Criminal Underbelly: Mr. Tusk, The Greek, and Baron Varg

Welcome back to another wonderful snippet into the Arkadi-Verse,  Heroes! I pray that your day has been absolutely astonishing as it is productive!

I truly pray that you are all doing great and that all is well, and those that are feeling down… Well, I pray that this temporary storm is lifted from your life, that your strength is manifested to help yourself up and others.

It's not over until you are accomplished. The choice is yours! Don’t get bogged down with things that are beyond our control. 

Today, I want to focus back on the criminal underworld. I was pondering on the world, of the mob bosses, how do they get their goods? Who provides them with the means, what is the price, and who are those that make it happen? 

I would like to invite you all into the realm of the Arkadi-Verse’s underbelly. One of those go to characters will be the ghost and/or phantom of a man known to the underworld as Mr. Tusk. Mr. Tusk is the Minos’s Family arranger, fixer, and accountant. He is rithe of lore within the criminal world as a ghost because he is very reclusive, however, when he is seen; he is sophisticated, extravagant, and extremely intelligent. He is very well equipped as he uses his contacts in the government and military for the weapons he deals with, he has a pulse on the black market, and he is very good within the game of numbers. It also helps that he is a combat and war historian, he despises drugs, and what they do to the community because he loves to stay focused and sharp. Mr. Tusk is a martial artist, strategist, hand to hand combat expert, an adept in knife combat, and a student of medicine. Mr. Tusk is not one who plays, nor does he want to be played with, especially when it comes to his money. 

The Greek, he is another shady character within the Arkadi-Verse who thrives on information as he is the city’s informant. He has a very cut throat way of getting what he wants, and yet, he does not violence towards him. He knows the score, he knows the streets, but he also knows how ruthless it can be. The streets are violent, and he has his finger on the heat within the crime world. He will snitch to the cops, the rival gangs, or anyone that will get in the way of his survival. You are probably wondering why he hasn’t been offed yet? The gangs as well as the cops view him as an asset, but he is definitely not to be trusted, and the stories that he will be a part of will be interesting as to how he will get to live another day. This will make for an interesting gauntlet of events as he plays on as a double or triple agent of the streets. 

We have touched on the hideous group of the Empusas, a vampiric order of ruthless blood suckers dating back to a time when the Summerians and Babylonians. They have been feared fo a long time, there have been rituals made to them as dark agents, and they continue to populate the city of Arkadium. One of their elders, Baron Varg an ancient member of Nosferatu, a sacred order in which Vlad Tepes is in league with as a direct descendant. The lineage is as old as time itself, and they are planning to farm humans for their existence. About Baron Varg, he was one who stood with the 300, during that battle in Sparta against the Persians. To him a century feels as though  a year has passed. The Empusas are an interesting order of villains because they are not the seducers or the seductresses of the vampiric lore that one has been used to over the years, no, they are hideous monsters that imbue evil.
