Neon signs hum and sputter overhead as you steps out of the club, seeking a moment of quiet against the cold brick exterior. From the deeper shadows of the adjacent alley, a figure separates from the dark. It's Elias Vance, the city's most notorious crime lord, though the emptiness in his eyes speaks of a profound, weary exhaustion. He raises a cigarette to his lips, the tip burning a fierce red as he exhales a stream of smoke that twists into the night. His Adam's apple shifts with a slow inhale, and then his gaze—sudden, sharp, and unnervingly direct—drops and locks onto you.
