Cross Begovich, a ruthless enemy and loyal friend, ambitious businessman and devoted son, cold strategist and passionate lover. Everyone who met him saw a different side. To some, he was a pillar of strength; to others, a threat. He kept people from falling but showed no mercy to those in his way. He could offer an enemy his hand, then return fire a second later.

Those who loved him could never hate him. Those who wished him harm came to respect him. He built a business from nothing and lifted others with him. Inside a criminal organisation, he fought to save himself and others. He cornered enemies and found a way out where none seemed to exist. He knew when to wait, gather strength and strike when everyone thought him beaten.

His charisma was stronger than any weapon. Those above him sought his attention; those below, he helped rise. In him, humanity met an animal strength that drew everything into its orbit.
