Biography[]
Hugh Campbell was a single father living on a moderate income in New York City, New York. His son was Hughie Campbell. Hugh was very loving and enjoyed spending time watching episodes of Remington Steele and eating Pizza Bites. Hughie however, had long outgrown these practices and admitted to hating Pizza Bites ever since he was eight. Hugh Campbell did not have a strong personality and feared that he had passed these traits down to his son.
The Supe known as A-Train conducted a home invasion of the Campbell household after discovering that Hughie played a minor part in events that ultimately led to the death of his lover, Popclaw. He threatened to kill Hugh, but Hughie and his new girlfriend Starlight were able to drive A-Train off.
Following A-Train's invasion of the Campbell household, Hugh Campbell was placed into the Witness Protection Program. [1]
