The new boss of the Desperado Club — the late Astrid's 'husband' and father of Anaconda and Damascus Steel — leader of the Guild of Suffering.
Hamed is the leader of the Guild of Suffering and the self-styled 'husband' of the late Astrid — the boss whom Carl and Katia killed on an earlier floor. He has taken over her territory, the Desperado Club casinos, and is the father of Anaconda and Damascus Steel (the latter confirmed alive, seen by Princess Donut last floor). His name surfaces ominously when Splash Zone, Gluteus Maxx, Doctor Bones, and the other strippers who went into the Desperado Club to see 'the new boss guy, Hamed' abruptly become uncontactable — the system reporting they are no longer on the floor.
Whatever has happened to them, Carl fears an old score with Astrid's faction is about to reignite at the worst possible time; he warns his people to stay out of the club until the race crisis passes.
Unseen so far; the male leader of the Guild of Suffering and Astrid's widower.
The new boss of the Desperado Club whose arrival coincides with the disappearance of Carl's stripper crew.
