Supporting character #keys#smuggling
Brian Heder
An old-school Keys smuggler from the trade's heyday — still pushing product out of his boat yard with his wife Lori, and the landlord letting Jason crash rent-free.
Updated 16 June 2026
He’s got the look of a Leonida beach drifter and the instincts of a great white. Brian Heder came up in the golden age of Keys smuggling and never left the game.
Background
Product still moves through his boat yard, run alongside his third wife, Lori. Brian has been at this long enough that he rarely has to get his own hands dirty anymore.
Role in the story
He’s handed Jason a rent-free roof at one of his properties — the catch being that Jason pitches in on the occasional local shakedown and shows up now and then for a glass of Lori’s sangria.
