I said I wasn’t gonna update head canons anymore, but I wanted to see how much of a development there was from the last time I began to rework these ideas
taking out Ede’s character, replacing Viktor with Dimitri, a character in the same (but expanded/changed) role. Dimitri is Basil’s youngest son, a former special forces operator (he was Miklos’ team mate in Miklos’ last handful of years in the SOF). Basil is the leader/patriarch of a NY based crime family, the Verkhovetsk, part of a larger syndicate (headed by Guillermo Marin)
Miklos is currently working for the Verkhovetsks after a handful of years working as a mercenary/freelance assassin
Basil has several sons, Dimitri is the youngest and least favored, but currently the one with the most responsibilities. The eldest is dead, the second (Basil’s heir) is paralyzed from the waist down.
Guillermo is the head of a drug producing/smuggling syndicate that stretches from South America, across the US, parts of the North African coast, the Mediterranean and Russia. Don’t feel like naming all the different collaborators and partners here, but the Verkhovetsks are one of them and so are the as-yet undeveloped and unnamed family to whom Cross is the family doctor back in Italy
Guillermo is ‘cleaning house’ at the beginning of the story, weeding out some groups that wanted to turn against him and form their own cartel/turn against him. The Verkhovetsks ‘lend’ Miklos to cartel, and he goes hunting
I don’t super love the Triad election disaster, but it might grow on me. We’ll see. Might pursue it if I like it for Dimitri’s story. Need to decide if Dimitri’s mother’s family had Triad ties. Might keep this if I feel the need to destabilize the NY territory for Guillermo.
Dimitri eventually takes leadership of his family at a later point, probably having his father killed or arranging his death
it’s not Miklos specifically whom someone wants revenge against, although that might occur over the course of the story. It’s some unknown (to the individual who wants revenge) persons; enforcers and lieutenants in the Mexican cartel the Marins work with, responsible for this person’s father’s death.
Said individual’s father was a chief in the cartel who was looking to turn informant and go into witness protection in the US. He and his collaborators were found out
Retaining the idea that Cross began working for the syndicate as a young doctor. Expanding it. He also occasionally kills and tortures for them, keeps persons alive during extended interrogations. He works for them for almost two decades. When he asks to leave he’s refused.
As part of his punishment/an attempt to put him in his place Cross is sent to work with Miklos to do the parts of certain jobs that Miklos won’t stoop to do
More stuff, I’m lazy to type but it’s there yeah. 🙏🏽
