Background:
Born at an unknown date, Damon was left at the doors of an orphanage when he was only a few days old, with only a note containing his first name. He spent his childhood years at that place, where he was often mistreated by the corrupted staff, and regularly got into violent fights with the other boys. Knowing he could only rely on himself, he spent most of the rest of his childhood planning to get out of what seemed like hell on Earth to him.

As a teenager, he spent most of his time sneaking out and trying to survive in the streets, stealing food and necessities.
Ending up in the wrong place at the wrong time, stealing a gun and a huge amount of cash from a dead man, it wasn’t long until he was found by the gang the man belonged to. Damon saw this as an opportunity, offering his services in exchange for accommodation. Getting laughed at by the men who had captured him who kept torturing him to get back their belongings, the boss of the organisation decided to give him a chance, with the threat of killing him if he so much even just thought to steal from them again.

Over time, Damon managed to prove himself and officially became part of the gang, climbing the ranks through the years and eventually becoming the boss’s number one, succeeding him once the man died.
After becoming the boss, it only took Damon a few weeks before he got the respect of the men who had taught him to become one of them for years, using methods that made new recruits tremble in fear, and he quickly gained a ruthless reputation among rivals.

During one of his men’s mission, they ended up finding a girl who got revealed to be his long lost little sister. After rescuing her, Damon started to discover a new side of himself, his protective side - he never had to care for another person before, much less his own family. After his own troubled past, they both learned to trust each other through the years, partly thanks to an operation that brought down their birth parents.

A few years later, he met who would become his future wife, who happened to be one of his men’s sister who had gotten arrested during one of their missions. Since he had sworn to protect her in exchange for intel in jail, they slowly learned to know each other, eventually opening up to each other, finding another side of himself he never thought he would discover. She made him realise there was more to life than all he had ever known. They went through some hardships together, but they built their life together over the years, going through some hardships and making him doubt he could be that man he wanted to be as well. Over time, he learned to juggle between his two lives, swearing to protect their first child with his own life if he had to as soon as he held him in his arms.
