bank robber info
the members were vikas, raven, miro, a guy called jed kirkland (everyone just calls him kirkland) and a woman called aurora (rory) mburu
media called them the frankfurt five bc it was in a bank in frankfurt that kirkland killed a bank worker and the whole operation fell apart after vikas blew the whistle on him (miro and rory being caught as well was collateral)
vikas: you know him, estonian priest with some latvian in him, righteous in his kinkyness, he always went as vikas margus when doing the bank robbing bc thats his second name so thats why miro didnt put two and two together when dating ivy. spent the robbery money on charity, mainly
raven: you know him too, northern english (near leeds and manchester), romanian roots from dads side, his parents were weird, gave him the second name leviathan (also his dad gave him variegate porphyria) and fucked off when he turned 18. smth wrong in his brain. eldest of the five. spent the robbery money on renoing his family estate and on medical bills
miro: from espoo, wrote 7 L's and went to uni, flunked out after a nervous break, got caught up in robbing banks. youngest of the five. testified against kirkland and got a lighter sentence, served his time, learned to bake and now works at elvira's bakery in the citadel. used robbery money to pay off loans and buy nice things like a new car etc.
rory: first-gen immigrant in italy, her family is kenyan. dealt with a lot of harsh expectations since she was young, ended up rebelling and look where she ended up. used the robbery money to transition, also to support herself and her family (in a way where they wouldnt realize where the money was coming from). did not testify against kirkland but she didnt do the killing (miro's testimony helped) so she didnt get as harsh of a sentence. served it, now she's a cosmetologist/nail tech/does tattoo makeup (idk where she's doing it, likely on earth somewhere)
kirkland: born n raised in antarctica (theres some permanent settlements there but its still a harsh place), dad american and mom british/norwegian, both scientists doing research on the ice, parents were horrible to each other and to themselves, fucked kirkland in the head a little bit to grow up with them in a place where it was very lonely and you couldnt really get away from it either. regrets killing that poor sod, served his sentence without complaint, now lives in nedia and is married to a nedian woman. on disability pension due to mental health but does carpentry work off the record to earn some money

raven and vikas are kinda almost dating now, ravens still dealing with some of the fallout vikas blowing the whistle did, but has accepted that vikas wasnt thinking quite straight (someone being killed in front of you is traumatizing, he just wanted kirkland to be taken in and forgot to think about the others). theyre doing okay
vikas has no issues with raven, miro and rory, but feels betrayed by kirkland and is wary of him, does not regret getting him put to prison and hopes he got help for his problems
raven had a problem with vikas but also they were in love big time during the robbing days, those feelings came back and he could forgive him eventually, cool with miro, cool with rory, feels bad for kirkland and hopes he's doing okay but also thinks it was fucked up what he did
miro is cool with everyone, but feels a bit betrayed by vikas and kinda wary of kirkland, cool with rory
rory is fairly close to kirkland still, feels bad for him and his mental health, she respects his personal space but they do text sometimes, holds no grudge towards miro, no issues with raven, would like a Word with vikas
kirkland would like to have nonthreatening words with miro, is cool with rory and they text sometimes, has no issues with raven, would like to Have Many Words with vikas but isnt like hunting him down or anything. if they ran into each other it could get nasty but with raven being on vikas's side kirkland would be outnumbered (and also raven with his bounty hunter experience has likely killed people too in self-defense so hes not that afraid to shank kirkland if he tried anything)
so apart from vikas and raven being together again (and them meeting up with miro once or twice), only rory and kirkland are in any contact
