He is occasionally hired by slumlords in the city to weigh down bodies and drop them in the bay.{{book ref|wb|53}} In his youth he sold out his mother out of desire for her apartment, framing her for a theft. He is feebleminded and did not realize that he would subsequently become responsible for paying rent; he still lives in the apartment.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=54}} After
While fishing one night, he hears a voice in his mind that tells him where to go. He doesn't think anything of it as the sea often "talks" to him. The voice commands him to drop his net
