- Not to be confused with Blackbeard.
Nelson Hernández Lucumí, better known as Blackie or Flipper was a sicario working for the Medellín cartel since its foundation.
Blackie was along Pablo Escobar since the beginning of his empire. He killed the Guerrilla members that helped Escobar by attacking the Colombian judges and burning all evidences against Pablo.
In the early 1980s, he kidnapped Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo and Isabella Bautista in Cali and took them to Pablo Escobar's estate in Medellín.
Blackie was with his boss in La Catedral, and he personally killed Kiko Moncada, by Pablo's orders. He escaped the assault on the drug lord's personal prison.
He was always by Pablo's side and one of his most trusted sicarios. However, he does have his weaknesses. One is that he was ordered by Pablo to detonate a car bomb in a commercial area which had heavy business with children at the time, as many kids were with their parents shopping for back to school clothes and academic supplies. Blackie carried out the attack, although he later felt heavy remorse about doing so. The attack also turned public opinion heavily against the Medellín cartel. Another vulnerability was that he had impregnated his girlfriend, and was disturbed by the possibility of ending up a posthumous father.
In 1993, he was arrested by the police outside the hotel housing Escobar's family in Bogotá for orchestrating the car bombing a few weeks ago. In order to save himself from being hanged, he gave away the location of La Quica.
In real life, Blackie was a good friend of Pablo and he was killed in 1988 by the police in a raid.
