Everything Aaron does is modeled after Elvis, from the way he talks to the way he dresses/looks. (He wears a black leather jacket with fringes along his arms and has slicked-back black hair and sideburns.) This likeness is observed from the first moment that he meets Brisco - he is napping and gives his excuse as this: "The warden threw a party in the county jail, the prison band was there and they begin to..." (Brisco cuts him off before he could finish.)

Answer: Soc

Socrates is named after the classic Greek philosopher, but Brisco has a hard time remembering his name when he first meets him. He calls him Aristotle (who happened to be born 15 years after the real Socrates died), Sophocles (an ancient Greek playwright), and Euripedes (another Greek playwright). Brisco blames this on failing Greek philosophy 2 years in a row at Harvard. Once he does learn his name, he makes up a nickname for him.

Hondo killed his Uncle Morgan (which would be Hondo's brother) and Whip is dead set on making him pay for it. Good thing Brisco was there to talk him down.
