The Pitcher was Fagin's chief drug tester and his best hitman. He possessed an abnormally strong metabolism. Any drug that made him sick would kill someone else, which was why Fagin found him to be a useful guinea pig (if it made the Pitcher sick, Fagin would not sell it). The Pitcher became so tolerant to drugs that only Fagin's newest drugs gave him any "satisfaction". The Pitcher was extremely tolerant to hab (feeling nothing from using it 650 times) and used turk, crab, snoke and the extremely rare bog. The Pitcher was such an efficient hitman that no one had escaped his grasp for years.
