(100 Bullets #5) - Agent Graves resurfaced, playing his game and sending a nobody whose life Megan Dietrich ruined to kill her. She survived, and informed Augustus, who was furious that one of the Minutemen still lived.

(100 Bullets #23, 24) - Augustus Medici called a meeting of the Trust in Atlantic City after learning from Mr. Shepherd that in addition to Agent Graves, Cole Burns of the Minutemen was still alive. Benito Medici met with Megan Dietrich, and she told him to stop trying to act like Shepherd and looking at him like a father figure. She said he wasn't cut out to be a tough guy, and he was better off learning from Augustus than one of his soldiers. They met Daniel Peres at the pool, and Peres worried that Benito didn't appreciate the vision of his father. Benito asked him why Augustus tried to eliminate the Minutemen, and Peres said it was for the good of the Trust and advancing their success and money gains. Augustus arrived with bodyguard Crete, and greeted his son. The previous day Benito played a private card game, and was almost beaten by Hank Kowalski, who desperately needed the money, but raised the stakes far beyond what he could play, forcing him to fold his hand, which was probably a winner. Hank was stalking Benito, and Cole Burns was observing him, happily telling him Benito's room number. Benito played poker at the casino, and Megan was annoyed that he wasn't paying attention to her; telling him he was off his game. Mia Simone arrived, and took Peres, Benito and Megan out to dinner. August partied with a prostitute, and couldn't help but brag about the power he wielded.

(100 Bullets #25) - Once the 13 families arrived Augustus began the meeting, reminding everyone of how the Minutemen was created to keep them in check, to make sure no family turned against the other. He said they once they started trusting each other the Minutemen became obsolete, and an impediment to their success. Javier Vasco felt the Minutemen had been necessary, and Augustus knew he felt that way because the group once settled a bloody dispute between his family and that of Axe Nagal, but assured him they were no longer needed. He denied that Graves and any other surviving Minutemen were a threat, and Daniel Peres told him Graves would come after him first because they'd once been close friends. Peres got a call, and said he had urgent business to attend to, but since he insisted on leaving the meeting Augustus told Megan Dietrich to accompany him. She complied, but left him when she saw Benito Medici on a gambling binge. Peres' threat was given at the command of Agent Graves, who wanted to make sure he did as promised. Graves introduced him to Cole, thanked him, and then stabbed him to death.

(100 Bullets #39) - Augustus fed his pet alligators, and told Crete to fetch his car. He was surprised to see his son up early, but Benito said he'd just gotten home from a long night of partying. Augustus was going to Little Havana, and Benito wanted to accompany him, no to see how he did business, but to get some coffee. Crete drove them, and Augustus said he wanted Benito to show he was capable of responsibility. Benito said he wanted nothing to do with responsibility, and Augustus replied that while he'd never want for anything in life he still felt it was his duty as a father that his son could look after himself. Benito said that was Crete's job, and hopped out of the car, ending the conversation. He spent his time at the cafe drinking coffee and hitting on a young woman while Augustus played dominos with some local friends. Augustus met with Shepherd, saying he hadn't been able to learn anything from Graves, making his boss suspicious. He reminded Shepherd he was giving him a lot of leeway allowing him to handle Graves his own way. Shepherd said he'd changed his mind because the peace among the Trust was in jeopardy. He'd spotted five hitmen, and when they made him they backed off. He reasoned someone in the Trust hired them, because anyone Graves hired would not have back down from him. Augustus panicked when he realized his son was in danger, and they rushed to find him. The hitmen shot the girl Benito was talking to, splattering him in blood, but Shepherd gunned down the hitmen before they could hurt him. Augustus demanded Benito egt in the car with him and go home, and Benito said it was the right time for his father to teach him how to run the Trust.

(100 Bullets #60, 62, 63) - Benito and Augustus bet on a game of tennis, and when Benito lost his temper flared and he wanted to go double or nothing. Augustus said his game was decent but his instincts were poor. Crete informed them that Megan had arrived at the Delano hotel, and Augustus told his son to get ready for business. Crete drove them to the Calder stakes, where Augustus had a horse in the race. Benito wanted to gamble on the race, and Augustus growled that he better not think about betting against his horse. Benito went to place his bet, and Graves showed up in the stable. Augustus cooked dinner for Benito and Megan, and told them his fears that one or more of the houses was working against him. Megan suspected Javier Vasco of conspiring with Graves, because he feared the rise of the Medici house, and revealed that Cole Burns had given her a cryptic warning about other houses moving against the Medicis. Benito thought Cole couldn't be trusted, and had a feeling they were being played. Megan agreed, but said she still knew who her enemies were, and they had to find out which one was trying to manipulate them for their own ends. Megan said her house would stand with the Medicis, and Augustus had a few final plans to make with her, but asked Benito to leave. He told Benito he was not ready to be involved in a civil war, so he would stay out of it. Benito was angry, but acquiesced. Augustus met with Graves, who reminded him that if they carried out their plan, there was no turning back.

(100 Bullets #66) - Lono reported to August, accompanied by Crete, about finding Fulvio Carlito responsible for the botched hit on him and his son. Lono named the houses of Kotias and Vasco as co-conspirators, and Augustus said he was a fine warlord, although the families would find his torture and murder of Carlito excessive. Lono said he was just doing his duty as a warlord, and mentioned he could use some more warriors, suggesting Crete. Crete said his only responsibility was Augustus' safety, and when Lono passingly said people could still get to Augustus and reached across the table Crete was there in an instant to grab his wrist. Lono suggested he call a biug meeting and forgive the houses of Kotias and Vasco, so the Trust wouldn't worry about Graves still being operational.

(100 Bullets #68, 69) - Megan recovered from her gunshot wound, inflicted by Victor Ray, and Augustus visited her, saying it seemed she'd completely lost her confidence. He told her there would be a summit, but to keep the peace she wouldn't breathe a word about her assassination attempt, or seek vengeance. She found it a hard pill to swallow, but agreed. Augustus told her to wear her wound like a badge of honor, and they made passionate love.

(100 Bullets #70, 71, 74) - The Trust attended the funeral of Axel Nagel, killed by Javier Vasco, and his children Anna and Lars were none too happy that the house of Nagel was to be absorbed by the rest of the Trust. Mia Simone told them not to fret, because they'd always be rich, and the politics of running a family in the Trust had a way of getting to people. Augustus, accompanied by Lono, said he regretted the death of Fulvio Carlito, but he knew the Trust had enemies within. He said he would forgive the past if the conspirators stopped, and told them they had to stick together to survive Agent Graves. He decided the house of Nagel would stand, and told Anna and Lars to decided between themselves who would lead it. The next day Lono met with Augustus, Dietrich and Crete, saying the Trust no longer saw him as a threat, so they'd averted a civil war. Megan questioned his loyalty, and demanded he hold his gun to his head since he worked for her. He complied, but grabbed her so that if he shot the bullet would kill them both, and described in graphic detail how he could have easily killed off every member of the Trust during their meeting. Lono turned Anna and Lars against each other, leading to Anna poisoning her brother and committing suicide in despair. The Trust overwhelmingly voted to absorb the house of Nagel. Lono celebrated his success with a cigar with Crete, and Megan told Augustus he'd gotten exactly what he wanted.

(100 Bullets #77) - Lono called Megan Dietrich, who'd learned of Mia Simone's death, and her attempt to put him in his place were met with vulgarity. He knew Augustus was pleased that another Trust house was gone, even though Graves was responsible, and said to keep up appearances as warlord he was going to Mexico to find Graves, knowing he wouldn't be there.

(100 Bullets #85) - Crete trained in the gym with Benito, and told him he was not acting like the heir to the house of Medici. He'd guessed that Benito ran away because of a woman, and told him to tell Augustus, saying he'd understand. Augustus prepared a lamb roast for Benito and Megan, hoping Benito would remember a fond childhood activity, but he was distant and abrasive. Megan and Augustus were planning to be married, and he sniped at her while she fired back at him for being immature and feeling threatened. Benito harped on taking the Minutemen more seriously after the fall of the house of Rhone and said they needed to be meaner than their former protectors.

(100 Bullets #90) - Benito spied on his father and Megan in bed, and when MNegan awoke she closed the door on him. Benito met with Lono, sayimng he wanted to celebrate his father's upcoming marriage with something special, bringing him one of the Minutemen. Lono asked alive or dead, and Benito said one alive and one dead. Lono reminded him not to treat him like hired help or he'd regret it, as Benito hadn't paid for his loyalty.

(100 Bullets #91, 92) - Former Minuteman Will Slaughter killed Mr. Rothstein, a man with connections to the CIA and FBI that supplied Graves with his attaches of 100 untraceable bullets. Slaughter informed D'arcy that Graves game was over, and they'd see how he'd react. Augustus was furious, and called Javier, suspecting him of the hit. Javier said he was happy to see Graves' power taken away, but he wasn't the one responsible.

(100 Bullets #93, 94, 96) - Graves arranged a meeting with Javier Vasco, and Lono and Augustus planned on attending as well. Augustus found Graves choking Javier in his compound and made him stop. Javier again denied responsibility for Rothstein's death, and they discussed the old days and their alliance to change the Trust and it's old ways. Graves revealed that Javier offered to reinstate the Minutemen if Graves didn't interfere in his hit on Augustus, but that isn't why Graves helped stop it. Javier knew Augustus had no use for him anymore, and said that's why he was still alive. They bemoaned the new Trust being the same old same old and agreed that the Minutemen helped the Trust because conflict was their lifeblood. Only the heads of the Trust and Graves knew about Rothstein, so it had to be an inside job. Dizzy and Lono chatted outside, and Lono told her he was with Shepherd when he died, and his last words were say it wasn't Dizzy's fault. Dizzy said she still blamed herself, and Lono said he blamed her too, picking her up by her throat. They had a fierce battle, and Lono grabbed a gun from one of Javier's guards. Lono gunned down Javier's men and grazed diz in the head with a bullet. He bound her, put her in a car and drove off, calling Graves soon afterward to tell her he had his girl. Graves reminded him he was with Augustus and could easily kill him if Lono harmed her, but Lono said he didn't care because he was with Benito Medici now. Lono called Loop, and was shocked when Cole answered, and Cole promised to come for him. Lono called Graves back and said he still wanted revenge for shepherd, and Graves said Shepherd's detah was his own fault. He was supposed to finish Dizzy's training as a Minuteman, and if Graves had been the one to activate her by saying 'Croatoa' he'd still be alive. He told Lono he had a triggerword that could calm him down and make him much less violent and unpredictable. Lono called hima liar, and Graves said he'd already given hoim the trigger. Lono hung up, and Augustus was devastated at the idea of his son working with Lono. Lono delivered Dizzy to Benito, but he became furious when he saw the battered and bloody Dizzy and shot Lono in the face.

(100 Bullets #97-100) - The injured Lono fled, and Crete organized his men to find him, while Benito tended to Dizzy's wounds. Lono ran from the Medici compound, and suffered several dog bites, but made it over the wall and to freedom. Augustus told Graves he was done with his master plan, but Graves disagreed and would not be swayed when Augustus told him he should be happy the Minutemen were reinstated. They discussed meeting with Megan, Tibo and D'arcy, the remaining heads of the Trust. The remaining heads were having their own meeting, and Megan told them how Augustus had been the one to orchestrate the assassination of the heads of houses and the houses absorption into his and Javier's domain. D'arcy had her man will slaughter kill Javier with a sniper rifle, and Augustus was even more apprehensive about brokering peace in the Trust. Megan, Tibo and D'arcy arrived at the Medici compound, and Benito said he wasn't going to be in on the meeting on his father's orders. He checked in on Dizzy to see how she was recuperating, and she said she wished his aim was better, because Lono being alive worried her. Word spread to the Minutemen that the war against the Trust was over, but that didn't sit well with Victor. Victor, Jack, Cole and Loop buried Echo in the swamp, with the Trust's painting wrapped around her body, and decided to crash the Trust's meeting, and Lono had the same idea. The Trust took Augustus' vote away, so he resigned as head of his family, giving it to Benito. The Trust demanded Graves step down as head of the Minutemen, but said he could pick his replacement. He balked, but came around when they offere dhim the former house of Vasco and a membership in the Trust. Benito relaxed in the pool and was approached by Megan, who said her engagement with Augustus was off, and tried to seduce him. Megan strangled Benito to death, and when Crete found his body Graves named Dizzy as the new head of the Minutemen and told her to investigate. The Minutemen stormed the compound, killing dozens of security. Jack Daw and Crete fought, with the battle spilling over into Augustus' alligator pond. Cole stabbed Tibo and strangled D'arcy to death, filled a room with gasoline, and waited for Megan. Lono ambushed Graves, but Dizzy shot him a number of times, and he fell out the window. Graves talked to Augustus, realizing he planned for the Trust to murder his son and Dizzy to kill the other heads so the only ones standing would be him and Graves. Graves shot Augustus dead, and the shot surprised Cole, who dropped his lighter, blowing up both himself and Megan. Dizzy said Graves moved against another member of the Trust and pulled her gun. Graves said Augustus was the one who ruined his life, compromising his principles, but allowing him to pass those principles on to others, and he pointed Dizzy's gun at his own head.

Augustus had a cameo in 100 Bullets #26.
