Biography

Lieutenant in the Barksdale Organization, and nephew of Avon. He becomes increasingly disillusioned with the drug game over the course of the first season, and often shows distaste for the violence, brutality, and treachery that is part of it. When Wallace wants to leave the game, D'Angelo is supportive of Wallace, but Stringer Bell soon comes to suspect that Wallace is cooperating with the police and has Wallace killed. The news of Wallace's murder turns D'Angelo against the organization, and McNulty and Pearlman attempt to make him a star witness against the Barksdale organization. D'Angelo initially agrees but his mother convinces him to keep quiet and serve a long prison sentence for the sake of his family. In prison, D'Angelo distances himself from his family and seems to want little more than to be left alone so he can do his time in peace. Avon tries to insert himself into D'Angelo's life, but D'Angelo doesn't bite, as he doesn't want to be party to the harm his family does, nor to be beholden to them.
