Plot Summary[]
Season 1[]
Post is Keane's right hand man in the kitchen and all other operations in Oz. He, Keane, Simon Adebisi, and new inmate Paul Markstrom are the main Homeboys presence in Emerald City. When an Italian-American inmate named Dino Ortolani puts Keane’s gay brother Billie in the hospital, Keane and Ryan O'Reily see to it that Ortolani dies at the hands of Post. O'Reily works with the COs led by Mike Healy to transfer Post to the AIDS ward where Ortolani is currently working.
When Ortolani gets sedated and beaten down by the COs and put into solitary, Post pays one of them off and goes in killing Ortolani by pouring lighter fluid on him and lighting him on fire with a match. Through an investigation led by Sicilian staff and "family" member Lenny Burrano, Burrano and Sicilian leader Nino Schibetta convince O’Reily to give up Post as a means of getting in the good graces of the Wiseguys in the drug distribution throughout Oz.
When Post is given up to Schibetta, he is tied up and the mobsters give him one last chance to give up the man who ordered him to kill Ortolani. Instead he mouths off epithets to the Sicilian inmates and even states "Before I did it, I fucked him up the ass." From there he was mutilated and Schibetta has Post’s penis delivered to the cell of Keane as a warning over what will happen to the next Homeboy who crosses the Sicilians path.
Later, during the riot of Em City, Post appears in a hallucination had by Tim McManus.
