Biography[]
Little is known about Butterfly, including his real name. Butterfly is a resident of Meth Mountain and is clearly one of the more mentally stable members of the tribe. Butterfly is the main drug dealer for the tribe and doesn't appear to take drugs unlike the rest of the residents. Due to him supplying the other members with their drugs, he is likely a very respected and could possibly be the leader, along with Isaac Packer. This is demonstrated when he orders the rest of the inhabitants to attack Johnny "Coco" Cruz when he attempts to steal from him and flee the mountain.
Butterfly appears to have a very calm demeanour and doesn't carry weapons but has no issue with making threats or violence. It's unknown what led him to Meth Mountain or what he gains from it, as he is very different to the rest of the members.
Butterfly eventually departs Meth Mountain and makes his way back to Santo Padre, he continues to sell drugs and is involved with local gangs.
