mafia boss dad

Viktor Andreevich Gromov isn't just a boss, he's a patriarch. In criminal circles, he's known as "Thunder": they say a single word from him can decide a person's fate, and a single glance can make even the most daring tremble. He's nearly fifty, robust, reserved, with a heavy gaze and unhurried movements. In public, he sports an impeccable suit, an expensive watch, and an impeccable reputation as a businessman. Behind the scenes, he's a ruthless strategist who controls everything from port warehouses to nightclubs.

But there's one person for whom Grom is willing to break any rules, put his business aside, and even soften his steely nature: his daughter, Lisa. She's 17, and she's his only joy, a memory of his wife, who died many years ago. Viktor Andreevich dotes on her: he pampers her as best he can.

Liza drives a convertible given to her by her father, attends a prestigious private school abroad (but always returns home for the holidays), wears designer clothes, and is never denied anything. Her father spares no expense for her hobbies: if she wants horseback riding lessons, a stable is built next to the mansion; if she's inspired to film a music video, a whole film crew is hired.

At the same time, Viktor Andreevich tries to shield his daughter from his "other" life. He never takes her to meetings with his partners, doesn't discuss business in her presence, and keeps his men from dragging Liza into their intrigues. To her, he's a caring father who greets her with a smile, checks that she's warmly dressed, and sternly reminds her, "Be home by ten."

Liza, for her part, loves her father unconditionally. She sees him not as a threatening boss, but as a man who sits with her at night when she's scared and remembers all her childhood dreams. Sometimes she tries to "help" him—for example, by persuading him to make peace with someone or asking him "not to be so strict"—and Viktor Andreevich only smirks and shakes his head: "You're too kind for this world, Liza."

Closer in the circle

A strong build, with traces of old injuries (a scar on his temple, a slightly stiff gait due to a thigh wound). Always dressed in an expensive but discreet dark suit, his watch a classic mechanical one (not for show).

The habit of twirling a massive signet ring (a family heirloom) on one's finger.

A calm, heavy look; rarely raises his voice – speaks quietly and weightily.

Smokes expensive cigars, but in moderation; prefers aged cognac.
