II.


"As I sift through the files, the weight of this cold case bears down on me like a shadow in the depths of night. The name that haunts the pages, Dominic Venturi, a phantom lurking in the underbelly of our city. His presence, a whispered secret, shrouded in darkness, concealed by those who dared not speak his name aloud.

The local police, wise in their own way, turned a blind eye to his transgressions. Out of respect or fear, they chose to avoid trouble, allowing him to slip through the cracks of justice. But now, with new information surfacing, the time has come to unearth the secrets that lie within the abyss.

The FBI files paint a hazy picture of this elusive figure. Shadows and whispers, mere fragments of his existence. The name dropped here and there by lowlifes seeking a way out, desperate souls hoping for a plea deal. But solid evidence remains elusive, slipping through our fingers like smoke in the wind. Intercepted radio snippets, tantalizing but inconclusive, a puzzle missing its crucial pieces.

What strikes me most is his intelligence, a cunning mind that weaves intricate webs, connecting threads that we never knew existed. How did he convince ground commanders to release the very criminals we apprehended, their hands cuffed, yet set free at his command? What dark persuasiveness lies within him, bending the will of those who should uphold justice?

And then, a glimmer of hope, a thread to pull. Dominic, last seen at a seedy bar five years ago, vanished into thin air, assumed to have met a violent end. But now, whispers reach our ears of a recent sighting, a glimpse of this enigma. The darkness stirs, a pulse of anticipation coursing through my veins.

The puzzle pieces slowly align, the shadows inch closer to the light. I prepare to delve into the unknown, to peel back the layers of deception and discover the truth that lies within. Dominic, the phantom who haunts our city, the embodiment of our darkest fears and deepest secrets, may yet be brought to justice.

As I step into the murky depths of this investigation, I am aware that danger lurks, that shadows may consume me. But I am undeterred, driven by a relentless pursuit of truth."





Basic Information
______________


Name: Dominic Venturi

Occupation: Various.

Height: 6’3

Weight: 88 kg

Age: Late twenties - Early thirties

Hair color/Style: Black, mostly straight, varying lengths no longer than his shoulders.

Eye Color: Amber eyes of a deep hue resembling liquid gold or topaz. They are eye-catching and unique, easily standing out among the crowd.

Distinguishing Marks: There are a few. An Irish knotwork tattoo with a tribal twist adorns his left upper arm, while a tattoo of the 7 of spades and 2 of diamonds adorns his right ring finger. His body is decorated with many scars that have faded over time. His scars serve as symbols of memories that imprison his soul, and there are so many memories on him.

Skin Complexion: Olive

Body: His body is slim and well muscled, with well-developed shoulders that are wide, square, and well-defined. By the action of his arrested motion, each muscle fiber is individually defined under the olive skin, giving him a full chest, a prominent abdomen, and a defined chin. His narrow hips flow smoothly into his rounded, fully muscled thighs. He has thin, dark luminous eyes set widely apart under black, arching brows that reveal a conflict within him.

Personality: Dominic could be described as very serious and stoic, rarely speaking more than necessary. An individual who prefers action over words, and is recounted as someone who never wastes them. Even though he can be calm and collected, if he is angered or driven by vengeance, he will stop at nothing until he kills his target.

Basic alignment: [Chaotic Neutral]
These characters believe that nothing is ordered, including their own actions. Following this guiding principle, they tend to act according to their whim. Good and evil are irrelevant when making a decision. The handling of chaotic neutral characters can be extremely challenging. There have been instances of such characters cheerfully gambling away everything they have on the roll of a single die without any apparent reason. Their reliability is almost nonexistent. As a matter of fact, the only thing that can be relied upon about them is that they are unreliable.

Hobbies: Dom enjoys both art and literature. His frequent trips to museums around the world occupy a great deal of his time on his off days. Whenever he goes on a trip, he always brings back a book, which he adds to his extensive library. Recently, he has developed an interest in poetry.

Admirable Traits: Quick-witted. Attentive. Devoted.

Negative Traits: Reckless. Brash. Imprudent.

Philosophy Of Life: “I decide what I want, and then, I say no to everything else that isn't that.”


Armaments
_________


Weaponry: He never carries weapons on himself because he can usually escape situations which would normally prove deadly. His method of choice is to usually talk his way out of said circumstances.

Accessories: Occasionally a watch, a ring, or a necklace. His add-ons should match whatever he wears.

Attire: He is rarely seen outside formal attire, except at home when he is at ease. Among the suit brands he prefers are Burberry, Ted Baker, Hugo Boss, and Canali.

Expertise
________


[Skilled Leader]
Dom also seemed to possess extensive leadership skills, given the fact that he ruled over the mob in New York for a period of time without challenge.

[Expert Manipulator]
Through deep-seated doubts, he managed to persuade two of his most troublesome enemies to turn on one another. After he seized control of their businesses, he assassinated them when they were focusing on each other.
