William

William "Will" Blackwood (30) Appearance: Tall, lean, with the demeanor of a predator. His hair is jet black, always impeccably styled, but there's a slight carelessness at the temples. His eyes are dark brown, almost black; depending on the lighting, they either seem bottomless or sparkle with amber. His face has sharp cheekbones, a straight nose, and thin lips that rarely curl into a smile, but when they do, they're disarming.

Business empire: He has a diversified portfolio, which he calls the "Three Pillars":

1. Blackwood Logistics is a network of sea freight and fulfillment centers (what brings in stable cash flow).
2. The network of private medical laboratories "Sequoia" (his pride, bought from a bankrupt competitor for a pittance).
3. A venture fund that invests in neural networks for agriculture (where it takes risks and gets high).

Character and habits: — A fanatic of discipline: gets up at 5:30, devotes the first hour to tennis or shadow boxing. "He can't stand unnecessary words. During negotiations, he remains silent, staring at his interlocutor, forcing them to fill the silences." — Drinks only black coffee with a pinch of sea salt. — He wears Brioni suits, but he puts on a tie once a year—at the general meeting of shareholders. — In the car (a black Maybach) he always plays 50s jazz, although in public he says that “music distracts from calculations.”
