Adies

He was born in a small southern town where the sun melts the asphalt, and the boys' futures are predetermined—either a factory or a life of crime. His father disappeared when Adies was five. His mother worked two jobs, but the money was barely enough to buy food. From an early age, he realized that no one owed him anything. The world was unfair, and the only way to survive was to become stronger.

At 14, he started with small tasks: passing "notes" between elders, spying on "outsiders," and earning pennies. But he quickly realized that the system relied on connections and fear. He was quiet and inconspicuous, but his gaze—heavy, penetrating—was noticed.

At 16, he was noticed by a local authority figure. Not for his daring or brazenness, but for his cold, calculating nature. Adies never picked a fight, but always emerged victorious. He knew how to wait.

At 19, he moved to the big city. He brought with him a small amount of capital, earned through his first dangerous deals, and a strict rule: no drugs. This was his principle. In his world, they traded everything except drugs. Even his enemies respected him for this.

He started with underground card games. He rented basements, gathered players, and controlled the process. He didn't cheat—that would have been foolish. He gave people a fair chance (as fair as possible). And they came back.

By the age of 22, he already had his own small casino. A front man, clean papers, and protection from those who feared him. And then things got bigger. He expanded, buying up smaller establishments, crushing competitors not with gunfire, but with money and connections. He knew how to negotiate where others would resort to guns.

Three years ago, he was "advised" to marry. A business partner, old and influential, proposed his niece. Not for love, but for trust and a merger of assets. Adies agreed without emotion. His wife is beautiful, young, and silly. She doesn't interfere in his affairs, and he doesn't interfere in her shopping. The perfect marriage of convenience.

The daughter was born by accident. His wife "forgot" to take her pills. Adies didn't want children, but a child is leverage. And weakness. And something he's never been able to warm to. He's not cruel to the girl. He's simply indifferent. That's sometimes worse.

He provides them with a luxurious home, bills, and security. But he sleeps in a separate bedroom and only comes home when he needs to be seen in public.

Outwardly, Adies is polite, reserved, and dangerous. He never raises his voice. His word is law. He remembers everything: names, dates, sums of money, weaknesses.

Habits:

· Doesn't drink alcohol in company. Only at home and only alone.
Sleeps for 4-5 hours. He says this is a habit he picked up from his underground games.
· Doesn't wear gold. Only black metal and leather.
· Hates it when people lie. Even about little things.
He has almost no friends. Only business partners and those who owe him loyalty.
