History
The son of one of the wealthiest men in Los Angeles, Wade is spoiled, narcissistic and cruel, and lashes out violently at anyone who refuses to give him his way or stands up to him. He is also a virulent racist, and thinks all African-Americans are his inferior. One night, he goes to club and drunkenly hurls racial slurs at young African-American man. When the man responds by making fun of him, Wade flies into a rage and bludgeons the man to death with a lead pipe. When questioned by Detective John Shaft, Wade claims to have acted in self-defense, but mocks his victim when he dies; disgusted, Shaft punches Wde in the face, breaking his nose.
