History
Much like many characters in the John Wick series there isn't much information about the Bowery King's past. At some point when he first saw John Wick the Bowery King was a target for John to kill. Wick cut him two times and gave him a choice to keep pressure on his cut and live or the try to shot him and then bleed ou and die. After that the Bowery King never let anyone else sneak up on him again and went from a pawn to a king.
At some point he formed his own group and took over a homeless shelter as his hideout. He recruited beggars as the eyes and ears of the streets, allies of the city. He trained pigeons as massagers he created a large network across New York with out the internet. No internet makes the Bowery King and his crew anonymous and untraceable.
