Lead	Delta	Male 50 - 60 Years old
Description Character Breakdown Delta (Dean) is a former cop with a severe gambling addiction which more often than not clouds his judgment. Years ago, while on the force, he had a call to a rural secluded house with his long time partner (Gordon Daniels). While Daniels saw something supernatural, Delta doesn’t believe it. In the years that followed, Delta’s gambling problems got worse, he took a loan from a criminal organization, one he knew Gordon Daniels was involved in, then fled. Where we find him in Greed & Gore: Delta has learned of a relatively unguarded stash of drug bust cash sitting in a secure room in a government building. He informs Sierra, the now head of a criminal family organization, who develops a plan to steal the score. Due to some issues, the heist doesn’t go as planned, and in a panic, Delta takes the crew right back to the secluded house where Gordon Daniels had the supernatural experience.

He has a secret we never fully reveal to the audience, it’s only done through hints, but he’s an actor researching a criminal role for an upcoming film, and he’s gotten himself WAY too deep. During his research, he meets Whiskey (who doesn't know his secret) and agrees to do a small job with him. Tango is surprised as he was really good at running interference for Whiskey. No one got hurt, and Tango got away. Where we find him in Greed & Gore Whiskey has approached him with another job. This time, it’s more serious but Tango is up for it. He enjoyed the last time, plus no one got hurt, and he figures this will be the same. Once things go south, he learns that this is not the case. Role in Heist: Tango runs interference and talks his way into any room/situation. His skills of improv and acting help him do so.

Having been someone who’s seen addicts, he knows one when he sees them, and he can tell Delta is desperate and desperate people make mistakes.
