Personality[]
Sam Choksey only cares about himself and making money. His greed leads him to commit acts that are both despicable and stupid - something that gets him killed. He is also extremely cowardly, and will disregard the well-being and lives of others in order to save his own hide, even if this gets him in even greater trouble. Once The Greeks capture him, he can’t come up with a plausible lie to save his life.
Biography[]
While transporting a crate of fourteen trafficked women across the ocean for The Greek's prostitution ring, Sam Choksey gets an idea to make some extra money by pimping out the women to his crewmates. When one of the women resists, he beats her to death and dumps her body into the ocean. In a panic at being implicated in her death, he hammers the air pipe in the crate shut and leaves the rest to suffocate.
When The Greek discovers that Sam is behind the deaths, he tries to flee the ship in Philadelphia but is caught by Sergei Malatov and Spiros Vondas, who torture him for information before Vondas kills him. They dispose of his body by decapitating it, cutting off the hands, and dumping it into the ocean.
