Who was MS Perkins?
Before we delve into Perkins' demise, let's first understand who he was. MS Perkins was a high-ranking member of the New York branch of the High Table, the secretive governing body of the assassin underworld. He was a formidable figure, known for his ruthlessness and cunning. His death, orchestrated by none other than John Wick, sent shockwaves through the criminal underworld.
The First Time John Wick Crossed Paths with Perkins
Our story begins in the first installment of the John Wick franchise. John Wick, a legendary hitman, had been living a quiet life in retirement. But when a group of thieves break into his home, stealing his car and killing his puppy (a gift from his late wife), Wick is forced back into the game.
The leader of the home invasion gang was Iosef Tarasov, son of Viggo Tarasov, the boss of the Russian mafia in New York. Tarasov Sr. was a member of the High Table and had a high regard for Perkins. When Wick starts picking off Iosef's men one by one, Perkins takes notice.
The Chase Begins
Wick's retaliation against the Tarasovs doesn't go unnoticed by Perkins. He puts a $2 million contract on Wick's head, which is then increased to $7 million. This attracts the attention of every assassin in the city. But Wick, with his exceptional skills and the help of his old allies, manages to evade them all.
The Confrontation
In the climax of the first film, Wick confronts Tarasov Sr. at his office. Tarasov reveals that he ordered the hit on Wick to teach him a lesson. Perkins, he says, wanted Wick dead to set an example. But Wick, driven by rage and a desire for vengeance, kills Tarasov and escapes.
Perkins' Death: The Plan
Wick's actions have consequences. The High Table, furious at the disrespect shown to one of their members, places a global contract on Wick. This means every assassin in the world is after him. Wick knows he needs to take out Perkins to end this once and for all.
In John Wick: Chapter 2, Wick travels to Rome to seek an audience with the Sommelier, an old friend who can help him arrange a meeting with Perkins. The Sommelier agrees to help, but warns Wick that if he kills Perkins, he'll be excommunicado - a man without a world, without a country, without a family.
The Execution
Wick meets Perkins at the Sanctum, a neutral ground where no violence is allowed. But Wick, with his quick thinking and exceptional combat skills, manages to outsmart Perkins. He kills Perkins using a pencil, a weapon that's not typically associated with violence, but in Wick's hands, it's deadly.
The Aftermath
Perkins' death sends shockwaves through the criminal underworld. The High Table, furious at Wick's actions, puts a $14 million contract on his head. Wick becomes the most wanted man in the world, setting the stage for the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum.
The Legacy of MS Perkins
Perkins' death marked a turning point in the John Wick series. It elevated Wick's status from a local problem to a global threat. It also highlighted Wick's unwavering determination and his willingness to do whatever it takes to protect those he loves and to exact revenge on those who wrong him.
So there you have it, folks! The story of MS Perkins' death and its impact on the John Wick universe. Until next time, keep your Continental coins close and your enemies closer!
