Biography: 

For a reason that is not explained, Boon shot five times at this "negro on the street in Jefferson" (218). Although the man was unhit, he remains the exception to Ike’s assessment of Boon as one who is unlikely to respond violently to insult. (When this episode is described again in The Reivers, the man is named Ludus.)
