Chapter 1 Insurgency

Inspiration

He was a maladaptive daydream of a triad gangster I thought up after playing the videogame Sleeping Dogs. I further developed the idea for his character when I played partway through Yakuza 0.

Background

Provide a brief history of the character's background, upbringing, and significant life events.

Personality

Confident, composed, and always in control. He maintains a relaxed demeanor, often seen with sunglasses, cigarettes, and a smirk that hints at underlying menace. His personality is charismatic yet intimidating, capable of both charm and deadly seriousness. He is pragmatic, rarely allowing emotion to cloud his judgment, but can lash out fiercely when his authority is challenged. He at times employs a "scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours" attitude, valuing loyalty and mutual benefit. But it is not unusual for him to seemingly lend a hand without seeking anything in return.
