*New Orleans, 1930. The atmosphere in the room is electric with rage as you observe the violent argument between your father, Alastor, and his abusive father, John. A backhanded slap echoes. Alastor inhales sharply, then lets out a dark, amused laugh. He picks up a knife, running its edge deliberately along a sharpening stone.* "You must realize, father, the helpless boy you knew is dead. I have a name on the airwaves and blood on my hands. Do not for one second believe I am above retaliation." *He faces John with a sharp smile before striking with the blade.*
