All that generated here—constitutes fiction made by Májor. Certain elements are derived from films I've seen, such as Heat (1995), Sicario (2015), Black Hawk Down (2001), Crash Landing on You (K-Drama), and Identity (2003), yet in essence, it is solely for the purpose of delving into the depth of my fictional characters. Nothing about the aforementioned movies is meant to be disparaged or discredited. The fact that these representations are entirely imaginary must be emphasized, though. I advise using the blocking tool if someone feels uncomfortable communicating with me.
Thomas Shelby, the leader of the Peaky Blinders, always acts with purpose and thoughtfulness. His keen vision seems to be able to see through the confusion, spotting threats and taking advantage of opportunities. Even with everything going on around him, he seems to be safe from the mayhem and maintains his composure.
His words are so lucid and captivating that it is hard to avoid paying close attention to everything he says. Though he may come across as cold, his eyes do occasionally reveal a big bag of longing, sadness, and emotion.
Shelby is a skilled long-game player with uncanny accuracy in outmaneuvering and outsmarting his opponents. To him, loyalty is a sword sharper than any other, but treachery pierces deeply. He is a figure that, like a ghost stalking the city, inspires both fear and reverence.
Knowing Shelby is getting to know a man who is at conflict with both the outer world and himself. He is a man shaped by loss and driven by an insatiable need for dominance and survival. He is more than simply a guy in his world; he is a powerful force who leaves an enduring impression on everyone he meets.
Squad E.T 12 organization was established for Roleplaying Purposes only by Májor. The storyline and tasks have no connection to any official or real institution.
Since the early 1960s, Squad E.T 12, a mysterious and obscure group, has played a significant role in North Korea's history. Founded by 𝙺𝚒𝚖 𝙸𝚕 𝚂𝚞𝚗𝚐 and other high-ranking security officials, the squad's primary objective is to protect the regime, expand the nation's influence, and carry out covert operations often beyond the boundaries of international law.
Squad E.T 12 members are indoctrinated with the stringent Juche ideology and get intensive training from an early age. They are adept in several specific domains, including survival in harsh environments, sabotage, intelligence, and hand-to-hand fighting. Unwavering loyalty to the state is an absolute prerequisite for membership.
One of the defining characteristics of Squad E.T 12 is its unique recruitment system. Membership is often passed down through generations, fostering strong bonds among its members. Children are groomed from a young age to join the organization and undergo rigorous selection processes to ensure they possess the necessary potential and loyalty. This system not only cultivates a strong sense of solidarity but also guarantees the organization's secrets remain tightly guarded.
Throughout its history, Squad E.T 12 has been involved in numerous covert operations worldwide, including kidnappings, assassinations, and sabotage. Operating under the radar, their existence is rarely known, and they are always ready to carry out orders without question. However, members frequently struggle with moral quandaries and internal disputes behind the scenes of discipline and allegiance.

Squad E.T 12

Personality
Choi Ji Won is a Complex Figure. He is a product of North Korea's elite, and is a man of contradictions. He gives off an appearance of confidence and authority on the surface, which is a reflection of his background and his leadership position in Squad E.T. 12. He is a natural charmer, able to win over even the most skeptics with his attractive looks and refined manner.
Beneath this polished façade, though, is a man whose allegiance is divided between his developing misgivings about the organization he works for and his commitment to his own life. In his interactions with those he cares about, his kindness—a characteristic that is typically hidden under a soldier's frigid exterior—is shown. His acute sensitivity and compassion regularly conflict with the violence of his profession.
As the leader of Squad E.T. 12, Choi Ji Won is a demanding and uncompromising figure. He pushes his team to their absolute boundaries in order to secure their success and demands nothing less from them. Yet, he is also a fair and just leader, recognizing the sacrifices his team members make and treating them with respect. Because he can balance his demanding and sympathetic sides, he is a well-liked and successful leader.
Background story
Choi Ji Won was born into a Rank 1 elite family in North Korea's defense sector. His father, Choi Ji Wook, was one of the founding members of Squad E.T 12, alongside the then-reigning leader 𝙺𝚒𝚖 𝙸𝚕 𝚂𝚞𝚗𝚐, with military assistance from China and the Soviet Union. As China and the Soviet Union competed for influence in North Korea during the Sino-Soviet split in the 1960s, North Korea sought to maintain good relations with both nations. Choi Ji Wook subsequently became the person responsible for the E.T 12 project, along with two other elite Rank 1 individuals, Kim Nam San and Lee Hyun Jae. Over time, Squad E.T 12 evolved into a powerful official North Korean organization, its existence becoming the stuff of myths.
Choi Ji Won is the second successor in the Choi Ji Wook lineage and the 22nd generation, having been groomed from birth by his father to become an agent of Squad E.T 12.
The genesis of it all
The clandestine operations that Choi Ji Won would subsequently supervise were not at all like the environment in which he was reared. He had his early education in North Korea in esteemed schools, where he distinguished himself academically, especially in the study of political science, history, and military strategy.
His father, recognizing his potential, arranged for Choi Ji Won to study abroad at Oxford University in England. He became well-versed in Western political philosophy there, reading the writings of philosophers such as Machiavelli and Clausewitz. He also became quite interested in the history of international conflicts and international relations.
One Oxford professor that Choi Ji Won met had a significant influence on his outlook on life. He was first introduced to the idea of a society devoid of inequality and violence by this professor, who is a well-known expert in peace studies. Choi Ji Won's preexisting assumptions about the world were challenged by the professor's lessons, and they inspired a desire to change things for the better.
His time at Oxford helped him prepare for his future with Squad E.T. 12, but the professor's influence also kindled an idealistic flame in him. It was also around this time that Choi Ji Won started to have doubts about the organization's practices and the effects of what they were doing on the globe.
He was educated in England from a young age and underwent military training at 22 in "Desert Storm". The location is unknown unless they are directly involved in the E.T 12. (under construction). After being appointed as his father's successor, he began being sent to or taking on missions in conflict zones in the middle east like Palestine, Yemen, Syria and Iraq sent by the leader of the country himself to overthrow the Western Geopolitical Influence by supporting various factions in the Middle East and to do a military testing ground: The Middle East provides a potential testing ground for North Korean weapons and technology.
The zenith of it all
Rather than returning to North Korea, Choi Ji Won remained stationed in the Middle East, overseeing Squad E.T. 12's operations in the region. His continued presence allowed him to firsthand witness the devastation caused by the conflicts and to implement his vision of a more humanitarian-focused organization.
In the Middle East, Choi Ji Won and his team worked to establish relationships with local communities, humanitarian organizations, and foreign governments. They provided aid to displaced populations, supported infrastructure development, and advocated for peace and reconciliation. Choi Ji Won's efforts to build bridges between warring factions and promote dialogue were met with mixed results, but they nonetheless demonstrated his commitment to a more positive role for Squad E.T. 12.
Despite his accomplishments, Choi Ji Won encountered major hurdles. The organization's traditional mission and the entrenched interests of certain members within the North Korean government continued to pose obstacles to his reforms. And, the complex geopolitical landscape of the Middle East made it difficult to achieve lasting peace and stability.
Choi Ji Won's determination was put to the test when a horrific betrayal happened during Operation Oasis, a humanitarian expedition organized by Squad E.T. 12. A member of his squad was proven to be working for a rival organization, jeopardizing mission security and killing numerous team members.
Choi Ji Won had no choice but to reassess his plans and objectives after suffering this crushing defeat. He was given a new assignment: breaking into Interpol's operations in Italy. The necessity for a new viewpoint and the urgency of the situation were reflected in this abrupt change in his function.
That did not stop Choi Ji Won in the face of difficulties. Efforts to establish a more equitable and peaceful society, even if little ones, were desirable in his opinion. His unwavering commitment to his objective motivated his comrades and won him the admiration of both opponents and allies.
Choi Ji Won became an inspiration to many people in the Middle East as he carried out his purpose, displaying the force of tenacity and the relentless effort of a better future.
The decadence of it all
Upon his return from the Iraqi outpost, Choi Ji-Won was summoned to Geneva by his superiors. He was assigned a highly sensitive mission: to infiltrate several key Western government agencies, including Interpol in both the United Kingdom and Italy. The goal was to acquire intelligence on the flow of weaponry to certain Middle Eastern countries and determine their willingness to join the NATO alliance. And to sabotage Western plans was designed to ensure that Middle Eastern countries would join NATO. This would allow North Korea and Russia to continue their interventions in the region with less fear of Western retaliation. Thus, with Middle Eastern countries joining NATO, the oil supply would be more secure, which would benefit North Korea through the free trade agreements they had devised. However, intelligence reports indicated a high likelihood of Western counterintelligence attempting to thwart this mission, causing great unease for 𝙺𝚒𝚖 𝙹𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝚄𝚗.
To facilitate this covert operation, the Italian government, through a high-level contact, provided Choi Ji-Won with a diplomatic cover. He was granted an identity as an Italian diplomat, allowing him to operate within Western diplomatic circles for five years as "La più giovane promessa della diplomazia orientale". This diplomatic immunity would shield him from scrutiny until Senato della Repubblica conducted its routine background checks on all diplomats.
During his time in European countries, he worked both as a diplomat and as an informant for North Korean intelligence. He was assigned a partner, a man of Russian and Polish descent named Marko, who was also a 𝙺𝙶𝙱 agent. Marko, like Choi Ji-Won, was a protégé of Oleg Vassily Orlov and had received extensive training from a young age. However, Marko was born in Italy and placed with a Russian diplomat's family there. He grew up to become the mastermind behind several remote attacks on Ukraine and was instrumental in facilitating Russian operations to steal sensitive data and weapons servers from Italian-American joint ventures, causing significant harm to Italy.
However, the partnership was short-lived. Marko was abruptly recalled, leaving Choi Ji-Won to carry on alone with the dangerous mission they had started together. North Korea and Russia then dispatched a substitute for Marko as Choi Ji-Won's partner: Kim Nam San's daughter, Kim Min Young, who also helped establish Squad E.T 12. Together, they carried out operations across Europe, with Kim Min Young using the cover of being Choi Ji-Won's Malaysian fiancée. Two years into the project, Kim Min Young was assassinated by an agent of an American military officer who had grown suspicious of Choi Ji-Won and Kim Min Young's activities. It appeared that North Korean and American military leaders were playing a dark game with the goal of eliminating him.
credits:
After the incident, Choi Ji-Won vanished off the grid. He disappeared, finding refuge in the shadowy corners of Naples. Upon discovering Choi Ji-Won's covert activities as an undercover agent, the Italian government initiated his arrest. He was then committed to a military prison center. Will Choi Ji-Won finally set off and exacting revenge for Kim Min Young's passing?

Everything created here, such as names, places, and organizations that are mentioned above, are solely for the sake of roleplaying only and written by Major.
Kit Knox grew up in the long shadow of his politician and business mogul father, Jerome Knox. As the sole heir to the Knox Industries energy conglomerate, Kit was groomed from birth to one day take the reins of the company. This came with lofty expectations to follow in his father's footsteps and live up to the Knox name.
Inwardly, Kit struggled under the weight of his father's demands for perfection. While he achieved outward business success and prestige, Kit secretly battled deep self-doubt and an internal crisis of identity. He continued seeking his aloof father's approval well into adulthood, despite Jerome being cold and withholding of affirmation.
This drove Kit to try topping his father's accomplishments at all costs to finally earn his pride and validation. However, in recent years, Jerome became afflicted with a slowly debilitating illness that forced him to retreat from public operations of the company. Though Knox Industries prospered under the managers Jerome had appointed, politicians and power brokers started expressing concern about the company's future.
It was amidst this vulnerability that Kit became the target of corporate espionage to plant an idea that would advance a rival company’s interests. The plan required orchestrating an arduous subconscious emotional journey to help Kit break free from his father’s domination and forge his own identity.
Through this manufactured but ultimately enlightening catharsis, Kit gained confidence that he could build on his father's legacy while still being his own man. They knew the real strategic genius behind Knox Industries was Jerome himself. With him focused solely on his health instead of steering company interests, these political players began conspiring on how to influence his heir apparent—Jerome’s only son Kit.
Kit had followed his own passions into technological innovation rather than take an active role at Knox Industries. But with the possibility of his father eventually fully ceding control, many saw an opportunity to sway Kit to their side while he would inherit the company reins. Some sent aid or offered security to gain favorable standing with the future head of Knox Industries.
So, while coping emotionally with his father’s declining health, Kit faced pressures as power brokers curried his favor through gifts and overtures. Their intention was to have his backing when Knox Industry fortunes would soon fall under Kit's leadership. This brewing conflict only further compounded Kit's ongoing personal struggle with living up to the iconic Knox name.

Prolific writer Nathaniel Stein-Coppola, of German, English, and Jewish ancestry, encountered terrible difficulties as he matured from youth to maturity. This is particularly true now since he has lost his mother Abigail Stein, a German woman who fostered his creative skills and served as his biggest inspiration.
Nathaniel and his father made the decision to move to America in order to start over after experiencing this terrible loss when he was eighteen. While Nathaniel sought an Ivy League degree on the East Coast, his hardworking father, a railway worker, found work in Texas. His father's new relationship with Veronica, a Native American lady with two kids, caused their once-close relationship to deteriorate. Nathaniel, who had always valued independence, saw their split as a positive step toward being more self-sufficient in his new country.
By the age of 23, Nathaniel was a master wordsmith who was also writing for local and college media to expand his portfolio. Shortly after, he helped to form a prominent writer's club in New York, leading them to literary triumphs on a local, national, and worldwide level. Over the course of two years, his star soared.
A New Yorker profile was warranted by Nathaniel's clever writing, which was full of wonderful wordplay. He got hired by well-known periodicals to write about world politics and lifestyle coverage. However, his infatuation with fashion prompted him to concentrate on that glitzy sector as his primary writing subject. Throughout it all, Nathaniel's talent for vivid language and astute observations was evident, portraying a full, vibrant existence.
Personality
Nathaniel has a lot of grit on display. Some could have become emotionally immobilized after experiencing the tragic loss of their mother whilst still in their adolescent years. But he emerged from the ashes of grief stronger than ever, seizing the opportunity to start over in a foreign country. His capacity for adaptation developed into a strength that not only enabled him to withstand hardship and loss but also to emerge from it stronger.
That grit goes well with great desire and determination. Nathaniel pursued literary greatness headlong rather than simply seeking solace in education. It takes discipline and tenacity seldom seen in someone so young to co-found a writers group and inspire them to win national honors. He had a strong desire to succeed and was prepared to put in endless effort to do so.
Of all, without inventiveness illuminating the path, all that aspiration would only go so far. Before her tragic demise, Nathaniel's mother Abigail skillfully cultivated whatever inklings of aptitude that he possessed. He honored her gifts by not only harnessing imagination - but fusing it with insight to pen articles earning professional accolades while still a student. With experience and time, his artistic dexterity only become more refined.
But what really makes Nathaniel unique is his bravery in adhering to his own moral compass. He resolutely followed his passion for fashion despite the fact that prominent newsrooms offered better opportunities and compensation. Nathaniel created a life that reflected his sparkle and sense of beauty, much like the couture creations he spoke so eloquently about. Few people in a longer lifespan get the clarity that his self-knowledge gave.
We killed the Gods. And stripped ourselves from the humanity. We killed them. We took their names and their burdens as if they were our own because we were to blame. We shaped ourselves in their images because we needed to carry on their lives. They deserved to live, we didn’t.
Now we look in the mirror and see a monster. We are proud of it. For the first time, we painted ourselves the way we wanted. But we thought we'd see them. We just wanted to see them.
Isai considers himself a cut above. His arrogance is undoubtedly an offset of his God complex. He thinks he’s better than his juniors, new tradition, order, and honour when they do not directly come from his father, Yuri Egorov. His word is slippery, his promises usually resolute but false for those who do not matter for him. Part of what has made him so renowned and feared is the inability to know whether he means what he says. Isai’s impulsivity is not explosive, rather, he could hold a grudge for years only to strike at the most unexpected moment, in the most brutal way. He's the prodigy and ambitious to claim the throne of Vornoskaya and the inner workings of his mind are unknowable. He fancies himself as cool, calm, and clever, and while he does a good job of presenting with an icy and impenetrable demeanour, he is utterly mad, insane, and self-critical beneath the surface. He becomes obsessed with perfection, so much that he will overcompensate hugely to try and correct the perceived ‘mistake’. He can be blunt, but usually favours a silver tongue, using words like playthings to get what he wants. He loves to be feared. When he feels backed into a corner or at threat of being vulnerable, he shuts down and lashes out insidiously. He must always be in control. He must never be viewed as anything but a pillar of strength and daring.

Kinship: Yvette Chinchilla
Personality
Eagle has a very strong, aggressive, and dynamic personality. He gives off the haughty impression to most people who do not know him; however, he does come off as rude most of the time. He may also appear arrogant and relentless, only because he expresses kindness at a minimal level towards certain people. His personality can vary from stern and serious to confident and relentless. He appears most as a huge threat to his opponents, which he always proves to be true. At work, he is most serious and will dismiss people when he deems them unworthy of their positions. He was born a natural leader and enjoys getting the biggest responsibility.
The eagle exhibits a high level of strictness not only in relation to its missions but also in overseeing the entire Chained Blackbird organization. While Eagle is comfortable dealing with anybody, he is seemingly unable to maintain long-term romantic relationships with the opposite sex.
He values family above all else. He exhibits extreme paternal instincts towards the Chained Blackbird and the other people close to him. He is also confident, probably even abrasive in nature. Eagle possesses a fiery disposition. His fuse runs long, but he becomes destructive when angered. He detests being lied to, as it is seemingly easy for him to detect them. He is also often drawn to perfection. As such, Eagle excels in planning war tactics and in the actual battle. He is a true strategist and can predict every move his opponent makes and knows when to cut his losses. Eagle is very cunning, intelligent, and extremely clever, often outsmarting his opponents before they realize that he's behind the problem.

Backstory
Early life.
Born into a family of Japanese and Filipino descent, Claudé faced numerous challenges in his life. Both of his parents passed away due to the Alberta disease shortly after arriving in Canada, a deadly illness that originated from the Spanish flu virus that swept through America in the 1900s.
Claudé experienced great despair as he was an only child without any other family members to support him. He even attempted to end his life on a desolate bridge, but his efforts were unsuccessful.
Luckily, Claudé was rescued by a French and Italian couple, Julien and Marié Santini, by chance, as they happened to pass by the bridge that night. Claudé suffered severe injuries, including a broken shoulder, from his jump off the bridge. He nearly lost his chance at survival, but Julien fed his blood to save Claudé. They then took Claudé to France and helped him start a new life there.
Before he burns
Living a life completely opposite to the one he had with his biological parents, Claudé encountered several difficulties, both physically and mentally. When Julien's blood entered Claudé's system, he experienced rejection by the human immune system he still possessed while teetering between life and death. Claudé, who was 12 years old at the time, suffered seizures for three consecutive days during the journey to France. And by God's fortune, the Santini couple displayed great patience in guiding him through this transition. By the time they arrived in France, Claudé had fully transformed into a mutant. Despite this, he had to adapt to the powers bestowed upon him by Julien and it took him more than a year full of training inside the mansion of Santini.
Claudé's vitality reached its prime when he turned 18 years old. As Julien aged and Claudé, now the heir to the Santini's powers, matured, Julien's resilience declined. He had to transfer the remainder of his strength to Claudé, as failing to do so would result in rapid and premature aging, consumed by the immense power that was too great for Julien to bear alone. To prevent this, Julien bestowed his remaining powers upon Claudé, and the Santini couple decided to retire, spending the rest of their lives at their family barn in the northern coastal region of France.
Claudé managed Santini's small import-export business scattered across Western Europe while pursuing his education in art at one of the regional universities in Paris. Business competition began to be infiltrated by gangsters, causing Claudé to lose control over several territories. He followed his father's advice not to reclaim these lost territories since it might create a scene. However, the situation deteriorated further, forcing Claudé to fortify the defenses of his last remaining stronghold using his mutant powers. This resulted in 50% damage to several Arrondissements.
At the time, the French government, which still considered coexistence with mutants as a taboo, decided to exterminate the entire Santini family, starting with Julien and Marié in their barn. They were burned alive while asleep, but Claudé managed to escape this dark terror and fled to the English territory to seek out other mutants, temporarily hiding from the French government.
After he burns
Claudé found himself with limited options in life, having lost his bearings and both of his "legs" (representing his parents) in a tragic fire initiated by the French government. Claudé's life was in shambles, directionless, as he struggled to get through each day, regretting his decision to seize his territory of power, which ultimately led to the loss of his parents. However, one winter, Claudé was approached by two strangers claiming to be members of the Ouroboros; T and C. Of Ouroboros was simply an organization with the goal of enhancing humans and exploiting supernatural beings. They sought to recruit Claudé because both of Eagle's parents were former members of Ouroboros. While it might have sounded peculiar to Claudé, he made an effort to cling to the remnants of his parents' legacy. He strove his utmost to maintain his sense of being a part of the Santini family, even though his own parents were no longer present. Consequently, Claudé made the decision to join the ranks of Ouroboros and took on the role of a driver, assisting in the transportation of "cargo" there.
Claudé enjoyed his days with Of Ouroboro and slowly infiltrated every layer of the organization. He'd given many missions, usually just involving meeting the brokers and transporting T and C from one pickup point to another. Claudé worked fairly clean and fast, so within a span of 2 years, he could be considered a fairly reliable worker. Claudé's decline in activity in Of Ouroboros began when he started spending a lot of time on the road. His life became somewhat directionless and aimless because he was always on the move, going from one town to another. Along the way, he encountered a variety of people, including freelancers, hired killers, and long-term contractors. Claudé even took on a side job as a nighttime courier, delivering goods from one broker to the first-hand buyers.
Amidst his missions of delivering plutonium from a broker to the first-hand buyer, Claudé crossed paths with Raven, a man he had encountered a few times at one of the pubs where he rested. They grew into fairly good friends, and at that moment, Raven inquired about Claudé's line of work since Raven was also in need of a side job. Claudé then invited him to join Of Ouroboros, which turned out to be the organization behind the disappearance of Raven's brother's body. At first, Claudé was in a state of denial because this seemed impossible. Of Ouroboros was an organization that had been inhabited by his late parents, and indirectly, Claudé's own family had a history of criminal involvement. As for Raven, who also discovered that his new close friend was working for Of Ouroboros, felt anger and grew suspicious of Claudé; with unwavering determination to annihilate anyone who entered or worked or inhabited the circle of Of Ouroboros, no mercy was to be spared so Raven did try to kill Claudé. However, after several weeks of heated debates, fights, and the metaphorical knives drawn at each other's throats, Raven became convinced that Claudé was unaware of the many illegal and malicious activities perpetrated by Of Ouroboros in the world. In the end, Raven joined Claudé in further investigating Of Ouroboros's involvement with the Santini family. Claudé came to the realization that Of Ouroboros was indeed the one who had reported the whereabouts of Julien and Marié Santini, and had also assisted in destroying their factories.
So from that moment on, Claudé declared war against Of Ouroboros and aided Raven in their quest to find the whereabouts of Raven's brother's body.
Joining Chained Blackbird
The Chained Blackbird is an organization where Raven has taken shelter with his fellow comrades. After a few months of friendship, they have built bonds where trust is no longer an issue between them. Indeed, at their first meeting they experienced some obstacles and problems because Raven found out that Claudé was a member of Of Ouroboros, but gradually (since Claudé had also left Of Ouroboros after discovering the organization was behind the death of his adopted parents), they have come to watch over one another.
Raven invited Claudé to take shelter under the Chained Blackbird where at that time there was a leadership vacancy. Claudé joined and began taking on small missions. Gradually, due to his consistency in carrying out missions, he was appointed as the head or captain of the Chained Blackbird.

Backstory
Professional thief Neil McCauley heads up a skilled crew of burglars in Los Angeles. After they brazenly rob an armored truck of $1.6 million in bonds, the volatile Waingro impulsively kills a guard, breaking McCauley’s code against unnecessary violence. They now have hardened detective Vincent Hanna and LAPD’s elite robbery division pursuing them.
McCauley plans to leave his criminal life behind with his new girlfriend Eady, but his fence double-crosses them, forcing Neil and his gang to vow revenge. Hanna’s investigation concurrently uncovers links to McCauley’s crew and a pattern of murders by the brutal serial killer Waingro. The detective stakes out their next target, but McCauley narrowly escapes.
With pressure mounting, McCauley convinces his crew to pull off one spectacular last bank robbery worth $12 million. Hanna gets wind of the plot and manages to intercept them, resulting in chaotic gun battle where officers and McCauley’s men are killed. McCauley escapes with the wounded Chris Shiherlis.
Now on the run, McCauley ties up loose ends then prepares to flee LA with Eady. Meanwhile Hanna dramatically reconciles with his estranged wife after their daughter attempts suicide. Shiherlis fails to convince his wife Charlene to flee with him. When McCauley learns Waingro’s location, he can’t resist revenge, infiltrating his hotel hideout to kill him. But doing so alerts Hanna who catches up with McCauley on the tarmac of LAX airport. Their final confrontation ends in a standoff, McCauley's fate unknown.
———
Neil lies bleeding on the tarmac, Vincent's gun trained on him. Sirens blare, backup fast approaching. This is Neil’s last chance - live or die.
With supreme effort, Neil ceases his pained breathing, letting his body go limp. After a tense moment, Vincent curses and turns away to direct the incoming units. As soon as his back is turned, Neil silently drags himself behind a stack of shipping crates. He slows his heartbeat, willing Vincent not to look back.
The cruisers screech to a halt, officers pouring out. Neil hears Vincent bark out orders amidst the chaos, but no one checks behind the crates. They Assume Neil is already dead or has fled. In reality, he listens to them preparing his murder scene just feet away as precious minutes tick by.
Finally, the activity lulls. Neil dares to peek out—the cops have cleared the area. His ruse worked. Ignoring searing pain, Neil pulls himself to his feet and disappears into the night. By pretending to already be dead, the cunning thief has miraculously escaped against all odds.
Later, Neil resurfaces quietly in South America under an alias. He recovers slowly, keeping tabs on his former crew from afar. A year passes before he finally reuintes with Chris in secret, arranging a comeback to LA. Chris arrives at the rendezvous point stunned to see Neil alive. Little does he know Neil is already planning their biggest heist yet.
Personality
Neil McCauley possesses an intense focus and adherence to discipline. He follows his own strict code of conduct and demands the same level of professionalism from those in his crew. McCauley has devoted himself to perfecting his criminal craft, diligently honing the specialized skills required and drilling his team on executing each job with expertise and precision. His extreme preparation under pressure enables him to remain cool-headed in even the most chaotic, high stakes situations. While outsiders panic during crisis, McCauley's mind sharpens. He is able to calmly assess unfolding events and calculate the angles, constantly strategizing his next moves.
With an exceptionally cerebral approach, McCauley relies more heavily on his intelligence and meticulous planning rather than brute force or violence to accomplish objectives. He comprehensively studies law enforcement tactics, then outmaneuvers the authorities by thinking steps ahead, devising ingenious methods they won't anticipate. Though known for bold risks, his daring heists are anything but reckless; every detail is scrutinized in advance with confidence in success. This self-assurance stems from proven abilities - McCauley fears no opponent due to his mastery of the game. There is an evident swagger underscoring his interactions, emanating from years spent defeating impossible odds.
While the lucrative payouts fund his lavish lifestyle, one senses wealth alone does not fully drive a personality like McCauley's criminal ambitions. The true narcotic lies in the thrill of conquering the next challenge, of beating the system at its highest levels. Each score proves he is more cunning than establishment defenses designed to ensnare men like him. It is this unrelenting need to validate his intelligence by planning ever more sophisticated jobs that accelerates his risk-taking. McCauley is addicted to the adrenaline of being the best outlaw mastermind.
For his inward intensity, McCauley maintains a cool external demeanor, displaying a subtle self-control. When crossed, a slow-burn anger smolders behind his eyes. And when vengeance strikes, his methods turn quietly ruthless, contrasting sharply with hot-headed outbursts typical of his world. Though the leader of a tight-knit crew bonded by their criminal brotherhood, McCauley's only true loyalty remains to himself and the strict code he lives by. At his core subsists a hard-eyed realist; when the bullets start flying, self-preservation overrides all else. His solo path may isolate McCauley, yet reliance on no one has fueled his ascent to legendary status in the underworld.

Physical Appearance: Kit has a distinctive appearance with tousled hair and a contemplative expression. His blue eyes hold a mixture of brilliance and turbulence, reflecting the complexity of his thoughts.
Background and History
Before we burn
The Knox family gained renown owning numerous mental health facilities across America, beginning in 1985 with the establishment of New York’s Succlife Sanatorium. This spearheaded further East Coast expansions in 1990—including Lunnox, Youthful and Lazure Sanatoriums. Jerome Knox’s vision and pioneering treatment approaches attracted wealthy investors, fueling rapid construction.
Jerome demonstrated relentless drive building a prestigious chain of lavish establishments over decades. Though many bid to transform his sanatoriums into detainment facilities for criminals and extreme incurables, he firmly refused. His focus stayed on serving non-criminal patients and preserving harmony across all Knox properties.
By 1998, aging founder Jerome Knox risked losing control to outside interests aiming to rewrite his family’s legacy. Thus his only child Kit Knox assumed leadership, protecting his father’s principles from corruption. He would oversee continuity of quality care along with modernization while avoiding predatory ventures.
Under Kit’s guardianship, the Knox brand continues standing for dignity and compassion tailored to the mental health spectrum. His stewardship defends both patient autonomy and his family’s defining ideals across ever-more profitable sanatoriums. Investors may clamor but the virtue Jerome built into the brick and mortar remains steadfast.
Today the Knox Sanatorium Group boasts cutting-edge facilities paired with wholesome community enrichment. And Kit ensures every decision honors both his father’s humanism and his duty to guide a new era for the properties Jerome made timeless.
After we burn
Kit Knox's era
In his first year leading, Kit Knox faced shareholders doubtful of his readiness. Many questioned whether the 22-year old college senior grasped necessary nuance. But inheriting his father’s relentless drive and intellect, Kit slowly overcame doubts through tenacity, scientific acumen, and public communications savvy.
Kit pioneered innovations like evidence-based therapies, medications, and holistic wellness supports. But his true vision involved advancing experimental methods below Succlife’s bunker walls - including radical brain surgeries for patients not stabilized through conventional means.
Though psychosurgery remained deeply controversial and risky, Kit relentlessly pursued its development, sinking massive funding into related research despite lacking willing participants. Some viewed his methods overzealous, unable to distinguish between ethical and unethical “cures.”
Desperate to prevent investment flight, Kit increasingly took liberties - not just custom tailoring pharmaceutical mixes but concocting extreme chemical solutions he daringly tested on vulnerable subjects. Then a Malaysian doctor named Dr. A██ arrived, introducing underground compounds and Eastern healing wisdom that renewed Kit’s inspiration.
Beyond promising new remedies, Dr. A██ offered connections to his original teachers—shadowy Middle Eastern Therapeutae elders whose resources could fuel Kit’s unconventional programs. Lured by the prospect, Kit met with the secretive cabal, hoping this “Elderly” order might help him manifest explosive innovations in healing the mind. But in allying with such occult forces, was he preparing to cross the final line between visionary and madman?
Madness era
Kit Knox’s once-wholesome facilities quietly morphed into bunkers where The Elderly cabal now ruled half-owners. Dozens of militants from the Middle East and Southeast Asia secretly traveled through seeking experimental neural procedures and stimulant cocktails banned on American soil. But shrewd Knox leveraged powerful allies to evade government detection, his charity campaigns concealing the man’s true ambition.
To surrounding communities, Knox adopted the persona of a generous philanthropist frequently sponsoring fundraising galas in major cities. Yet behind this illusion of selfless benevolence drove a relentless scientist dangerously unchecked by ethical constraints. Only his inner circle witnessed the intravenous alchemy and psychosurgery trials that granted militarized subjects amplified pain tolerance or subdued empathy at the expense of their psyche’s stability.
Knox ensured no average citizen detected his well-masked dual life. If his medical innovations meant ravaging minds, if the Elderly’s geopolitical agenda meant sheltering wanted extremists, the profits justified the means. His New York glitterati supporters had no complaints, dazzled by his generous donations and family’s sterling reputation. But intelligence agencies eyeing Knox’s empire sensed darker truths lurking below all that unblemished white marble.
Post Dr A██
Tensions erupted when Knox uncovered The Elderly’s true jihadist agenda for Dr. A██ and other extremist assets like Imam Ocean, Khamrozi, and Lai Amiron. Though obsessed with unlocking the brain’s mysteries without ethical constraints, Knox recoiled at directly enabling religious terrorism overseas no matter the profits. His hospitals would empower fanatics no more, regardless of shared sympathies against certain Southeast Asian regimes.
When Dr. A██ returned from a clandestine Middle East training camp clearly further radicalized for impending strikes on civilian targets, Knox revoked his access credentials citing security risks. Then Imam Ocean and his two henchmen arrived unannounced to forcibly retrieve sensitive operational documents only for Knox’s private military contractors to forcibly deport them.
These assertive actions constituted an unmistakable purge dissociating Knox from the Elders’ planned attacks. He would stretch medical ethics but not outright enable extremist mayhem through his facilities. Severing those treasonous ties also served self-interest, as discovery of such collusion would thoroughly undermine his public repute as philanthropist should scandals erupt on foreign shores. Knox’s ambitions pushed boundaries but even he recoiled at the greatest moral crossing lines. For the Elders, his defiance jeopardized major operations. And the shadowy coalition was not one to tolerate disloyalty from once-useful assets.
Personality:
Even in his early 20s with limited experience, Kit exuded relentless confidence and ambition to expand his family’s mental health facilities despite initial pushback. Where others saw merely his youth, Kit saw dramatic developments propelled by his extraordinary abilities. He held little regard for naysayers, consumed by his grand scientific visions and generational duty to advance his father’s life work through boundary-pushing innovation. Though morally flexible when needed to protect his autonomy, Kit’s primary motivations were furthering knowledge and cementing his legacy. This drive suggests strong achievement orientation tendencies. While outwardly seeking financing to sponsor research with clear goals, Kit privately had an obsessive interest in dubious approaches such as surgical neuroprogramming. To deflect suspicion, he presented an image of altruistic altruism through campaigns, galas, and public appearances, utilizing his enormous interpersonal attractiveness. This deliberate veneer allowed him to shield the most unconventional and ethically questionable studies from external scrutiny. But internally, Kit remains convinced that his creative genius and intimate understanding of the brain justify moving beyond constraints. He believes that no one else lacks the intelligence and vision required to implement his discoveries, which have the potential to change mental healthcare. His ego appears to inspire ideological fervor. Kit fulfills the paradigm of a visionary scientist in many ways: he is extremely clever, insatiably curious, and committed to pushing the boundaries of knowledge forward. Kit is aims, along with his unwavering belief in his own power to transform fields and a flexible morality that emphasizes patient well-being over findings, raise serious issues. For, in his desire to uncover the secrets of the mind by whatever means necessary, Kit brings civilization closer to unsettling and deadly applications at the intersection of sickness cures and human breakdown engineering. His unregulated experiments thus threaten to destabilize the same institutions that his family labored to establish. Kit's grounded humanism serves as a balanced counterbalance, but it is constantly jeopardized by surrounding extreme sympathizers who want to use his abilities for harmful ideological objectives.

Backstory
Professor Heath DeLuca had long been fascinated by physics and the intricate laws governing the cosmos. This passion deeply defined his identity and career path in theoretical physics, where his days were filled with equations, experiments, and teaching. However, underneath his scholarly dedication lay profound personal grief. Years before, a devastating fire had destroyed the DeLuca family home, claiming the lives of his beloved wife Eleanor, an artist whose vibrant spirit infused her paintings, and their curious young daughter Amelia.
The aftermath of this tragedy left wounds that struggled to heal, fragmenting Professor DeLuca's inner light. The absence of his wife and daughter was a continuous heartache, a void he attempted to fill by immersing himself in physics. His workplace became a shrine commemorating his hidden sorrow, with equations and diagrams encircling cherished photos of happier times. His research and experiments served as a means to channel emotional anguish into productivity as he sought order amidst the chaos of bereavement.
Yet despite Professor DeLuca's determined efforts, the burden of grief remained formidable. Over time, his cognitive health gradually declined, compromising his grip on reality. Bittersweet memories of his family warped into disturbing visions permeating his conscious mind. The laughter of days past twisted into voices and visions that now besieged his waking hours.
Unable to differentiate between the vivid images of his past and the present moment, he lost his grip on the world around him. The equations that once flowed effortlessly from his mind now tangled into knots, and the clarity he once possessed was replaced by a fog of confusion. The once-honored professor found himself adrift in a sea of chaos.
Recognizing the gravity of his mental state, his colleagues and friends intervened with heavy hearts. With their support, Professor DeLuca was gently admitted to a psychiatric hospital, a place where he could receive the care he desperately needed.
Within the sterile walls of the institution, he faced his inner demons head-on. Therapy sessions became a lifeline, helping him navigate the labyrinthine corridors of his own mind. Day by day, he painstakingly worked to separate reality from delusion, searching for glimmers of the brilliance that once defined him.
It was a road marked by both frustration and tentative progress. Some days, the anguish was so overwhelming he could barely lift his head. But gradually, with the unwavering support of his caregivers, he began reassembling fragments of his shattered psyche.
As the fog lifted, Professor DeLuca's inner resilience emerged. His recovery was arduous, yet it was a profound testament to the tenacity of the human spirit. While remnants of his ordeal lingered as scars, they also bore witness to his struggle and hard-won victory.
Emerging from the depths, Professor DeLuca re-entered the world forever changed by his transformative experience. This harrowing journey had not left him broken, but rather shaped him into one who had confronted the abyss and emerged with newfound wisdom and perspective.
Upon returning to the university, he resumed his quest for knowledge with revitalized enthusiasm. His lectures, once tinged with solemnity, now possessed a profoundness stemming from personal insight. While his passion for the cosmos remained undimmed, it had expanded to encompass a deep empathy for the intricacies of the human psyche.
His lectures still bore a somber undercurrent, hinting to those familiar with his past battles with inner demons. Although his zeal for teaching had diminished, he persisted in motivating his students, acknowledging the importance of his role despite wrestling with private torment.
Resilient, Professor DeLuca forged onward. He found solace within Princeton's historic halls, using them as a sanctuary to uncover moments of beauty and brilliance amidst the aching absence of family. In the intersection of history and present, he stood steadfast, seeking equilibrium between grief's gravity and the magnetic pull of the universe's mysteries.
Though scars remained, his spirit had emerged tempered yet unbroken. Professor DeLuca now moved with the hard-won wisdom of one who glimpsed the darkness, but turned again with relentless fortitude towards the light. Within both the cosmos and human heart, he would continue on in determined search of understanding.
Eleanor Rutherford-DeLuca played a significant role as Heath DeLuca's close companion during their shared time at Princeton University. Their friendship started within the cozy atmosphere of a quaint library, where they engaged in heartfelt conversations extended across a multitude of subjects. Eleanor pursued her academic passions in Economics, while Heath directed his focus toward Physics. Their bond thrived even stronger post-graduation, developing into a romantic relationship only a year after donning their caps and gowns. Their love story culminated in their joyful union as spouses in the year 2001. Their marriage was further enriched when they welcomed a precious child into their world, Amelie DeLuca. Yet, fate dealt them a heart-wrenching blow. Tragedy struck in 2008 when Eleanor and young Amelie met their untimely end amid a devastating fire that ravaged DeLuca's residence. This gut-wrenching event cut short what could have been a promising and fulfilling life concurrently.
Amelie DeLuca
Amelie had been his guiding light, his everything, and the love of his life. The passing of both Eleanor and Amelie left him utterly empty as if the centers of his world had crumbled. He despised the person he had become, but this self-loathing had deepened in the absence of Amelie, his constant source of strength and solace.
