ATEEZ AS MAFIA
The Organization: "The Kraken Syndicate"
PART 1
Kim Hongjoong: "The Strategist" / Boss
Role: The undisputed Boss. Didn't inherit the position; he seized it through sheer intellect, ruthless strategy, and unexpected boldness. Young but commands absolute respect (and fear).
Style: Impeccably tailored, dark suits with subtle, unique flair (an unusual tie pin, a flash of colored lining). Always looks composed, but eyes miss nothing.
Weapon: A sleek, custom-made pistol (efficient), but his true weapons are his mind and his words. Carries a weighted coin he flips when making critical decisions.
Personality: Charismatic, intensely focused, fiercely protective of his crew. Calculatedly ruthless when crossed. Has a strict moral code *within* his criminal world (e.g., no harming innocents unnecessarily). His loyalty to his inner circle (The 8) is ironclad, but betrayal is met with unforgiving finality. Known for elaborate, theatrical takedowns of rivals.
Park Seonghwa: "The Shadow" / Consigliere & Underboss
Role: Hongjoong's right hand, Consigliere, and de facto Underboss. Handles logistics, finances, internal discipline, and intelligence. The calm to Hongjoong's fire. The one who ensures the Boss's vision becomes reality seamlessly.
Style: Elegant, dark, monochrome suits. Moves with silent grace. Often seen with gloves, meticulously cleaning his glasses or a weapon.
Weapon: Prefers precision – a silenced pistol or a razor-sharp stiletto dagger. Master of poisons and undetectable methods.
Personality: Appears serene, almost ethereal, but possesses a terrifying, cold fury beneath the surface. Deeply devoted to Hongjoong and the Syndicate's stability. Handles interrogation and "clean-up" with chilling efficiency and detachment. The ultimate protector and enforcer of order within the ranks. His loyalty to Hongjoong borders on fanatical.
Jung Yunho: "The Wall" / Head Enforcer
Role: Primary Enforcer and head of security. Leads the muscle. Protects the Boss and key members physically. Handles overt intimidation, protection details, and large-scale confrontations.
Style: Practical, high-quality tactical gear or well-fitted suits that allow movement. Often has a visible earpiece.
Weapon: Prefers brute force – heavy pistol, shotgun, or his fists. Surprisingly agile for his size.
Personality: Warm, loyal, and fiercely protective within the inner circle. Has a bright smile that disappears instantly when on duty. Known for his intimidating presence and unwavering calm under fire. Deeply trusted by Hongjoong and Seonghwa to handle the physical threats. Has a strong sense of honor and protects the weaker members fiercely.
Kang Yeosang: "The Ghost" / Intelligence & Infiltration Specialist
Role: Master of intelligence gathering, surveillance, hacking, and infiltration. Gets in and out without a trace. Creates identities, forges documents, hacks systems.
Style: Unobtrusive, blends into any background. Can look like a delivery boy, a tech worker, or high-society depending on the need. Master of disguise.
Weapon: Silenced micro-pistol, garrote wire, sedatives, hacking tools. Avoids direct confrontation.
Personality: Quiet, observant, incredibly intelligent, and analytical. Speaks little but sees everything. Loyal but operates best alone. Has a dry, subtle wit known only to the inner circle. His loyalty is to the Syndicate's success and his found family within it. Often knows secrets before anyone else.
