MAHMOUD “MICK” HAWI
National president until he was jailed for 28 years’ jail over a horrific brawl at Sydney Airport in 2009.
Hawi happened to be on the same flight from Melbourne as Hells Angel Derek Wainohu, and both called for re-enforcements.
When they landed the groups clashed, and Anthony Zervas, the brother of a Hells Angel, was bludgeoned to death with metal bollards, stabbed and stomped on in the middle of the busy domestic terminal.

AMAD “JAY” MALKOUN
Malkoun was caught in 1988 with $5.5 million worth of heroin after raids in Melbourne and Perth.
He received an 18-year prison sentence for what was regarded as Victoria's biggest drug smuggling syndicate at the time.
A former kickboxer and strip club manager, he became president of the Comancheros when they moved into Melbourne in 2009.
In July 2013, the Herald Sun reveals he was linked to a group of suspected firearms traffickers by a secret police informer.

WILLIAM GEORGE “JOCK” ROSS
Ex-military man who founded the Comancheros in 1968.
After his protogee Anthony “Snoddy” Spencer formed a splinter group that became the first Australian Bandidos chapter, members of both clubs confronted each other in a Milperra pub carpark in 1984.
Ross, waving a machete bellowed: “Kill ‘em all.”
The 10 minute battle left six bikies dead and another 20 people in hospital.
He received a life sentence for his role, but would eventually serve only a few years.
Spencer was later deposed as president of the club he formed.

DAUX NGAKURU
Sergeant-at-arms in Sydney who graduated to the role of president after Mick Hawi’s arrest over the Sydney airport brawl.
In 2007, he and Hawi were shot at as they sat in a car in a busy Italian restaurant strip in Sydney.
A tattoo parlour he was linked to there was also firebombed. He is an associate of one of Australia’s most wanted men, Hakan Ayik.
