Haints, Edward

Edward Haints, a senator in the Illinois State Assembly, is running for mayor of Chicago. His campaign style wraps him in an "All American" theme, which heavily favors protecting the city's citizens by instituting stricter gun-access laws.
The reality is that Haints also runs one of the biggest gun-running operations in the state, and the strict gun laws he plans to enact will enable him to raise the prices of his own illicit operations. When Bill Collins gets a little too close with his investigations, Haints asks his friend and partner George Black to hire Natasha Radinov to kill the witnesses and derail the investigation. However, Haints also hires Radinov to kill Black as well, mostly to keep the profits of his gun-running to himself. (From Wikipedia)
