Law & Order: Organized Crime[]
After Jon Kosta accused one of Webb's gang members of stealing his drugs, Kosta invited Webb, Nova and Flowers to discuss the consequences. When they all arrived, Webb tried to talk Kosta out of hurting his gang members and made Flowers apologise for stealing. When Kosta put a gun to Flowers' head, Webb managed to talk him out of it and they formed an alliance. In Kilbride's office, Kilbride had Nova come in while he put money in an envelope to give to Webb. Nova took the money and gave the money directly to Webb. Later, Webb hosted a meeting in his office with Hugo, Kilbride and Nova attending. Webb announced that Nova will be promoted to one of five vice presidents of the Marcy Corporation and Nova managed to get more information on Kilbride. With Nova as Kilbride's aid, Nova attended Kilbride and Webb's ceremony where Kilbride announced the opening of the Leon Kilbride Community Library. Later that night, Kilbride met with Webb's men about the building construction and Kilbride told them that he and Webb planned for them to make delays and stoppages to they can go to the government and ask for more money.
During a blackout caused by Richard Wheatley which crippled the city, Webb continued to make himself look like the good guy by helping people during the blackout. Nova and Hugo met with Webb after Webb ordered a hit on a man named Joe. Hugo told them that they got a bead on him but Webb started telling Hugo off for assuming what he wants. Webb then gave an old lady a package full of goods to keep her safe during the blackout. It was revealed that Webb was married to a beautiful woman named Cassandra, who owns an art gallery. Webb met with Kilbride and Cassandra at the art gallery and Webb tells Kilbride about the problem at the warehouse with one of his gang members. Later that day, Webb held a meeting with Hugo, Nova and the rest of the Marcy Killers. Webb announced that Nova will be promoted to second-in-command of the entire Marcy Corporation and one of Webb's gang members stood up and started badmouthing Webb and Nova.
As a result, Webb grabbed him by the neck and smashed his face on the table before picking up a knife and stabbing him in the hand. Webb warned him for the second time claiming that there will not be a third time. Webb attended Cassandra's event at the art gallery before being taken away by Nova who told them about Hugo and Flip meeting him about the robbery of drug money. Webb started threatening cops and ordered a hit on corrupt police detective Frank Donnelly and Elliot Stabler, who, unbeknownst to him, is working undercover for the Organized Crime Unit. Hugo held them both hostage before attempting to rob them but Stabler shot Flip during the process. One day, Webb overheard two gang members badmouthing him and the rest of the Marcy Killers. Webb approaches them and threatens them before telling one gang member to leave. Webb then pulled out a gun and shot him in the head. Webb then started antagonizing the other gang member before shooting him in the head too.
