He and Michael Scofield first crossed paths when Michael asks him to obtain some PUGNAc to allow Michael to feign diabetes and thus gain access to the infirmary (a critical aspect of his escape plan). Eventually, C-Note was caught and because he would not give up the identities of his friends, he was sent to Fox River State Penitentiary.Ĭ-Note eventually started working in the prison kitchen and gained a reputation as the 'prison pharmacist', being able to acquire any item or substance for other inmates for $100, or a 'C-Note' (which, in conjunction with his namesake's appearance on the bill, spawned his nickname). His brother-in-law, Darius Morgan was a truck driver and suggested that he could help transport stolen goods.
With the shame of dishonorable discharge hanging over him, C-Note was unable to find other work to pay the rent for his wife Kacee and daughter Dede, and resorted to criminal means. C-Note's commander dishonorably discharged him for his involvement in black market activities after C-Note refused to agree to keep quiet about the incident. While serving as a guard for a detention facility, he discovered illegal torture of several detainees and reported this to his commander.
