Chaz Perrone was fundamentally dishonest and morally corrupt, yet he avoided violence entirely. His reputation among friends and acquaintances was that of a nonviolent person, which made his actions even more surprising. Despite his deceitful nature, he maintained a seemingly innocent exterior that concealed his true character.
"At heart Chaz Perrone was irrefutably a cheat and a maggot, but he had always shunned violence as dutifully as a Quaker elder."
"Chaz himself was somewhat amazed that he'd actually gone through with it."
