Akbey Hicks

An associate and close friend of Shi-Long Lang, Hicks was put on the Interpol investigation into the smuggling ring. He was paired up with the prosecutor Franziska von Karma and took iFly Airlines Flight I-390 from Borginia to the United States to meet up with her.

During the flight, Hicks went down to the cargo hold with flight attendant Cammy Meele to check on the priceless Alif Red statue. Hicks suspected that it had been swapped with a fake during a stopover in Zheng Fa. Unbeknownst to him, Meele was actually working undercover for the smuggling ring. When Hicks began taking pictures of the cargo hold, she panicked and pushed him off the stairs, killing him.
