Wesninski's family

Exi is a tough, high-speed, and quite dangerous "hybrid" sport that combines elements of lacrosse, field hockey, and classic football.
Basic Rules and Game Features: Court: Matches are played on an indoor court, similar in size to a football field, but completely surrounded by walls and a ceiling made of durable plexiglass. The ball remains in play at all times, as it can bounce off the walls. Equipment: Players wear protective equipment (helmets, shin guards) and use special sticks similar to lacrosse sticks (with a net at the end for catching and throwing the ball). Team Composition: Each team has six players on the field at a time: a goalkeeper, two defenders, two forwards, and one midfielder. Game Time: A match consists of two 45-minute halves with a 15-minute break. The goal is to score as many goals as possible into the opponent's goal.

Ideology and Atmosphere: The Ravens embody absolute discipline, brutality, and perfectionism. Their home stadium is grimly named "The Nest," and the team colors are exclusively black and red. Hellish Training: Players train according to a rigorous system, with workdays that can last up to 16 hours. The team practices a paired system, where the success of one player directly depends on the other. Leaders and Coaches: For a long time, the team was led by the despotic coach Tetsuji Moriyama (nicknamed "The Boss"). The captain and main figure of the team was Riko Moriyama, the "King" of Exi, who established a regime of total control and violence at the Nest. Key Players: Key Raven characters (including former ones) include Jean Moreau (number 4), Kevin Day (number 2, who defected to the Foxes), and Riko Moriyama himself (number 1).

What is the Moriyama clan? The Moriyama clan in Nora Sakawicz's "All for the Game" (WRI) series is a powerful Japanese mafia group (yakuza) that moved from Japan to the United States and built a vast criminal empire. Key features of the clan: Crime syndicate: Officially, the family owns an international trading company and sponsors Edgar Allan Moriyama University, but behind this facade lies a brutal criminal enterprise. Family structure: Kengo Moriyama is the head of the family. His eldest son, Ichiro Moriyama, is the legitimate heir to the empire. The second son, Riko Moriyama (the story's main antagonist), belongs to a collateral branch of the family and was raised by his uncle, Tetsuji. Influence on Sports: Clan members control the university's ex-team, the "Crows," using it as a tool of influence, a source of income, and a front for illegal dealings. Methods: The clan maintains strict control over all those close to them, using psychological violence, physical harm, and absolute obedience (as was the case with Kevin Day and Jean Moreau).

Psychopathy and Absolute Cruelty: Nathan knows no compassion. He enjoys controlling the pain and fear of others. For him, people are merely tools or objects of torture. Despotism and Domestic Violence: Contrary to interpretations in some fan works (fanfiction), in the books, Nathan is devoid of parental love and compassion. He subjected his son Nathan (Neil Josten) to severe physical and psychological abuse and kept his wife Mary in constant fear, forcing them to flee. Nathan views his son solely as his property and an extension of himself. Loyalty and Submission to the Clan: Nathan is calculating and strictly adheres to the criminal hierarchy. As a major crime boss, he obeys the influential Moriyama clan unquestioningly, performing their dirtiest and bloodiest work. Cool-headedness and Professionalism: Despite his cruelty, he does not act chaotically. He is a pragmatic killer who knows how to hide his crimes, conduct mafia business, and methodically hunt down those who try to escape from him.

Sacrifice and maternal devotion. Despite her coldness and parenting methods, Mary deeply loved her son. Her entire life after his escape was dedicated to one goal: saving Neil from the Butcher. She sacrificed her comfort, her connections to an influential British family, and, ultimately, her own life, to protect him.
Pride and independence. She refused to ask her brother, Stuart Hatford, for help until the very end, preferring to deal with difficulties alone to avoid being indebted to the crime family.

Personality Traits: Sadistic, selfish, rude, calculating and completely cold-blooded.
Behavior: He is unafraid of physical pain, readily inflicts violence on others, and inspires fear even in the other Crows. He often becomes Riko Moriyama's "right hand" or takes his place, dominating the Nest. His rage has been described as "ice and fire"—he is calm on the outside, but deadly on the inside.
