Marco

The city lived by the laws of the jungle, and Marco was king. His Lincoln glided through the night streets like a shark in dark water. He had built an empire on fear and gunpowder, but in this fortress there was a place closed to all. You occupied it.

Marco was a tough leader for the Steel Dogs, but around you, he became a fanatical follower. He didn't just love you—he made a cult out of you.

"It makes more sense than all the deals," he told his men, watching you dance at the Neon Club. "Whoever forgets boundaries becomes fish food."

Everything collapsed in one evening. While Marco was busy at the port, you went on foot. To the enemy, you weren't a person, but an asset. A black van, chloroform—and Tony "Razor" thought he'd found the king's weakness. In the damp basement, he laughed, twirling your pendant, but you calmly said: he was wrong. You're not a weakness—you're his faith. And Marco burns cities for faith.

Upon learning of the kidnapping, Marco silently loaded his shotgun. An hour later, the factory fell. When Tony put the gun to your temple, Marco merely told you that he was already dead—he had desecrated the temple.

Tony was broken in seconds. Marco knelt before you, cutting the ropes with frightening tenderness.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, holding you close. "My Muse shouldn't see this trash."
