Omar Devon Little is a renowned stick-up man who lives by a strict moral code and never deviates from his rules, foremost of which is that he never robs or menaces people who are not involved in 'the game' (drug dealing on the streets of Baltimore). Omar, who is gay, has had three partners on the show. Omar is the only major character on the series who claims to make a point of not using profanity.Omar was orphaned at a young age and raised by his grandmother, Josephine, who is largely responsible for his strict moral code (despite his criminal occupation). Aside from his grandmother, the most important person in his life is his confidant and adviser, Butchie. He attended Edmondson High School in West Baltimore, a few years behind Det. William 'Bunk' Moreland.For more than ten years, Omar has made his living holding up drug dealers and staying alive one day at a time. He is legendary around Baltimore for his characteristic shotgun, trench coat, facial scar, and whistling of A Hunting We Will Go. Every time people see or hear him coming, they run (even if they are children). He repeatedly demonstrates exceptional skill at surveillance and as a stick-up man and shooter, further contributing to his feared status as an efficient professional. He is highly intelligent and cunning, consistently executing well-laid plans, anticipating moves, and outsmarting his adversaries.Once a month, he accompanies his elderly grandmother to church. He has a brother, No Heart Anthony, who was incarcerated for a jewelry store robbery in the early '90s. Omar has a fondness for Newport cigarettes and Honey Nut Cheerios. He often carries a shotgun or large-caliber handguns, such as .44 Magnum (Desert Eagle or Colt Anaconda), .45 ACP semi-automatics, and .50 Action Express. Show less «
