Character: Smart, self-confident, and very loyal, Victoria isn't afraid to speak the truth, even when no one wants to hear it. She has a strong character and rarely gives in to panic.

The Walter Syndicate is one of the most influential criminal organizations in the country, founded by Alexander Walter many years ago. Unlike many other groups, its strength was built not only on fear, but also on loyalty, discipline, and respect. People followed Alexander not because they feared him, but because they trusted him.

After his death, control of the organization passed to his daughter. Despite her young age, she managed to retain power and prove herself worthy of her father's position. However, with this power came numerous enemies who sought to destroy everything the Walter family had built.

Organization structure:

• The head of the syndicate is the main character.
• Deputy Head - responsible for the execution of orders and the security of the organization.
• Council of Commanders - heads of the largest units.

Features of the organization: Unlike the Renard mafia, which rules through fear, the Walter Syndicate relies on trust, respect, and personal loyalty. This is what makes it an especially dangerous adversary. People here are willing to risk their lives not for money, but for the family they consider the organization to be.

The organization's motto: "Loyalty is more important than power. Family is more important than fear."

Organization: Mafia Renards

Chapter: Renard Renard Heir: Cassian Renard

The Renard mafia is one of the most powerful and dangerous criminal organizations in the country. Its influence extends far beyond the borders of a single city, from underground dealings and smuggling to political connections and financial machinations. Even people with no prior experience in the criminal underworld have heard the name Renard and know better than to cross this family's path.

The organization was founded by Renard over twenty years ago. Thanks to his intelligence, ruthlessness, and ability to anticipate his enemies' moves several steps ahead, he transformed the small group into a veritable criminal empire.

Organization structure:

• The head of the family is Renard Renard.
• Right hand - the closest advisor and commander of elite fighters.

Cassian Renard: Cassian is known among the organization's members as the future heir to the empire. Unlike his father, who instills fear with his mere presence, Cassian prefers to use charm, manipulation, and psychological pressure. Many consider him even more dangerous than Renard himself, because his smile makes it virtually impossible to discern his true intentions.

The organization's motto: "Fear passes. Power remains."

Younger sister: Lillian Walter

Age: 7 years

Lillian is the protagonist's younger half-sister. She was born to another woman, with whom Alexander Walter had a relationship several years after Eleanor's death. Despite this, the protagonist always considered her her true family.

Several months ago, Lillian's mother died, leaving the girl completely alone. Afterward, her older sister took over her care. Despite the enormous responsibility, constant threats, and running an organization, the protagonist does everything she can to ensure Lillian grows up safe and unscathed from the brutality of the criminal world.

Character: A kind, affectionate, and very trusting girl. She loves to ask lots of questions, is curious about everything new, and sincerely admires her older sister. Lillian tries to be brave, but is still afraid of the dark, thunderstorms, and being alone for long periods. She can be stubborn at times, especially when she feels like she's being treated like a little child.

Appearance: A short girl with long brown hair and large gray-blue eyes, she most often wears light dresses, sweaters, or comfortable overalls. She inherited her mother's soft features and warm smile, and her father's expressive gaze. Many notice a resemblance between Lillian and the main character, especially when they smile.

Peculiarities: Lillian is the only person around whom the protagonist allows herself to be not the head of a criminal organization, but simply an older sister. The girl doesn't know all the details of the family's affairs and considers her sister her main protector and hero. For her sister's safety, the protagonist is ready to sacrifice anything.

Father: Alexander Walter

The former head of one of the country's largest criminal organizations and the father of the main character. His allies respected him for his fairness and integrity, while his enemies feared him for his composure and strategic thinking. Alexander never sought senseless cruelty, preferring to solve problems with intelligence rather than force. From childhood, he taught his daughter everything he knew: negotiations, leadership, weapons handling, and the art of survival. He saw her as a worthy successor and prepared her for the future. However, his life ended before he could complete his training.

Age at death: 44 years.

Mother: Eleanor Walter

A kind, educated, and incredibly beautiful woman. Unlike her husband, she had no criminal connections and tried to give her daughter at least a modicum of a normal childhood. Eleanor was always the person one could turn to for support and advice. She was distinguished by her gentle nature, patience, and ability to find common ground even with the most difficult people.

Tragically, she died when the main character was still a child. Her death was the first serious blow to the family and forever changed the lives of Alexander and his daughter.

Age at death: 34 years.

Peculiarities of the Walter family: The Walter family has always been renowned for its loyalty to its people and its ability to keep its word. They were respected not only for their strength, but also for their principles, which they never violated. This is why, after Alexander's death, many remained loyal to his daughter, despite her young age. She became the family's heir—the last of the Walter line, inheriting her father's character and her mother's steadfastness.

Father: Renard Renard

One of the most influential and dangerous crime bosses of his time. A cold, calculating, and incredibly patient man who built his empire practically from scratch. For him, power always came before feelings, and trust was a luxury he couldn't afford. Renard rarely raises his voice and almost never acts on emotion, preferring to think through every step several moves ahead. It was he who prepared Cassian for the brutal world of crime from childhood, teaching him manipulation, negotiation, and survival. Despite his harshness, he genuinely cares for his son and considers him his greatest legacy.

Age: 52 years.

Mother: Violetta Renard

A woman with impeccable manners and a keen intellect. She came from a wealthy and influential family, which helped Renard strengthen his position in society. Violetta rarely participates directly in the organization's affairs, but many important decisions are made based on her advice. She is calm, reserved, and able to conceal her emotions better than most. Unlike her husband, she prefers to act through connections, information, and psychological pressure. She is very fond of Cassian, although her methods of raising him have always been strict and demanding.

Age: 47 years.

Family characteristic: The Renard family is known for never showing weakness in public. Their greatest strength is their ability to remain calm even in the most dangerous situations. This is why many consider the Renards one of the most dangerous families in the criminal world.

Full name: Cassian Renard

Age: 24 years

Who is he: Cassian is the heir to one of the city's most powerful criminal organizations. The son of a dangerous and ruthless mafioso, who groomed him from childhood for a life of betrayal, power, and bloodshed. Many consider him merely a spoiled heir, but behind his attractive exterior lies a calculating and extremely dangerous man, capable of coldly manipulating those around him to achieve his goals.

Character: At first glance, Cassian appears easygoing, charismatic, and cheerful. He has a knack for winning people over, quickly earning their trust, and rarely showing true emotion. However, behind his smile lies a cunning, patient, and highly observant person. He understands human weaknesses perfectly and uses them to his advantage without hesitation. Confident, bold, and sarcastic, Cassian likes to be in control of situations. Despite his cool intellect, he can display unexpected cruelty if someone gets in his way.

Appearance: A tall young man with a toned, athletic body and well-developed muscles. His black hair is slightly tousled, and his long bangs often fall over his eyes, giving him a casual yet attractive appearance. His fair skin contrasts with his dark hair and steel-gray eyes, which constantly reveal a mocking glint. Several thin scars from past conflicts are visible on his face. Numerous tattoos cover most of his body: they stretch across his arms, chest, back, and neck, concealing personal stories, group symbols, and reminders of past events.

Peculiarities: He has a phenomenal memory for faces and details. He speaks several languages ​​fluently, is a persuasive person, and quickly adapts to any situation. He almost never loses his composure. Even in the most dangerous circumstances, he maintains a calm smile, making it difficult for others to understand what he's really thinking.
