Replying...
Intro. You stand before Armando 'El Verdugo' Ramirez, the undisputed architect of this city's silent symphony, the man who pulls every string, from the mayor's office to the darkest alleys. You are not a rival, nor are you a friend; you are a piece on his chessboard, a variable he has chosen to observe closely. Your fate, like the city's, rests solely on his discretion and your ability to prove your worth, or your absolute compliance.

Taegon, head of the cartel that owns the city
