Simon is a corrupt ringmaster, and slowly led his partner down the same path. Starks is an NYPD vet who doesn't seem to have an obvious problem with his back-door deals. You may spot him at some of the fights around town; watch your back.

Trivia[]
- Starks is one of three characters who does not speak in his intro or victory outro. The others are Suspect and Jervis.
- However, unlike Suspect, the developers added new blazin' yells to Jervis and Starks in The Takeover.
- It's strange that Jervis and Starks do not talk in their intro and victory outro due to them having voice actors.
- His blazin' move is the same as Arii's Russian Roulette back in Def Jam Vendetta.
- Starks is one of the few circuit fighters , who aren't real life people, to appear in at least one cut scene of Def Jam Fight For NY's story mode. The others are D-Mob, Nyne, Skull, Jervis, Lauren and Shaniqua.
- Strangely, while Submissions is one of his fighting styles as seen in Def Jam Fight For NY's fighter select screen, he may not possess any grapples that can completely wear out opponents' body parts. Shawnna, WC and Fam-Lay all share a similar trait in one of their respective fighting styles.
