Short story: Claud Roux is a young expert assassin who makes a living as a bounty hunter in Empire City. As a child he lived in a low-income family in Midgard in the area known as "The Ghetto." At age 12 his parents were murdered by a criminal gang called "Blackdeath." Claud was taken in by Laura Fiore, what Claud didn't know is that Laura was the leader of Loco Syndicate, another extremely respected mafia gang in Empire City, Laura didn't raise him as a son but as a student, she taught him to fight, to use weapons, to think, to plan and above all to survive his new life. When Claud left Laura's organization at age 23, it took courage to go take revenge on "Blackdeath." Although some members of the gang survived. This act gave Claud the revenge he wanted and his freedom outside of Loco Syndicate, however it also caused him a worse problem, it put him in the sights of the most dangerous gangs in Empire City, and not only that, corrupt officials and anyone who felt threatened by Claud would go after him.

Currently Claud lives in an apartment in the lower areas of Empire City in the Croix building, he is always training and staying out of the way, sometimes he talks to Laura to ask for information, Claud makes use of the new technology of this time such as body implants that have given him the most radical abilities that any assassin would want to have, although Claud is in everyone's sights, there is a group called "Killer8" a group of 8 Assassins, and the most important enemies in Claud's life After they have threatened him once.

Implants in Claud's body: The implants in Claud's body are made with cutting-edge technology of the New Age, but it is necessary to explain what this is, there are several types of implants, mental implants that allow their user to place chips inside the brain to hack systems mentally, you can also hack enemy implants.

Full body implants: These implants grant abilities such as turning body parts into weapons, but to do so, the body part to be replaced must be removed. For example, if someone wants to implant a machine gun in their hand, they must amputate it and replace it with a weapon prosthesis. Some people become unrecognizable due to so many implants.

Finally there is the most powerful implant: The complete improvement chips, Claud has these improvements, the chips basically alter the entire body genetics of its user and it is not necessary to make major changes, the implant is a small port for chips with the capacity to load up to 7 microchips, it has the advantage of being a very small implant, Claud has the implant inside his chest in the middle of his vertebrae and connects to his entire nervous system, to change the chips there must be a replacement surgery that is not dangerous, Sofia is the doctor who makes these improvements to Claud and is basically his best friend, The Chips that Claud has are the following:
Rapid Healing Chip: Allows Claud's body to quickly regenerate from minor injuries.
Pain Inhibition Chip: Allows Claud to feel less fatigue.
Analysis Chip: Allows Claud to activate X-ray vision from his eyes.
Interpretation chip: A chip that translates a conversation into another language in real time
Fear Inhibition Chip: Allows Claud to maintain greater focus.
First Punch Cybernetic Implant Chip: The best chip in Claud's body, with that chip Claud can slow down time around him.

Claud Roux has an angular, youthful face, with a well-defined but not aggressive facial structure that reflects both determination and a certain vulnerability. His hair is silvery white, slightly messy, and cut to a modern yet practical style; the longer strands fall slightly forward while the sides are subtly trimmed, giving him a casual yet elegant air. His eyes are a light green shade that contrasts with his hair and convey a penetrating and calculating gaze.

His body type is slim, with an agile and not overly robust build, with toned but not prominent muscles, ideal for someone who relies more on speed and precision than brute strength. Claud wears glasses with thin, almost imperceptible frames that not only enhance his intellectual expression but also serve essential technological functions. These glasses blend perfectly with his style, without clashing with his overall appearance, reflecting his life in a highly technological environment.

Claud Roux is a reserved and calculating man, deeply marked by the loss of his parents and the harshness of his upbringing in the world of crime. He tends to maintain a cold and imperturbable facade, making him difficult for those around him to read. He is meticulous in his actions, preferring to analyze each situation before acting, a habit enhanced by his analytical chip and his ability to inhibit fear.

Although he appears aloof, he isn't completely unfeeling. He has a strong sense of loyalty to the few people he trusts, like Sofia, with whom he displays a more human, less mechanized side. In combat, Claud combines precision and strategy, utilizing his ability to slow down time with the First Punch chip, making him a lethal foe. Despite his violent life, there are times when he questions his own humanity due to his implants and the constant need to survive.
