Graham Specter

Graham Specter (グラハム・スペクター Gurahamu Supekutā), miswritten Graham Spector, is a mechanic and one of Ladd's loyal devotees, going so far as to refer to Ladd as an older brother. He dresses in a blue mechanic's outfit and carries an oversized monkey wrench. He honestly might just be the most epic wrench wielding mechanics you'll ever see. I guess...

Biography
Graham worked at the Van Dyke Auto Plant as a mechanic (he is a brilliant mechanic, being able to do impossible feats such as dismantling a car mid-air). One day Ladd is sent out to kill the employees of the plant because they've been sending low quality parts to the Russo family instead of the ones they wanted, but as Ladd goes shooting around, he hits a car. This enrages Graham, and the two fight. Graham loses, but the two become friends.

Ladd is arrested and seriously injured after the Flying Pussyfoot incident. Graham then finds out that Jacuzzi Splot's gang is being sheltered by the Genoard family, so he decides to kidnap Eve and lure Jacuzzi out, eventually holding him to extort money from the Russo bosses (who want Jacuzzi) and attribute it all to Ladd.

By this time he already harbors deep admiration for Ladd, whom he refers to as Big Brother Ladd (兄貴はラッド Aniki wa raddo) or "boss Ladd" in the English dub.

He mistakenly kidnapps Chane, though, so Jacuzzi comes to him and offers himself in exchange for her. Graham is touched by his self-sacrifice, but the rest of his gang arrives, and so does Claire. Graham and Claire fight, but Graham can't land a hit on him, so he leaves him to Ladd and tells Jacuzzi he can visit the warehouse anytime since he pretty much owns it anyway.

When Ladd ends up in prison and basically leaves the Russo family, Graham is hired by Placido Russo to catch the Lamia, a gang Graham calls "circus performers". He encounters the Lamia in Chicago and defeats all of them.

Personality
Graham has an addictive personality. He has a peculiar tendency to speak frantically, repetetively, and often philosophizes violently and contradictorily—he will lament about his current state of affairs in the most negative way possible, before changing his mood and suddenly view the same issue in the most positive way as possible. It's mostly rambling, though.

He tends to do things on a whim, and he really is crazy, and quite psychotic. He has an obsession with breaking things, be it objects or actual people. He hates it when people destory vehicles he wants to destroy himself, just as much as Ladd hates people who kill those he wanted to kill himself. He doesn't actually kill people, though - he merely "breaks" them - because killing makes him feel guilty.

Ladd is his hero, and he worships the man. He will take things on his agenda if it means it'll be for the good of Ladd, or at least what he thinks is. (For example, he wanted to fight Claire, but realizing that he was subpar to the man, he left him for Ladd because he thought they'd be more on level)

Quotes

 *  “Life is insubstantial, so taking it brings me no joy. I don’t like it. I get nothing from it except feelings of guilt. So no, not for me.” 
 *  " Ahh, tedium is such a crime. It takes the limited amount of time that is given to man and rather than spending it in indolence or drowning it in pleasure, it just sits there, sucking, eatting it up. I can't put up with that. Tedium is a crime! Death to tedium!! Die die, won't you die now, die die die! Die you! Die ME!"
 * "Time spent in boredom is good. I think it's what allows the climaxes in life to reach their ultimate state of perfection. At least that's what I'm going to choose to think that that is the way life has been laid out for us this fine day anyway. Simply put, if we're wrong, we're wrong. These are known as the very essence, the very spice of life. There is nothing tedious in the whole world, at least not during these exciting times."
