Wax Baines was a pimp from Harlem.

Biography[]

A known pimp and criminal, Baines operated in Harlem from the late 1920s to the late 1940s. It was during this time that he attacked a local girl viciously with a razor and was in the process of attempting a similar attack on another girl when he was found by police officer Al Neri, who arrested Baines, yet leaving him with a nasty injury to the head that had been inflicted by his heavy steel flashlight. Baines died several hours later in a local hospital, and Neri was subsequently kicked off the force and was going to be charged with manslaughter until the Corleones heard about the story, and had the charges dropped, at which point he went to work for them out of gratitude.
