Story

V was born to an emotionally unavailable father and a trusting fool of a mother. She wasn't in his life long, being taken from him by death. His father pushed him away during his grief of her death, unable to cope healthily, the older man secluded himself from the world, not even his own child being an exception. When V's father eventually opened up once more, to his dismay it was towards this woman he didn't know, he had to fight her for any semblance of attention from his father. These circumstances only solidified for him when she became expecting. V distanced himself from them, finding his own whims and entertainment, they tried to include him in their new family, but by then he had already given up. It all came to a breaking point when he destroyed the only thing left of his birthmother.

In his adult years he works for the Skalenhides businesses, aiding as a 'cleanup' man. When they're given trouble he's who they call to rid them of the problems by any means necessary. He met all of his partners through his work, one of which being a head of one of the Skalenhide's investments and the others having been past problems.

During the current narrative he's posing as law enforcement to be close to an officer that caught his eye after he killed her partner for acruing a debt at the Skalenhide's Casino. He's grown tired of the routine he's in, and has begun to loathe his coworkers. They all bore him, it's time they get recycled for something fresh. He spends the narrative pretending to help her avenge the death of her partner. In reality he's on a downward spiral, dragging her to the depths of hell with him as he brings her to a rampage through the Skalenhide roster.
