History[]
Prior to the events of A Serious Flanders, Kostas Becker worked as a mob accountant for the Capital City Mob. He was involved in a massive deal with the Szyslak brothers mafia, which resulted in a massive shootout between the two mafia families. After the insuring gunfight, only the leader of the Szyslak mafia, Kostas Becker and Sherriff Ned Flanders 1 were left alive.
With the police on the way, Sherriff Flanders murders the leader of the Szyslak mafia before hiding the money in a hole of a tree. Before Sherriff Flanders can get away with the crime and the money, Kostas Becker reveals himself and demands the money. By slipping on the ice, Sherriff Flanders accidently ran into the knife in Kostas' hand, killing him and leaving a debt unpaid.
After a fire breaks out at his hideout, Colette and Seamus are too busy fighting to tend to it. After the building collapses killing everyone but Homer, Becker no longer has any bait for Ned. Kostas sends a very vague phone call to Ned, before hanging up.
After Ned flees to Minnesota within the next 3 years, Kostas Becker goes silent. Homer was Ned's lifeline, bringing him food, books, etc.
He later kills Fat Tony and his mob at Lard Lads’ Donuts.
Homer takes high procedure when trying to go to visit Ned, but Marge follows Homer without taking the procedures and is subsequently tracked by Kostas Becker, who begins shooting at them. Ned, Homer, and Marge try to escape the cabin, but Ned insists that they didn't need to run, and continues to run himself into a frozen river.
After following Ned to the river, Becker reads a story from the bible, when done, he brawls with Ned. Kostas won almost immediately, and as he was proceeding to kill Ned his dept book was kicked away. Kostas stops and goes after it, but as he ran across the ice it began to crack, then it breaks off, flips several times, and sends Becker to his death with his book.
