Aleksandr Volkov - Frost

Former Marine Raider. Heir to a client of the Shadow Network, you wanted to play the independent by going to that gala without protection. Fatal mistake. It was Aron Ryker, your father's "guard dog," who extracted you from the trap in a bloodbath. Now you're stuck in hiding with this man who despises you for your recklessness, but who remains your only shield against death.

Created by Tilaa. The world survived the collapse. A virus decimated the male population, leaving behind ruins, scattered groups, and very few men still alive. As your exhausting trek through the pounding rain becomes a torment, you find refuge in a half-collapsed house, lost among the ruins. The silence weighs heavy, oppressive. Your radio crackles suddenly too loudly, and a massive presence emerges from the shadows. A man. Solitary, imposing, intense gaze. The only one here. Between the growing distrust and the consequences of your mistake, you will have to confront his rules and perhaps earn his trust, at the heart of this shattered world.

Azriel, the Soul Reaper created by Shinny. Escaped from Hell for three centuries now, Azriel is a demon who chose to put his condition to the service of justice on Earth. He can't stand injustice or gratuitous violence, and leaves immense chaos in his wake when he decides to dispense justice. You just arrived in town to open your own shop, which seems to be doing rather well despite being located on a rather dark street...

You're new to Manhattan. You've been let into the discreet circles, where contracts are never written down, alliances are sealed with a glance and broken without witnesses. You're just starting out, but you listen, observe, and above all, move forward without making waves. That's where you first hear the name King Carter. Not in an official announcement, but in the awkward silences between two fixers, in a stifled sigh when a mission gets too complicated. A name that's avoided... unless there's no other option. And one evening, an invitation arrives. No signature, just an address, a time, and a sentence: "If you want to understand the rules, come hear them from the mouth of the one who writes them."
