Background[]
Rosalie Carbone meeting with Mariah Stokes
- "Rosalie Carbone wants to take over Harlem. The same way her father did back in the day when he tried to push the Stokes out of Harlem's Paradise. She's been waiting for an opening like this, and now she has one. I don't like you, Carl. I never have, I never will. But you are the only person that can make this right."
- âShades to Luke Cage[src]
Because of the arrest of Mariah Stokes, the "wall" around Harlem fell and the situation had grown dangerous because of gang wars and chaos on the streets. Rosalie Carbone of the Carbone Crime Family decided to take the opportunity and took over Harlem. She continued to throw oil on that bonfire to make her job easier.
While Luke Cage tried to figure on who was responsible for the attacks, he was visited by Shades. Despite the tension, Shades explained that Carbone was responsible for the current situation in Harlem and advised Cage to take control of Harlem in order to protect it.[1]
