Biography[]
Magden was born in Triboro, Queens, to a poor family with roots in Ireland. As a youth, Magden tagged everything from apartment walls to school busses with Angels of Death signs, as he was obsessed with the gang and wanted to join it ever since he turned seventeen. In 2001, he was initiated as a "Brother" in the Angels of Death, and he became a Lieutenant in the Gang.
In September 2008, Magden and ten friends were cruising around Astoria on their bikes when the AOD's traditional rivals, The Lost MC, ambushed them, as they were in the middle of a violent gang war that raged all across New York City and northeastern New Jersey. Magden was killed alongside all of his fellow posse members, and the Lost fled on their motorcycles, leaving a heap of bikes and corpses on the street.
