted Victor in the middle of lovemaking with his friend Christine. Victor was nonetheless happy to see Lono, and told Christine to go to the store and get them liquor. Lono laid out Graves' plan of replacing the 13 families of the Trust with a single head, and victor said he was down and would get his bag right away. While he was getting ready Christine returned and Lono cornered her, threatening to force himself on her, disturbing Loop. She called out for victor who told Lono to back off, and Lono called him selfish. Victor told Chistine he was leaving and not coming back, upsetting her because she'd just told her husband about their affair, and Victor said that was her own foolish decision.

(100 Bullets #65, 66) - Lono kidnapped Fulvio Carlito, learning he was behind the botched hit on Augustus and Benito Medici in Miami. He decided to torture him, and take his time with it, so he sent Victor and Ray to enjoy themselves at a strip club. Lono started cutting pieces off of Carlito until he admitted his fellow conspirators were the houses of Kotias and Vasco. He said they made a deal with Agent Graves, and Lono said Graves would have to answer to him before dumping out a bag containing the severed heads of Carlito's two sons. Lono reported to August, accompanied by Crete, about finding Fulvio Carlito responsible for the botched hit on him and his son. Lono named the houses of Kotias and Vasco as co-conspirators, and Augustus said he was a fine warlord, although the families would find his torture and murder of Carlito excessive. Lono said he was just doing his duty as a warlord, and mentioned he could use some more warriors, suggesting Crete. Crete said his only responsibility was Augustus' safety, and when Lono passingly said people could still get to Augustus and reached across the table Crete was there in an instant to grab his wrist. Lono suggested he call a biug meeting and forgive the houses of Kotias and Vasco, so the Trust wouldn't worry about Graves still being operational. Lono'd sent Loop and Victor to go after Megan Dietrich, and Victor shot her in the chest, but she survived.

(100 Bullets #68, 69) - Lono, Loop and victor were in Atlantic City to see deactivated Minuteman Jack Daw, who was working in an underground fight club. Lono spread word that he wanted a fight with Jack, and Victor bet a huge sum on Lono, so the fight was set. Lono had the triggerword 'Croatoa' tattooed on his stomach, and when the fight started Jack's memories started rushing back. He was in a daze, and Lono beat him bloody. Once his senses returned Jack gave as good as he got, and Loop was scared they'd kill each other. Victor said they were only playing, one of them felt no pain because he was messed up in the head, and all the other felt was pain, but he wasn't sure which was which. Jack won the fight, and they both lost consciousness due to their injuries, so Loop and Victor loaded them up into their car.

(100 Bullets #70, 71) - The Trust attended the funeral of Axel Nagel, killed by Javier Vasco, and his children Anna and Lars were none too happy that the house of Nagel was to be absorbed by the rest of the Trust.Mia Simone told them not to fret, because they'd always be rich, and the politics of running a family in the Trust had a way of getting to people. Augustus, accompanied by Lono, said he regretted the death of Fulvio Carlito, but he knew the Trust had enemies within. He said he would forgive the past if the conspirators stopped, and told them they had to stick together to survive Agent Graves. He decided the house of Nagel would stand, and told Anna and Lars to decided between themselves who would lead it. The next day Lono met with Augustus, Dietrich and Crete, saying the Trust no longer saw him as a threat, so they'd averted a civil war. Megan questioned his loyalty, and demanded he hold his gun to his head since he worked for her. He complied, but grabbed her so that if he shot the bullet would kill them both, and described in graphic detail how he could have easily killed off every member of the Trust during their meeting.

(100 Bullets #72-74) - Lars drowned his sorrows in a private room, and Vasco and Vermeer joined him. They told him he had to start thinking like a member of the Trust, and said he was right not to trust his sister saying she didn't care who ran the House of Nagel. Vasco got him a scotch, his father's favorite drink. Anna was waylaid by her father's friend Otto, shoved into a car and met by Lono. They drove past the club El Quijole to see the tail-end of Lars meeting with Vasco and Vermeer, and Anna was none too happy to see her brother talking to heads of the Trust without her. Lono had her driven home, after telling her that Vasco had her father killed and insinuating that Lars was plotting against her with him, and she waited for her brother to return. She gave him a poisoned drink, and was shocked to learn he'd turned down Vasco's offer to run the house of Nagel, preferring to put his trust in his sister. She told him to put his drink down, but it was too late to save his life. In despair she spiked her own drink and committed suicide. The Trust voted to absorb the house of Nagel, and Megan told Augustus he'd gotten just what he wanted.

(100 Bullets #75) - Graves gave restaurateur Darren a briefcase and the picture of the woman who ruined his life in med school, saying that bad things happened only if you allowed them to. Darren wanted to kill her, following her to a restaurant and sitting down on a bench outside, dripping with sweat. Lono approached him, describing what it was like to kill someone upo close and personal, and asked if Darren cared about lives other than his own. Darren was confused, but admitted that his target had done a lot of good running a clinic since their encounter in school. He asked Lono what he'd do in his shoes, and Lono just smiled at him.

(100 Bullets #76, 77) - Remi Rome killed Mia Simone, tossing her out a window and destroying another house of the Trust. Graves applauded his abilities as a buttonman, but told him and Burns that repercussions would be severe, and one of them might be the next to go. He reminded them Lono worked for the Trust and Wylie and Dizzy weren't affiliated with anyone at the moment. Dizzy wanted to kill Graves for making her murder Shepherd, and Wylie called Graves up, telling him to stay away from her. Lono and the Minutemen were partying at a motel when Wylie called Victor, telling him he was with Dizzy, and Victor quickly told Lono, who wanted her dead. Lono called Megan Dietrich, who'd learned of Mia Simone's death, and her attempt to put him in his place were met with vulgarity. He knew Augustus was pleased that another Trust house was gone, even though Graves was responsible, and said to keep up appearances as warlord he was going to Mexico to find Graves, knowing he wouldn't be there. Lono and the rest of the Minutemen made their way south of the border, and all of them were howling for Dizzy's blood. Cole told Graves he had no problem taking out Dizzy and Wylie if they wouldn't go with Graves' plan, and Graves said he wanted Wylie to go with them willingly. Wylie was a natural leader according to him, but Cole was his right hand man because he actually trusted him. Wylie told Mr. Branch the Minutemen were coming, and they could use Benito Medici, who was with them, as bait. Graves sent Wylie's old friend Kuchenko and his criminal friends against Wylie, who killed every one of them in a hail of gunfire.

(100 Bullets #78, 79) - .Wylie talked to Dizzy, asking her if she missed her family, but she was firmly focused on killing Graves for forcing her to do something she'd never do of her own free will. Victor arrived at their place ahead of the other Minutemen, saying Wylie could use a friend. Victor and Wylie had a sit-down about why Graves and Shepherd had chosen Lono as the Trust's new warlord. Victor said Lono was perfect because he'd never had any true allegiances, and told Wylie how Lono had him and Loop shoot but not kill Megan Dietrich so Lono would be needed by the Medicis. Wylie resolved to have a talk with Graves, and Victor promised to keep Dizzy, Branch and Benito safe. Wylie told Branch the plan was still on, and as soon as he left Victor announced he had a job to do, and none of them were safe. He threatened to execute them and asked Branch for a beer. Branch found a handgun in the beer cooler and pointed it at Victor. Wylie met Graves, Cole and Remi, who were disappointed in him for not bringing Dizzy. He claimed Graves was working for the Trust, believing an old lie, and was involved with Dizzy because of a mistake he'd made long ago. Remi didn't want to hear his elaborations and shot him dead. Branch couldn't shoot Victor, who cut one of his fingers off before brutalizing Dizzy and Benito. He left Benito behind for Lono, Loop and Jack to find, and drove off with Diz and Branch.

(100 Bullets #80) - Lono took Benito to a cheap motel and locked him in an adult booth, demanding to know why he was alive. He said Graves would probably kill his father, and Lono would probably kill Graves, but Benito should have been out of the picture the moment he met Wylie. Victor delivered Dizzy to Graves, who said he wanted a private conversation with her. Victor was not pleased with Remi for killing Wylie, and when he protested that Wylie had drawn a weapon Victor said Wylie was a better shot than him, and if he'd wanted to kill Remi he'd be dead. Branch was only being kept alive as leverage against Wylie, so Victor told Cole to clean up his mess. Cole got Branch alone, and said he should have gone to Italy when he had the chance. Graves told Dizzy, who reiterated that she was going to kill him, that Shepherd and Wylie had died not to protect her, but to keep the two of them apart. After a longer conversation Graves introduced Dizzy to Victor, Cole and Remi as the newest Minuteman.

(100 Bullets #85) - Lono, Jack and Loop went to the gym so Loop could work on his combat skills with Jack. The gym's self-defense trainer was Sophie, who immediately recognized Lono because she still had nightmares about what he'd done to her and her boyfriend. When he went for a sauna she mixed bleach and ammonia and locked him inside, telling him she'd promised herself she'd kill him if she ever saw him again. Lono choked for air for a few minutes, and then she released him. She said he was vulnerable like her, but she wasn't like him, she was a better person.

(100 Bullets #90, 91) - Benito met with Lono, saying he wanted to celebrate his father's upcoming marriage with something special, bringing him one of the Minutemen. Lono asked alive or dead, and Benito said one alive and one dead. Lono reminded him not to treat him like hired help or he'd regret it, as Benito hadn't paid for his loyalty. Loop, Jack and Cole met in a diner, and Cole said he'd defected from Graves because things had gotten out of control. Jack said he decided against working with Graves because he'd given him an attaché with himself as a target, and Cole agreed that was messed up. Lono called and learned that Cole had the painting of the Trust's founding the Medicis were eager to own, saying he was willing to negotiate. Lono asked for Loop on the phone, and told Loop to shoot Cole in the head right away. Loop reached for his gun, and Jack instinctively attacked him. Cole and Jack threw him in the trunk, and drove him out to the woods, with Cole saying they were both masterless now. Instead of shooting Loop Jack gave him a head start and let him run while he fired. Cole asked why he let Loop go, and Jack knocked him out with a roundhouse, taking the painting for Graves.

(100 Bullets #93, 94) - Graves arranged a meeting with Javier Vasco, and Lono and Augustus planned on attending as well. Augustus found Graves choking Javier in his compound and made him stop. Javier again denied responsibility for Rothstein's death, and they discussed the old days and their alliance to change the Trust and it's old ways. Graves revealed that Javier offered to reinstate the Minutemen if Graves didn't interfere in his hit on Augustus, but that isn't ehy Graves helped stop it. Javier knew Augustus had no use for him anymore, and said that's why he was still alive. They bemoaned the new Trust being the same old same old and agreed that the Minutemen helped the Trust because conflict was their lifeblood. Only the heads of the Trust and Graves knew about Rothstein, so it had to be an inside job. Dizzy and Lono chatted outside, and Lono told her he was with Shepherd when he died, and his last words were say it wasn't Dizzy's fault. Dizzy said she still blamed herself, and Lono said he blamed her too, picking her up by her throat. They had a fierce battle, and Lono grabbed a gun from one of Javier's guards.

(100 Bullets #96-100) - Lono gunned down Javier's men and grazed diz in the head with a bullet. He bound her, put her in a car and drove off, calling Graves soon afterward to tell her he had his girl. Graves reminded him he was with Augustus and could easily kill him if Lono harmed her, but Lono said he didn't care because he was with Benito Medici now. Lono called Loop, and was shocked when Cole answered, and Cole promised to come for him. Lono called Graves back and said he still wanted revenge for shepherd, and Graves said Shepherd's death was his own fault. He was supposed to finish Dizzy's training as a Minuteman, and if Graves had been the one to activate her by saying 'Croatoa' he'd still be alive. He told Lono he had a triggerword that could calm him down and make him much less violent and unpredictable. Lono called him a liar, and Graves said he'd already given him the trigger. Lono hung up, and Augustus was devastated at the idea of his son working with Lono. Lono delivered Dizzy to Benito, but he became furious when he saw the battered and bloody Dizzy and shot Lono in the face. The injured Lono fled, and Crete organized his men to find him, while Benito tended to Dizzy's wounds. Lono ran from the Medici compound, and suffered several dog bites, but made it over the wall and to freedom. The wounded Lono called up Loop and gave him the triggerword 'Sunny Days.' He heard Victor bust in on Jack, Cole and Loop, and they all pointed guns at each other. Lono screamed that if they killed each other they were only giving the Trust exactly what it wanted, and the situation deescalated. The Trust brokered peace, with Benito as new head of the Medici and Graves in control of the former house of Vasco, and Lono stormed the Medici compound. Megan strangled Benito to death, and when Crete found his body Graves named Dizzy as the new head of the Minutemen and told her to investigate. The Minutemen stormed the compound, killing dozens of security. Jack Daw and Crete fought, with the battle spilling over into Augustus' alligator pond. Cole stabbed Tibo and strangled D'arcy to death, filled a room with gasoline, and waited for Megan. Lono ambushed Graves, but Dizzy shot him a number of times, and he fell out the window. Graves talked to Augustus, realizing he planned for the Trust to murder his son and Dizzy to kill the other heads so the only ones standing would be him and Graves. Graves shot Augustus dead, and the shot surprised Cole, who dropped his lighter, blowing up both himself and Megan. Dizzy said Graves moved against another member of the Trust and pulled her gun. Graves said Augustus was the one who ruined his life, compromising his principles, but allowing him to pass those principles on to others, and he pointed Dizzy's gun at his own head.

Lono had a cameo in 100 Bullets #26, 50.
