Lonnie Machin

Lonnie Machin was a part-time mob enforcer who was originally hired by H.I.V.E. to stop Jessica Danforth from running for mayor. However, after his disfigurement, he became an anarchist with the intentions of destroying both H.I.V.E and the Green Arrow

Mob enforcer
Lonnie worked for Rick Pinzolo, the Bertinelli crime family, and the Chinese Triad; eventually Rick fired him because he believed Lonnie was too unstable and extreme.

Stint with H.I.V.E.
Lonnie began working for H.I.V.E., where he made an attempt to stop Jessica Danforth from running for mayor. After Lonnie's set up attack, he escorted Jessica out. When a security guard noticed he wasn't in Danforth's detail, Lonnie attacked the guard with his electric baton. Before he could go after Danforth, Oliver threw him off a balcony. Lonnie was chased by Oliver through the building and over rooftops but managed to escape, though he left his fingerprints behind on a windshield.

Later, he was told by Damien Darhk all he did was for nothing and that he wasn't worthy of joining H.I.V.E.. Lonnie asked for a second chance and Damien told him he has one last chance, as his organization doesn't believe in third chances.

Lonnie later kidnapped Madison Danforth in an attempt to make Jessica Danforth drop out. Damien met with Lonnie once more demanding to know the whereabouts of Madison. Although Lonnie was quite pleased with his efforts, Damien was visibly shocked at Machin's 'sloppy' and extreme tactics, declaring that Machin had crossed a line. Damien scolded Machin, citing his (Damien's) preferences and respect for order, precision and discipline and telling Machin that all he (Machin) represented was anarchy. Darhk subsequently terminated his and HIVE's relationship with Machin and, before leaving, ordered Lonnie to once more clean up his mess.

After he was rejected by Damien, Lonnie pretended to free Madison but broke her pinky, telling her he changed his mind. Shortly after, Team Arrow arrived. Lonnie used a flamethrower as a distraction and slipped away. After Green Arrow and Speedy went after him, Lonnie shocked Speedy with his baton. He battled Green Arrow and eventually overpowered him. He was then attacked by Speedy, who knocked him into chemicals as Speedy used the baton, setting Lonnie on fire, though he was extinguished by Green Arrow. While being transported to Starling General Hospital, Lonnie escaped and killed 2 paramedics, before leaving an anarchist symbol behind.

Hunting down Damien Darhk:
Several months later Lonnie killed his foster parents. Now wearing a mask he went after Damien Darhk as revenge for his betrayal. He managed to find the lair of H.I.V.E. and killed all the guards present. However Darhk had anticipated his arrival and had fled. Lonnie stayed at his former home and placed a boobytrap as he expected a counterstrike from H.I.V.E. Instead Team Arrow showed up. He expressed joy to see them and then run off while planted rifles forced them to take cover. Thea chased him and he knocked her over with a explosive. He mentioned to Thea that he would not hurt her as she had helped him get to his true self. As Thea aimed her bow he asked her to kill him. The Canary interupted and Lonnie attacked her. However he got suprised and knocked out by Oliver and Diggle.

Tied up to a pole he got questioned by the Green Arrow. Lonnie refused to answer any questions and told him there was nothing he could do to him that he had not enjoyed already. Thea told Oliver he had to leave. Lonnie talked to Thea and told her she had burned away his weaknesses and now he had transcended to something better. He teased her that he knew she wanted to kill him and that she could not control herself. He mentioned he noticed the hunger to inflict death in her eyes. She was about to impale a arrow to his throat but then the cops showed up and she was forced to flee.

As the cops drove him away The Green Arrow showed up and broke him free. Lonnie told him he would not tell him where Darhk was. The Green Arrow set him free and told him he had to kill Darhk.

Lonnie was able to quickly track down the house where the family of Darhk was living. He painted his anarchy symbols all over the place and took his wife and daughter hostage. Calling Darhk to come he then prepared to torture them both while waiting. Team Arrow bursted in and freed the family. Lonnie was suprised that they were trying to stop him again. He engaged Thea and Oliver in a fight and quickly subdued them before running off. Thea chased him and tied him to a tree with a trick arrow. Thea prepared to kill him however she stopped at the last moment. Disappointed that she would not kill him he broke free from his bonds. He quickly defeated her and then seemed to pause for a moment before he run off.

Personality
Lonnie is shown to be a sadistic murderer and a psychopath, taking deep pleasure in making his victims suffer, as he was planning to torture Madison Danforth for hours.. He killed cops and paramedics even while horribly injured himself. He enjoys playing mind games with his victims, feigning mercy before resuming his torture. He believes that the natural order of things is chaos, reveling in the randomness of things. Lonnie is shown to be confident and ambitious. He was barely fazed as Team Arrow bursted in. As an enforcer, he had worked for different factions but was assumed by many to be too extreme. When Damien Darhk rejected him he nearly crossed the line against him by grabbing his arm while protesting.

Lonnie has no guilt or remorse for killing innocent people, and does nothing to try to avoid it, he has no sense of honor or morals.

After he was burned he somehow considered himself to be more complete and mentioned his weaknesses were gone. He became slightly obsessed with Thea and considered him burning him a Baptism by fire. Lonnie became bound on taking out Damien Darhk. When he met Thea again he recognized pieces of himself in her and wanted her to kill him. He also became fond of painting Anarchy symbols every time he had brought death.
